how can i change user in forum topic

[CodySweatshirt]

so i want to change what the users look like to the left of the post they make.

i found a theme i really like but i hate that particular part of it. any insight?

[Arantor]

What theme? What's wrong with it in that theme?

Really hard to say 'this thing sucks' without any more information

theme = Bullet

but the theme is kind of irrelevant.. im just seeking some insight on how to change what a user looks like when they make a post

[Arantor]

No, it's not even remotely irrelevant. Some themes use the standard code, plenty of themes don't.

And as for tips, what are you looking for? Tips on how to change it: there's the code, go edit it. Unless you're fluent in PHP, HTML and CSS, this is going to be a challenge, meaning that the best option is for you to explain what you're looking for so someone can document the changes you will need to make...

Also, I can't seem to find the theme...

there it is. how difficult would it be for me to figure out how to steal another themes... i dont even know what to call it

[kat]

Do you mean you want to change the picture, on the left, there? The cat, drumming it's thumbs?

If so, go to your Profile>Forum Profile and change the avatar.

[Kindred]

no k@... he wants to change the mini-profile layout/look....

[kat]

I'll take your word for it.

[Arantor]

This would be so much easier if we didn't have to keep trying to read your mind and you were actually specific about what you are trying to do.

In your current themes index.css file find this comment:

Code Select Expand

/* poster and postarea + moderation area underneath */

Then find this comment:

Code Select Expand

/* The quick buttons */

Then replace everything in between those two comments with this:

Code Select Expand

.post_wrapper
{
float:left;
width:100%;
}
.poster
{
float: left;
width: 15em;
}
.postarea, .moderatorbar
{
margin: 0 0 0 16em;
}
.postarea div.flow_hidden
{
width: 100%;
}

.moderatorbar
{
clear: right;
}
/* poster details and list of items */
.poster h4, .poster ul
{
padding: 0;
margin: 0 1em 0 1.5em;
}
.poster h4
{
margin: 0.2em 0 0.4em 1.1em;
font-size: 120%;
}
.poster h4, .poster h4 a
{
color: #c06002;
}
.poster ul ul
{
margin: 0.3em 1em 0 0;
padding: 0;
}
.poster ul ul li
{
display: inline;
}
.poster li.stars, .poster li.avatar, .poster li.blurb, li.postcount, li.im_icons ul
{
margin-top: 0.5em;
}
.poster li.avatar
{
overflow: hidden;
}
.poster li.warning
{
line-height: 1.2em;
padding-top: 1em;
}
.poster li.warning a img
{
vertical-align: bottom;
padding: 0 0.2em;
}
.messageicon
{
float: left;
margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
}
.messageicon img
{
padding: 6px 3px;
}
.keyinfo
{
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
.modifybutton
{
clear: right;
float: right;
margin: 6px 20px 10px 0;
text-align: right;
font: bold 0.85em arial, sans-serif;
color: #334466;
}
