nice class names :P

There's going to be a big empty space at the bottom of all of your posts because your full post box is expanded because of your avatar. Without the avatar, you could go with around 12em, but with your avatar, you should go with around 26em so it doesn't cut off strange on short posts.

One way to fill up the weird blank space below your post contents on short posts is to have more in your signature. Doing that is probably the best way to hide the negative space.

Hm, so is it a problem on my part of the post-layout (and avatar size) or the site simply didn't appropriately adjust to the avatar size? Because if I do go with min height, it pads out my post.

I don't want to have a huge signature either.

remember that signatures are limited in height, though


150px or so


oh well. the rules say 100px at the default font size

Anything I can do in the meantime? I mean, I didn't have this problem in RVLution, only here...

raise the min-height


32.5em should be fine

If anything, you could try increasing the padding in either the background, the post box, or both. But taking that too far could make it look weird.

Well, I think the current design is fine, but if there's any way to align the image to the bottom-left corner of the post so it shows up in the bottom left in shorter posts, then that would be great. I've looked through the Internet and couldn't find a satisfying method to do it.

I'm no CSS expert, but increasing the padding on the top might work. You could look at the code for others' layouts that have images for an idea.

I'm not sure if that'll fix the problem. It's not about the size of the space, it's ensuring the image always sticks to the bottom of the post container.

I know of a simple way to do that. You need to turn your image into a background (another class to add to your CSS) and call it right after the normal background but not after the post box.

Basically: make another <div> between .DK-burgers and .Mario-vomit (great names) and put apply some CSS to it.
{background: url(http://www.mariowiki.com/images/archive/b/be/20160129041424%21Mario_OK%21_-_Animated_Sticker.gif) bottom no-repeat;min-height:[MINIMUM HEIGHT HERE];}

You're going to need to remove the min-height and padding properties from your background and add it to this extra class, but it should work. Hell, that's how it works with my post layout (there's two separate images, one that always sticks to the bottom).

reminds me of something that could be cool: a class checker; you give it a CSS class and it tells you whether someone is using it (or if it's used by the board)

might also help you generate class names that aren't used...?

Thanks a lot (and also for the compliment)! It helped tremendously! Well, there's a big space there in small posts, but that can't be helped, I guess. I should probably increase the padding around the main message and maybe make a signature composed of text, but I don't feel like adding bargledygoop. Also, my box would cover the image if the post is too long, but I guess I'll just pad the bottom??? Edit: Did it. Have some Wario hot dogs. :P

Since it's easy to keep track of who uses post-layouts and who doesn't maybe make a list for now, if we haven't?

you can see the positive side of it: it does leave you a lot of room for improvement :)

I made a post layout in browser, but it's not like the one in the tutorial.
I'm not an expert on HTML (or coding in general), so I made mine by looking at the layout of other people (StapleButter and LeftyGreenMario) and tried to mimic the structure of their code.

Now I have two questions:
-what do I have to paste in the "Header" section?
-Is there anything missing in/wrong with my code?

Here's the code, if that helps:
Pastebin.com

the header is added before your post, the signature is added after.

All right, I think it worked!
One more question: how do get rid of that line on the bottom? Does it have something to do with my signature?

uncheck the "Show signature separator" tickbox.

as said above.

regardless, good job, that's a cool layout you've got there.

Your layout reminds me a lot of the AMD logo :P
