[Bugs + Suggestions]: "The NEW Board Upgrade"

[TrustFire]

Made a minor change to the layout — widened the Posting Tool Box to align with the Add Files Button (with a gap, conforming with the Board theme.)

Right click (the above screenshot) >----> (hold down *Ctrl* key) >>----> click *View Image* for the BIGGER picture.

Well, the BOLD might help the situation but I'm not yet convinced that simply changing the text attribute to Bold will be sufficient to fix the whole problem.

As mentioned, the bold attribute has not been changed — it is already present (it always was.)

Sorry Thought you were saying it WASN'T applied. My bad.

Made locked and 'hot topic' icons grey instead of orange on the server.

Strange — when I disable my own code, the Locked icons (on the Announcements category) are still displaying as orange, for me.

And the new post icons have gone back to grey....

Symmetry (some may not like it):—

• Gained horizontal real-estate by reducing the LHS gap on Quotes (marked red.)
• Increased the margin at the top of Posts (marked green.)

Changes:—

• Widened the (useful) Posting Area substantially.
• Narrowed the (useless) narcissist Avatar area drastically.
• Got rid of a lot of glaring white space (evident on long posts.)
• Resolved a line-breaking bug residing in the original theme.
• Equalized the width of all Avatars without discrimination to caste, creed, race, tribe, gender or ranking.
• My center-aligned Profile Details Section seems pretty pleased with itself.
• Overflowing monstrous Signatures will be less of a PITA, now.
• After regaining my horizontal space, I can now state that this new Board finally pawned the previous one.

Finally grew tired of the Header scrolling down alongside the pages and flirting with the contents — castrated the hooded nuisance, for good.

Meted out the same treatment to the Footer and found myself with appx. 2 inches of precious vertical visual estate.
