A new look for your "newthread , newreply & editpost" posting templates!
This mod simply rearrange the whole look of the posting area with everything into a simple and easier viewing "Block". Members will easily have a better view of every options available and also make it cleaner and better looking!

This mod is based from our older 3.8 version of Lordtopcat "A new 'newthread' look"
that i couldn't find anywhere for the new version.

OPTIONAL:

I have added two extra CSS to it that you can use to change the look of the border, background and text color in it to match your board look! IF you do not want to add this option, you will need to replace whit the instruction from the .zip file: New CSS
Make sure that you use WordPad to open the text files, they are in .rtf (rich text) for an easier instruction view.
I also added a block to the newthread in order for you to add 2 adsense block with maximum size of 200x200.

Instructions for the adds are included in the scripts of the newthread so that you only have to replace this:

Code:

<!-- insert the google scripts in here, you can add up to 2 small 200x200 frames side by side
If you do so, simply delete this explanation and replace it with your scripts -->

with your google adsense scripts.

Template editing:
Style Manager -> Your Style Here -> Edit Templates -> New Posting Templates -> newthread
Replace the entire content in the original template with the one from the .zip file

Style Manager -> Your Style Here -> Edit Templates -> New Posting Templates -> newreply
Replace the entire content in the original template with the one from the .zip file

Style Manager -> Your Style Here -> Edit Templates -> editpost
Replace the entire content in the original template with the one from the .zip file

StyleVars adjustment:
->Style Manager -> *Your Style here* -> StyleVars
In the search box, type form, then click on form_maxWidth and change the value of the Units to % and size to 100

Extra note:
In order to have the "post icon" to show as normal size in the posting area you will need to replace this CSS :
Style manger -> your style -> edit templates -> CSS Templates -> vbulletin-formcontrols.css ->.formcontrols .blockrow #posticon_preview ->
With this one:

HTML Code:

.formcontrols .blockrow #posticon_preview {
	width:auto;
	height:16px;
	margin-{vb:stylevar left}:{vb:stylevar padding};
}

CSS Option:
Open Style Manager -> Your Style Here -> Edit Templates -> CSS Templates -> additional.css
at the bottom of the list, add the codes from the .zip file.
Follow the instruction from the text file in order to adjust colors and background.

***Reminder***
If you are using the plugin Thread Thumbnails : Thread Thumbnails
Do not forget to add the code in it!
Find:

Code:

			{vb:raw messagearea}
			{vb:raw posticons}

and add over it:

Code:

<!-- ModStyle -->            
                    <vb:if condition="$show['thumbnailurl']">
			<div class="blockrow">
				<label for="thumbnailurl" class="full">{vb:phrase thumbnail_url}:</label>
				<input type="text" name="thumbnailurl" id="thumbnailurl" class="primary full textbox" value="" maxlength="250" />
			</div>
		    </vb:if>
<!-- ModStyle -->

That's it! The newthread, newreply & editpost templates are now looking way much better and cleaner

It should fit nice in both fluid and fixed skins, but , some of the fixed skins are less then the maximum table width from the mod that is set to "1200px". Therefor, i do not suggest that you install this mod since everything would make it way too compressed or totally out of the main body

Enjoy and remember the click INSTALLED! Your support is appreciated
