    Hi,

    I noticed in the topics view that the type size for the Subject and the type size for the Posted By are the same. When a user goes to click on the subject to view the post, they often click the Posted By link and get sent off the Profile instead, due to it being the same size and directly below the Subject link. Is there a way of decreasing the size of the Posted By link below the Subject link or alternately, add the Posted By link to the end of the Subject line so that users don't accidentally click on it?

    I've tried tracking down the css for the topics Posted By but it appears to be the same as the Subject css.

    Thanks

    It looks like in pre-4.3 TopicsView templates you will need to add some CSS yourself to get the topic subject and author information displayed differently. In the TopicsView-4.3.txt it looks like there are two different classes - aftb-subject for the topic subject and aftb-user for the author.

    Hi Ray,

    Thanks for the guidance.

    The problem I seem to be having is that I can style the font-size for the PostBy but each alternative row, returns to the same size. In other words, I can put a <span style tag around PostedBy but on each alternate row it reverts. I can't seem to tell from looking at the template where to change it so that the alternate row is the same as the initial row.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Ray,

    Can you repeat that last post please? It didn't go through and I'm very interested in what you had to say.

    Thanks

    Sorry about that. I think AF got confused with my post content.

    It looks like the ROWCSS token in the topicsview template is getting rendered as aftopicrow and aftopicrowalt. So, you'll need to deal with those two classes in your CSS.
