I thought it might look alright but now that I think about it, it doesn't line up right does it?
I have one other idea that I used on an older forum, and thats <fieldset> and <legend> tags. They look pretty sharp. I haven't used them in so long I've forgot how . I should have the old code around, I'll look for it.

if you move it into the code above I don't think you will be able to edit it properly.

A work around may be to introduce another forum tag within the forum tag [quote]

I think I see where your going with this but not sure how a new
tag within the quote tag would effect its layout - could you
elaborate a bit? It's bothering me now just knowing this has
got me so stumped and I cannot find a solution to something
so small

If we are both aiming for the same result, eg a 2 row table saying "quote: originally posted by xxxxx" in the top row then you would have to move that entire row into the code above. I think this would work for posting replies. The trouble will come when trying to edit/reply to the topic with this code in, it will not convert back to forum code for editing.

I think "maybe" (don't quote me ) an extra set of forum tags with the code above may be used to convert this back to forum code, i'll have a go!

Here's an example of <fieldset> with <legend> Klick.
If anyone likes I'll post the code

Here it is. Don't copy and paste this directly to your forum
I had to put in *'s for the forum code and I'm not sure I gotem all .
Its basicly <fieldset><legend>legend text (name)</legend> fieldset text (quote)</fieldset>
I put inside of blockquote because that was the easiest way I found to get it centered on the page.
Play around with it.

inc_func_common.asp

if fField_Type <> "signature" and fField_Type <> "title" then
		fString = doCode(fString, "[*quote]", "[*/quote]", "<blockquote id=""quote""><fieldset id=""quote""><font size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ id=""quote"">", "</font id=""quote""></fieldset id=""quote""></blockquote id=""quote"">")
	end if


Add <legend> to chkString (I added <fieldset> also, but I don't think It needs it)


                        fString = doCode(fString, "[legend]", "[/legend]", "<legend>", "</legend>")
                        fString = doCode(fString, "[fieldset]", "[/fieldset]", "<fieldset>", "</fieldset>")


inc_func_posting.asp

fString = replace(fString, "<blockquote id=""quote""><fieldset id=""quote""><font size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ id=""quote"">","[*quote]", 1, -1, 1)
		fString = replace(fString, "</font id=""quote""></fieldset id=""quote""></blockquote id=""quote"">","[*/quote]", 1, -1, 1)


Add <legend> to cleanCode function ( again I have <fieldset>)


fString = replace(fString, "<legend>", "[legend]", 1, -1, 1)
           fString = replace(fString, "</legend>", "[/legend]", 1, -1, 1)
           fString = replace(fString, "<fieldset>", "[fieldset]", 1, -1, 1)
           fString = replace(fString, "</fieldset>", "[/fieldset]", 1, -1, 1)


post.asp (there are 2 places "ReplyQuote" "and TopicQuote"

if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" then
			TxtMsg = "[*quote][legend][*b][*i]Originally posted by " & chkString(rs("M_NAME"),"display") & "[/i][/b][/legend]" & vbNewline
			TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "
" & rs("R_MESSAGE") & vbNewline
			TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[*/quote]"
		end if


if strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then
			TxtMsg = "[*quote][legend][*b][*i]Originally posted by " & chkString(rs("M_NAME"),"display") & "[/i][/b][/legend]" & vbNewline
			TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "
" & rs("T_MESSAGE") & vbNewline
			TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[*/quote]"
		end if


Thats it
There are a few things you can do to the frameset and legend, but I've found that useing css is the best way to get the most out of them.
You can change the frameset border with css (style=""border:2px inset red;"")
you can move the legend around. default is left, then center or right <legend align="right">

You don't see these tags being used very often. That's probably why alot of folks don't know about them

As far a browser support W3 says NN 6.2 and IE 4, so you might want to check opera etc...

Thanks, that was what I meant above by introducing a new forum tag/code but I was going to use the tag ([legend] as you call it) to be replaced by a tablerow so I could get it to look like http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20874 but moving the member name into the top row and just having the post in the bottom.
I'm confident that it can be done now after seeing this

I thought thats what you meant David. You could try a <th> tag in post.asp.
or just a <td> might work .

I tried to get this working and got errors

cripto9t, could you possibly show me/us a .txt version
of your ( post.asp , inc_func_common.asp , inc_func_posting.asp )
with these chages made?

I think that may help me see where I went wrong
