Wouldn't making div.signature the second child of div.postbody (and thus a sibling of div#post_contentXXXXX) let you position it at the bottom? I don't *think* (but I may be horribly wrong on this) that modifying the html structure this way would be particularly hard or break anything.

^ that would add extra height to all posts with a signature, as it wouldn't be displayed inline with the user profile. And that's an actual drawback, unlike the way it currently is now (looks ugly but is efficient in terms of space).

edit: well that doesn't answer your question (but it answers the question I expected your post to be). Now, for your suggestion, you would still need a way to "push it to the bottom", which as far as I know doesn't exist.

Well at that point you could try

Code: Select all

div.signature {
    bottom: 5px; /* or whatever */
    position: absolute;
}


Or at least I think it should work, but I feel position: absolute will break some stuff.

For absolutely positioned elements, that is, those whose position property is set to absolute or fixed, the bottom property specifies the distance between the bottom margin edge of the element and the bottom edge of the block containing the element.

It won't work, you would need postbody height to be 100%, and that's not possible for floating elements.

And in an hypoteticall scenario where you could set this height, absolute elements are put on top of other elements. So if you had a post where postbody height is larger than postprofile, then the signature would display on top of postbody text (unless you reserve some space, which is not possible to do dynamically do based on signature's height)

Tried fiddling with it and see if I could make it work. As you said, even moving the signature around still makes it impossible to achieve unless at least the height of the signature is known. Then it may be possible (or I may be wrong, quite tired right now).

Sometimes css sucks and there's no way around it I guess.

yeah... luckily they're improving it constantly, and I even think the not yet released css version/changes contain what you want, if I remember correctly from what I skimmed.

I can remember the css from like 10+ years ago... dear god, what we have today is godly compared to back then... just the number and complexity of the selectors makes things much more easier, not to mention the rest.

anyways, I'm offtopic. xD

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned but:
Is it possible to move the "report post" button (right between the "edit" and "quote" buttons) to another part of a post?

I keep accidentally clicking "report" instead of quote. Obviously this is my own problem, but as a quality of life thing, it might make more sense to move the "report" button to like...bottom right corner?

If you feel this is a silly or "not worth the effort" kinda thing that's ok, but I feel a way to write posts laid out in two columns would be great for guides and such things.

Probably need table formatting then.

Tried to copy my old guide, table code doesnt exist / not same as old one.
