If somebody could link me to a tutorial or thread explaining how to make one for this board it would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find any at all. I know it has to do with CSS, but I don't know specifically what to do and I'm interested in learning.
*sobs* My posts are so bland. ____________________ |

If you can give me an idea of what you want to use, I can lend you the code for my layout and tell you how to tweak it so it works for you, just let me know. |

Thanks, but what exactly do you mean by what you want to use? ____________________ |

Background image, color scheme, sidebar content, et cetera. |

I'd like this to be my background image if suitable:
I'd like the image to extend into the sidebar. The text boxes should be #33CCFF. I'd also like the username box and date/link/reply/id bar to be #FF59D6. I'm not sure what text colour would be readable over the background, maybe #3D3D3B? If this isn't possible I'll think of the something else. ____________________ |

I don't know how to do a dynamically sized background image that stretches onto the sidebar like you want. KP is the only one I know of that has pulled it off and had it look decent. You would have to ask him.
The rest I could do though. |

Making a post layout is pretty much like using HTML and/or css.
All you do is split the HTML straight in the middle, where you want your post to appear. As for CSS elements, there's .topbar%_1 - This is the cell of the table that contains your username in the sidebar. .topbar%_2 - This is the bit that contains the Posted on and reply links. .sidebar% - This is the sidebar with your avatar and all that. .mainbar% - This is where your post appears. For all those elements, replace % with your user id. In your case, it's be like .mainbar132. Let me put together a quick example based off what you provided. Header:
Signature:
Feel free to play with that example. As for the the !important in the css, that's to tell the browser to override already defined styles. Hope that helps. Edit: Pro-tip. Don't type code first thing after waking in the morning. The world could always use more heroes! |

Trelior, that would be fine. Thank you.
In the mean time, I'll try and have a tinker with what Cherry posted. I'll probably screw it up so I'll probably end up using the one you make. ---------------------------------- Cherry, thanks for the code. I probably didn't communicate well that I know basically nothing about CSS or HTML or write them, but I'll try to make something not terrible. ____________________ |

As for a simple css reference, I use this page. They put some annoying little direct-to-help page thing on there. Just click to the side of the box and it goes away.
Edit: I just noticed errors I made from being half-asleep. I also corrected them in your profile. The world could always use more heroes! |

Turns out I'm worse at this than I thought which is very difficult. The end result of my meddling has turned out to be a clusterfuck of Frankenstein proportion.
Edit: Don't tinker with code when you've have little to no sleep for the fifth consecutive day. ____________________ |

You're gonna need something for a text backdrop because the blue of the text merges with the blue in the picture. |
