Actually you don't need a hack to make your posts independent from each other...Including the gradient bar at the top of each post. It's where you place the post body tables.
There are many methods but I use the
tags within the $TBT and $TBB tags instead of starting with . This way I can set the cells independently. I find all the codes for the postbody (including the author header). Next, place the entire post body code within this two codes of your public_topic_page.pl:
code:
and
code:
[qb]
~;
return ($row);
} # end topic row
[/qb]
Immediately after you set your codes place a
tag or another tag with a height specified inside your tags. The height you set is your preference. Your posts will now have spacing.
Now you can place your gradients either at the top and bottom of your post body code. I hope I didn't make matters more confusing.
If you want to you can check out my topic pages to see if this is what you're looking for as it differs slightly with Rob's Damn Board.
