[solved] Attachment layout

The vertical flow gives me vertigo.

Can the attachments can be made non-block elements and thus flow horizontally first?

Specifically it is this thread that makes me most queasy.

We could remove the attachement functionality completely and add links to opengameart, imgur, picasa, mediafire and boxnet instead...

this happens with float: left;

IMHO: not worth getting tweaked. Forum attachments are a compromise.

We could just ask that users place only the necessary attachments in the forum and use any other services for bigger or not often used files. For images, instead of placing the full image in the post, place only the links so anyone that doesn't want to see a long list of images isn't bothered by it.

I found it works quite well (for qsilver-night at least) if you set display:inline-block on ".attachbox dd", and width:100% on .attachbox so it doesn't waste all that space.
(EDIT: you might need !important for the width setting - dunno, I just played around with firebug and stylish)

There's nothing wrong with attachments.

Instead of "float:left;" try "display:inline".

EDIT: what sireus said.

Done.

Good job, sireus!
