I have seen several sites that have seperated posts. I liked it so much I added the hack. What I can't seem to figure out is how to add the gradient bar (I added that hack as well) to the top of each post.

Any thoughts?

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:

Quote
code:
Code
	
} # end if

my $row = qq~

and

code:
[qb]
Code
  

~;

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. tipsy

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. tipsy
