    What I hate is that there is now so much space between the editing buttons and the helpful thumbs.

    I'm trying to figure that out right now. See, I did the template edit - you can check the page source (good luck; none of the lines have breaks) and see that the img sizes have been updated to reflect the new images... yet I am still seeing them scrunched. I'm confused as hell right now.

    Tell it not to do the automatic edits and manually insert the code into your postbit_legacy.

    Nick they're not scrunched at all. Not on my monitor anyway.


    I hate the auto template edits. I do it manually every time.

    Okay, wait - the source is showing the old values. But I swear, I did the template edit and the old values aren't visible in it.

    I agree with Chris. This is a VERY easy way to help boost someone's rep if it's tied in with it. :D

    Looks professional (smooth click and such) and easy to install too! :)

    did you select no, for the automatic template edit in the acp? If not, that may be the issue.

    Whereabout in the postbit_legacy template do you recommend I add it? I'd like to have it before the line that separates the post and signature.

    I just tried playing around and putting it in a few places, and effectively screwed it up. :)

    You could always set it up like this one Post Ranking System - vBulletin.org Forum

    Of course you would want to keep the one you're working with already because it works with rep and all but instead of having something else in the lower postbit?

    Peggy,

    Kevin just mentioned to put the "helpful posts" mod in the same space as that mod. It was just an example of where Nick could code it.

    And of course, if Peggy doesn't approve of such a mod, we shouldn't use it here.

    I probably should have used a smiley... but apparently, I was a bit too lazy.

    Okay, I manually added it to the template this time. But still:
    1) The images are squished
    2) There is a huge space between the editor buttons and the thumbs.

    Nick, that's one of those things that is so annoying when you're trying to get it to work correctly. But, I'm sure you'll get it! :D
