phpBB3 - Moving profile from right to left of post

Some users just don’t like profiles to be shown on the right side of the post. To change it to the left is very easy, just follow these simple steps.

  1. Go to Administration Control Panel (or edit file styles/prosilver/theme/ content.css and jump to 3.)
  2. Click on STYLES tab then select Themes under STYLE COMPONENTS and click Edit for the prosilver style
  3. Locate this piece of code (I):
  4. .postbody {
    padding: 0;
    line-height: 1.48em;
    color: #333333;
    width: 76%;
    float: left;
    clear: both;
    }

    and change the

    float: left;

    to

    float: right;
  5. Locate this piece of code (II):
  6. .postprofile {
    /* Also see tweaks.css */
    margin: 5px 0 10px 0;
    min-height: 80px;
    color: #666666;
    border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
    width: 22%;
    float: right;
    display: inline;
    }

    and change the

    float: right;

    to

    float: left;
  7. Locate this piece of code (III):
  8. .pm .postprofile {
    border-left: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
    }

    and change the

    border-left: 1px solid #DDDDDD;

    to

    border-right: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
  9. Now we have to change the online image. Open Photoshop, load image styles/prosilver/imageset/en/icon_user_online.gif and perform the following actions (if you use some other image software just perform similar actions):
    • Select RGB Color under Mode in Image menu
    • Rotate 90º CCW under Transform in Edit menu
    • Save for Web… in File menu

    or download here the one I changed for you :D
    Don’t forget to upload the image to the same location in phpBB3 directory structure.

…under construction right now…
