tweaks to dice roller

The code's been updated in the database with the default alignment being horizontal. The following will do what you ask and includes the updates:<style type="text/css">
.dicebg {background-color: FFFFFF;border:solid 2px #000000;}
.dicefont {background-color: FFFFFF;color: 000000; font-weight:bold;}
</style>

All installed and it works a treat. Thanks for the quick response, it's much appreciated.

That's what the new code will do for you. By pressing the dice roller icon in your post, it will open two pop up boxes. The first will ask how many dice you wish to roll and the second will ask how many sides those dice have. This second box can be used to add modifiers to your roll
e.g. It is now possible to roll 4d6-2 or 5d10+1 etc. This way will however roll -2 to each of the four d6s rolled and +1 to each of the five d10s. It is possible to add the modifier to a single die however by simply amending one of the dice rolled.
[dice=10][dice=10][dice=10][dice=10+1]=(4d10)+1=5-41
[dice=10+1][dice=10+1][dice=10+1][dice=10+1]=4(d10+1)=8-44
Did that make any sense?
Basically, the updated code will do what you ask.

Consarnit, the dice are broken again. They won't show up.

For some reason this code is giving me problems =/ Strangely, I seem to be the only one on my roleplaying board experiencing it as well. Whenever I go to preview a post, whether or not I actually use the dice code, this following link ends up being injected;

I know it's the dice code causing this. Other proboards I frequent that don't have the code aren't causing me to experience this, and when the dice code was removed from my group, the problem disappeared from there as well (only to return when the code was put back).

Hum... It doesn't happen in IE... =/
