WebCMS Posted June 13 Posted June 13 (edited) Similar to this forum - https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/505-general-questions/ Every IC forum I saw so far has user icons on the right. Any ACP setting? Edited June 13 by WebCMS
WebCMS Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 Just now, Jim M said: I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you clarify? If you see this forum - https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/505-general-questions/ user icons are placed in the right column but on our forum they are placed at the left most (except Articles). How to move the user icons in forum listings to the right column?
Jim M Posted June 13 Posted June 13 This would be your custom theme. You would want to contact your theme's author.

We are not using any custom themes/skins other than some CSS for colors. From the beginning, our user icons are displayed on the left most column in topic listing. Even while using the Default theme, user icons are displayed on the left. Please clarify how come every IC forum has user icons displayed on the right in topic listing but not our’s and how to make them display on the right. Edited June 13 by WebCMS
Jim M Posted June 13 Posted June 13 This is not a functionality of the core software. You are indeed using a custom theme.

Please check out Default theme. We have not modified any topic listing templates either. I'm afraid, this is not something of the default software. You may be using a third party application/plugin doing this but it is not a part of the core software. Additionally, you may have modified the default theme. You will want to use an unmodified theme. If you do use Fluid view, you would also see the profile photo on the side. This is expected but if you're not using Fluid view (like here), you would see it on the right.
Marc Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Sorry for the confusion here. The reason you are seeing them on the left is because you are currently using fluid view. This is correct as per design. You would need modification to place them on the right as they are in the standard grid view.

You would need modification to place them on the right as they are in the standard grid view. Assuming the dimensions/width of the user icon are the same with or without fluid view, is there a reason why they are displayed on the left in fluid view only instead of default right? Ideally, there could be a config setting in ACP to display icons on right or left with a minor change in the template (some sites may like icons on the left). In tablet mode, the last posted username is not rendered on the right even though there is enough room that is wasted. Themes as we know are just colors in the front end using CSS which cannot relocate elements across tables/divs. What modifies the frontend layout is called Skin (messy terminology, color of a person's skin does not modify his physical structure/layout) using server side language templates (or maybe JS). There are no custom skins installed on our site. Just plain CSS to tweak colors that does not modify the structural layout of pages. Edited June 14 by WebCMS

Themes are CSS and PHTML (Theme Templates). Both can reposition content.
