RC2 - Post Profile Area

[C4G-TK]

Just when I start to figure out how to do things, something gets changed.  Then, the next time I go to make changes to my site, I'm at a loss as to where to go to make things happen.

I'm using RC2 still.  (Yeah, I know.  "You should upgrade to RC3."  I'll do that once 75% of the mods I use are updated.)

Anyway, all I'm trying to do it change the width of the post profile area.  Trying to make it a little wider.  That's it.  So, I went into my theme and was looking in style.css.  Then, I realized, that RC2 doesn't use style.css any longer.  (Guess I can go ahead and delete that file from my server.)  So, I looked in the css folder and opened up index.css and forum.css and started fooling with things, but couldn't get that area to budge despite clearing my cache on the forum and the browser.  So after searching and reading all kinds of posts that had nothing to do with RC2, I'm making a post here.

Where do I go to change the width of the profile area when you look at a post on RC2?

index.css, look for ".poster"

CRAP, now I know why I couldn't find it!

I used to have the width in px and not as an em.  Ahhhhhh!  Thanks!

think to make post profile bigger you have to adjust .poster but you have to also adjust .postarea

e.g. if .poster is 15% and posterarea is 85% - if you make poster 20% you have to adjust postarea to 80% (so that it always balances out over the total width of the post)

I just changed this and it appears to have worked.  Did I do something wrong?

Code Select Expand

/* poster and postarea + moderation area underneath */
.poster
{
float: left;
width: 200px;

I think originally width said 15em

I had a different problem recently and seems like this change caused it.  I since changed it to the following and resolved my issues in all browsers for 2.0 Gold release

Code Select Expand

.poster
{
float: left;
width: 20%;
text-align: center;
}
.postarea, .moderatorbar
{
margin: 0 0 0 16em;
}
.postarea div.flow_hidden
{
width: 80%;
