My Icons are in the wrong place


Help!
I want my Olympic Ring icons to be in the box to the far left, not right next to my topic name.

What can I do?

Also, how come my line separators that separate the topics in my forum don't appear unless I have the mouse over the topic?

Thank You.

Welcome to the Temple, BobsBeerBottle! emoticon

Re: icons

The reason your icons are showing up in the wrong place is because "forumlistforumname" is the class that is used for the forum name itself. Here is a snippet of your current code:


#fl_td_1_2 .forumlistforumname { display:block;
  height: 15px;
  padding-left: 31px;
  background:url('http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g240/suegirl145/olympics.gif') top left no-repeat;
}


Here's what this code is doing:

display:block; and height:15px; ... I can't think of a way to explain this in layman's terms right now, but it turns the forum name into a block-level element (as opposed to inline) that is 15px tall.

padding-left:31px; is pushing the text away from the left edge by 31 pixels. This is done to make room for the icon.

background: this should be pretty self-explanatory.

top left no-repeat; ... positions the icon to the top left corner of the block, and no-repeat tells it to only display once instead of tiling.

All that aside, it sounds like the box you are wanting to put them in is the box that alerts people of new posts, in which case you can put the following HTML in your Custom Language Set to replace "New" with the image.


<img src="http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g240/suegirl145/olympics.gif" width="31" height="15" alt="New" />


If I've misunderstood your intention, please let me know. emoticon


Re: line separators

I'm not sure what you are referring to by line separators. Are you wanting boxes around everything?

When I hover over a forum, I see something similar to:
~MAG~ | 0 | 0 |
Is this what you mean? Those |'s are spaces between table cells, and the reason you don't see them unless you hover is because the table's background color is the same color as the cells when your mouse isn't over them.

Again, if I've misunderstood, please let me know. emoticon

The reason you dont see the 'separators/borders, is that the borders are transparent and it is the background that 'shines' through.

That's probably an easier way to put it. emoticon

Re: My Icons are in the wrong place


Thanks everybody, I appreciate all the help.

I wonder why it didn't work. I took out the code in my CSS settings that was placing my icons near my topic names and then I went into Custom Language Settings and put the html Lesigner Girl gave me into the follow boxes.

forum_list_newtext
and
topic_list_newtext

however, the icons aren't showing up at all.


Also, yes I what I was trying to say about the line separators is that I just wanted spaces between each cell, but i've tried everything, including changing all of the border colors in my "edit layout/colors" section and it never changed colors.

Any advice?

Hi Bob! emoticon

Nothing changed because there aren't any posts. There have to be "new" posts before the "new" icon will show up. Go put the code back in, then look at your board. I just made a post (which you can delete), because you will not get to see the "new" icon next to the new post if you make the post yourself.

For borders, you have to change the table's background color. That background color will show up in the gaps between table cells, giving that "illusion" of borders.

Change:

.forum_list_table, .topic_list_table {width:740px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px; border-color:#0099ff;}

To:

.forum_list_table, .topic_list_table {width:740px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px; border:0; background:#0099ff;}

Grr! It worked for a second, then when I went back to look at it back, the icon dissappeared. The cell is way to narrow all of the sudden, so the icon doesn't fit, but I DID see it when I first looked after reading your reply.

Why did it change like that?

Thanks again, you're being so helpful.

Re: My Icons are in the wrong place


If you look at a thread after the last reply has been made, then the posts in there are no longer "new" until someone makes another post.

The cell is not too narrow. The cell expands to fit whatever is inside it.

Did you take the icon out again?

Jeeze, this is so confusing. Is there a way to just put the Icons in permanently? I think i'll put the NEW back in, but can I create a cell for the Icons as well?
