IMHO this adds a bit of "Spit and Polish" to the presentation of the posts.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

Open: Your style_*.css

Find:

.post-text {

	max-width: 740px !important;

}

Replace With:

.post-text {

	max-width: 740px !important;

	margin-left: 20px;

}

I don't know whatever else it affects etc, but I should imagine it would only improve it from what it originally was.

Hi Lopa, thanks for this mod, I have a question,

How can I do to put this bleeding?

I try:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

.post-text {

    max-width: 740px !important;

    text-indent: 40px;

}

but text-indent only works at the first line...

Yes... that is the purpose of this modification.

If you want to indent everything then use padding.

Unfortunately adding the margin also knocks custom blocks off center

I haven't looked at it - try this - if it doesn't work - I'll have a look at why it doesn't.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

.post-text {

    max-width: 740px !important;

}

Replace With:

.post-text {

    max-width: 740px !important;

    padding-left: 20px;

}

I did try it but isn't really worth the problems, if anything Id rather alter the actual width so it extends over to the right more, but not sussed out were to alter it yet

ip/default/common.css

Just try changing the margin. If the results are the same - I'll leave it to MG to have a look at it, after all it's his theme.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

.post-text {

	width: 98% !important;

	float: left;

	clear: both;

	font-size: 12px;

	margin-left: 20px;

	/*line-height: 1.2em;*/

	/* to avoid vertical scrollbar with acronyms in last line */

	padding-bottom: 3px;

}

It's only a template issue.

Find: post-text - copy to post-text2 and change that to padding whatever.

Find the post-text in the theme that should be after <textarea> in posting_template.tpl or whatever it's called and change it to post-text2 so that you only affect the theme that you are using.

If it's global as in the default posting_template.tpl or whatever, then copy posting_template.tpl to the theme you are using and edit it there.

Better still - Start a NEW thread on your question in templates and styles whatever, and maybe then MG will see it rather than drag up the problem in old threads.

I HATE - Nested templates.
