hi every1...
I googled everywhere and wasted too many hours but I couldn't find the answer... Sad there's nothin out there regardin mybb.
I'm neither a programmer nor a coder. I just get what I want through manipulation.
first off, the style I chose for mybb is postbit classic and I set it for all users through a SQL code.

I'm pretty sure that the answer lies in the code lines below in postbit classic where the signature is located:

Quote: <td class="{$altbg}" valign="top">
<table width="100%">
<tr><td>{$post['posturl']}<span class="smalltext"><strong>{$post['icon']}{$post['subject']} {$post['subject_extra']}</strong></span>
<br />
<div id="pid_{$post['pid']}" class="post_body">
{$post['message']}
</div>
{$post['attachments']}
{$post['signature']}
<div style="text-align: right; vertical-align: bottom;" id="post_meta_{$post['pid']}">
<div id="edited_by_{$post['pid']}">{$post['editedmsg']}</div>
{$post['iplogged']}
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>


I edited the "valign" to "bottom" but it also aligned the post message ( {$post['message']} )...
I added another row and put the signature in between but still the same problem.



I even tried addin a valign to postbit_signature but it didn't work either..
<hr size="1" width="25%"  align="left" />
{$post['signature']}
Any help will be appreciated

Vertical align :top in that td tag will align all content inside table tag (post message,signature,'attachments',edited message) to top so applying vertical-align:bottom to post sinagute doesn't have any effect.

For that you can use this method:

Move the {$post['signature']} from table tag and paste id under </table>

Open postbit_signature template and wrap it with div and add class postbit_classic_signature and save it.

<div class="postbit_classic_signature">
<hr size="1" width="25%"  align="left" />
{$post['signature']}</div>


Open postbit_classic and find td tag with class and valign attribute and add class postbit_classic_content and save it.

td class="{$altbg}" valign="top">

td class="{$altbg} postbit_classic_content" valign="top">

Now open global.css that is used by your forum theme and add:

.postbit_classic_content {
    position:relative;
}

.postbit_classic_signature {
    position:absolute;
    bottom:2px;
    left:2px;
}

Output: http://i.imgur.com/cHVh7.png

Postbit_classic template (if you want it paste all content form pastebin to your postbit_classic template) : http://pastebin.com/AJkpVR3N

Thx Johhny but the signature just disappeared..
time to cry now.Sad

this code might be the problem-maker coz when I delete it the signature shows up again...:
.postbit_classic_signature {
    position:absolute;
    bottom:2px;
    left:2px;
}

Can I have a link to your forum, a post with a signature displayed if possible.

Y not Frank... here

I actually didn't use the given codes on my website coz I test them on my offline locallhost beforehand to make sure everything works just fine.
but what difference does it make anyhow ? both are the same with or without the revised codes.

STARS you didn't add postbit_classic_content class to td tag in postbit_classic and that is why signature is positioning absolute (postbit_classic_container contains relative position property in css).

This is what you need to repaste (it's not the whole code,it's only rededited from your first post) in postbit_classic template.


<td class="{$altbg}postbit_classic_content" valign="top">
 <table width="100%">
 <tr><td>{$post['posturl']}<span class="smalltext"><strong>{$post['icon']}{$post['subject']} {$post['subject_extra']}</strong></span>
 <br />
 <div id="pid_{$post['pid']}" class="post_body">
 {$post['message']}
 </div>
 {$post['attachments']}
 {$post['signature']}
 <div style="text-align: right; vertical-align: bottom;" id="post_meta_{$post['pid']}">
 <div id="edited_by_{$post['pid']}">{$post['editedmsg']}</div>
 {$post['iplogged']}
 </div>
 </td></tr>
 </table>
 </td>
 </tr>

I DID... I double checked.. even triple checked...Sad

just to assure you what I did was correct, I copied and pasted the three edited locations from a FRESH install of mybb...

I actually found out where the signature was located and as u can see in the attachment below, it sticks out of its position...



Edit: Even your last edit had the same problem...

Demo (with your global.css and postbit_classic template and postbit_signature) http://mts22.hostei.com/testportal/showthread.php?tid=1

On your image signature is positioning on bottom of the screen because there is no relative container that can hold it.

EditConfusedince you are forcing postbit_classic can you go to User cp-> Edit Options and thick Display posts in classic mode.

I assume that your browser isn't rendering something correctly,what browser are you using (browser version and what OS [operating system]) ?
