Hi there,

All post on my forum look very cluttered. The thread title, post content and signature are all in the same container, making it difficult to see what goes where.

How would I make it so that these parts get divided by borders?

I use the theme BlackEvo4. My forum link: www.revoltrp.nn.pe

padding, margins, borders, border-colours etc are mainly set in global.css from line 1045, and the corresponding postbit templates. I suggest you check there in your theme.

I believe the theme templates are outdate, try to restore the postbit templates to default and see if it helps.
