a few requests

[RetroLisa]

There are a few things I want to do that I think can be handled with template modification, I'm just not sure which codes to change.

1) Post images to the right without a break in the text on the left. The code I currently use in my footers is called "floating images in posts."

2) Create an "anchor/link" system to jump to a post farther down on the page without going to a whole new page. The code I have on my regular board uses "marker" and "jumpto" links. In regular HTML this is done with "a name" and "#".

3) I want to hide or remove the date and time at the top left of each post.

4) I like having a line to separate posts, but I don't want that line to surround the sides of the posts. Can that be removed?

Also, there are some features that I want to apply only to some boards, but not others. On my regular forum I could do this by changing the footers of each board, but none of those codes are working on the test board. For example, I want the date and time of each post to be invisible on some boards, but visible on others. Will there be codes to apply settings to individual boards?

And finally (I hope!), I had a very simple HTML main header with a very simple table that worked fine on my regular forum, but won't align properly on the test forum. Shouldn't the basic stuff that worked on one forum work on the other?

Thank you for any help you can give me

1) Add this to the bottom of your style sheet (Themes > Colors and Styles > Style sheet tab):

/* floating images in posts */
.post .message img {float: right;}

2) As far as I can tell, it isn't possible to post anchor links using the posting form by default. You'll probably need to request a plugin for this.

3) Consider carefully if you really want to remove this because it is a useful piece of information. Go to Themes > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List tab. Around line 13 should be this lineof code, remove it:

<span class="date">$[post.date]</span>

4) I'm not 100% sure what line around the side of the posts you mean but there is the outermost border of the forum content container. If you want to remove that, go to Themes > Colors and styles > Visual Editor tab. Then navigate through the options: Body (Content) > Containers > Content Areas and change "border width" to 0.

Thank you for your quick response!

I should have been clearer about the 'floating images in posts' request. I only want to float the images that I choose to align right, not all the images. Is there a code for that? The code you gave me put all my images on the right, no matter how they were originally aligned

I will put in a plugin request for the anchor/post feature.

Thanks again

Okay, that will then require you to add some extra tags to your images when posting as we can't directly add the CSS required using the posting form. First off, add the red to the line of CSS I gave you above.

.post .message div[title="float-right"] img {float: right;}

To get this to work in posts, you'll now need to add the extra tags. Usually, you'd post an image in V5 like this:

[img alt="MAL" src="http://myanimelist.net/signature/substitutemyown.png"]

But you'll now need to add the parts shown in red for images you want to float on the right:

[div title="float-right"][img alt="MAL" src="http://myanimelist.net/signature/substitutemyown.png"][/div]

Again, it may be possible for someone to make a neater version of this as a plugin, but it should be simple enough as it is.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

2) You can do this by default with the Proboards software I'm pretty sure.

?scrollTo=3, 3 being the post number

Or are you meaning within a post itself?

[RetroLisa]

That sounds like what I need. I want to "jump" from the first post in the thread to each of the other posts without leaving the page.

You can see it in action on my regular board:

I'm not familiar with the code you suggested. How is it used? Sorry, I'm still a novice when it comes to anything except basic HTML
