It moves the "profile, edit, etc" icons to the bottom of the messages (the same way this board is set up). And the IP info to the top right.

I smile everytime I see it on someones site. It was included in some multihacks, not made by me but I was given credit. After that it became commonplace. I've been trying to think of another layout so I'd be special again, but no luck. even the staff use is mine. anyway, I'm glad everyone likes it. ------------------

It is the ultimate honor to have your hacks so widely used. Be thankful you are getting credit for them. Mutt, I used your custom layout hack with a few small modifictions, but it is still yours. I have it running on my test board right now on 5.43d and it works great. Soon I will migrate it to my real ubb.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing. This hack is what is putting the little icons on the bottom of each posting? If so, the little icons look pretty good to me. Do you have an example site where you think the icons look good? Cheers, Frank ------------------ Webmasters Resources www.webmasters-resources.com
