what I posted worked on your site. you may not have implemented it correctly.

Schryvers

I have implented into my custom.css!

Did you look at my forum what i mean with that hover thing?

Bleistivt

Add

a.CategoryPhoto{position:static;}

The custom.css and custom_forest.css has a weird rule, which should never be applied to all elements in my opinion:

*{position:relative}

This is exactly why you should contact the theme author about something like that or pay someone as @peregrine already said. The community can't support every theme, especially themes that are closed-source.

try changing

'class' => "ProfilePhotoSmall")); to 'class' => "CategoryPhoto")); on the image line.

You need to add the z index to the link not to the photo or the link will hide behind the photo and won't be clickable.

Another thing , float left also makes it not show the pointer when hovering because the link is all the way to the left. Don't use padding to move something, use margin and positioning. Floats will affect hovers.

    ul.Discussions li img {
    height: 53px;
    width: 43px;
    margin-left: 0;
    position: relative;
    }

.Discussion.ItemContent {
margin-left: 55px;
}

You will likely need to adjust other things as well.

just for grins try this first and see if it works. then if it doesn't I surrender to others, who actually have your theme or those who want to pursue from afar.

Did this, nothing happen.

Did the static thing from @bleistivt nothing happen.

Did changes of @vrijvlinder, worked, but look http://www.tattootalk.nl they are not in the good spot anymore. I think perhaps @Vrijvlinder the css master could fix this thingy in a split second....

peregrine

@Vrijvlinder the css master could fix this thingy in a split second....

of course. that goes without saying.

But, I would prefer you to experiment and learn yourself.

vrijvlinder

You need to change this to margin like below instead of padding

.Discussion.ItemContent {
margin-left: 55px;
}

yak-shaving at its best. 3 yak-shavers, and one forewoman.

vrijvlinder

Yes indeed !! I ordered my Yak from a catalogue http://www.alpacasllamaswoodsedge.com/tibetan-yaks.php

one of those times - when a person wished they never wrote a plugin or suggested code. since it has gone so far afield into proprietary themes.

vrijvlinder

Well I think it is a great idea for a plugin , sure beats my Valentine's plugin .... lol

Schryvers

Everything i do mess it up more!!!!

@vrijvlinder,

did the change

.Discussion.ItemContent {
margin-left: 55px;
}

But nothing happen, if i change the 55 it gets messed up

vrijvlinder

It looks like nothing happens but when you hover the link it shows the pointer in the right place. The code is not meant to change but to correct . When you add padding , it only makes that larger, take more space. You are not moving it you are making it wider and larger. Margin is to position and to separate. Here is some info for you to look at.

this may also prove helpful relating to your theme, maybe not.

@Schryvers

the continuing saga:

change caticon.css to this. see how you like it.

het is niet al te slecht . Ik vind het leuk

ul.Discussions li img.CategoryPhoto {
float: left;
}
.Discussions .CategoryPhoto {
left: -45px;
position: relative;
}
.Discussions .DataList .Item {
margin-left: 35px;
}

P if you do that then it makes every image that you want to put there like discussion image or even the tooltip float to the left you really need to use the class if that's the image that you're targeting, otherwise every other plug-in that it's an image on there is screwed

Don't give him any more ideas about plugins, but It is isolated now. ¿ no ?

If things get boring, we can give @Schryvers all kinds of suggestions, eventually he'll tire out

vrijvlinder

Yes, when things are boring I feel like replying to spam ....
