Does anyone know CSS?

If you do... how do i get this piece of crap div to align to the bottom of the table cell?

The div in question is outlined in black and under the usernames on the left side. It has the lightsaber in it. I want the div to align to the bottom of the table cell but I can't get it to do it. This is starting to piss me off.

if there's a way, it'll be a hack.

personally i'd just put them in the cell below (but then again, I wouldn't be using tables at all for displaying a thread).

we're getting rid of the bottom row of cells on ever post so that each post is only one row

If each post is only one row, don't use tables at all. a thread view isn't conceptually tabular data, so tables shouldn't be used (the thread listings are tabular however, so tables should be used on the main pages).

unfortunately the rest of the forum is built on tables and i really cant change it without screwing everything up. many of the css elements are hard coded and i cant change them, meaning to use divs i would have to write a whole bunch of completely custom css and ditch the nice admin interface for css.

it's hardly a nice interface, i'd go as far to say it's downright terrible. it's much easier to just have a stylesheet in a text editor.

yeah, but that also means ftp, and most of the admins dont have ftp. i really dont feel like rewriting the vb css admin thing either.

float the div which contains the body of the post to the right (you need to give it a classname and adjust it for any alignment issues the floating might cause), then you just need to make your little icon divs clear:right to drop below the float.

they're not in a div. and i really cant change them from table cells due to the way the css is set up.
