Is it possible for you to center the username of the user in the little info box to the left of this message ?

How much do you want to bet Yoshi will come in, saying "omfg omfg HTML restrictions, omfg". Not that I blame him, I'm just saying that it might cause the same error as with the avatars. Besides, doesn't (shouldn't) this board use PHP? huh.gif

...because most other forums I know of center avatars. Therefore, it could be done. mellow.gif

I wouldn't be much of a webmaster if I couldn't center text.

Since you don't seem to understand WHY I cant do it, please allow me to explain. This code is exactly from that area in my file:
CODE
<fieldset class='stats'>
       <legend>{$author['avatar']}</legend>
       <center> {$author['title']}<br />
       {$author['member_rank_img']}<br />
       <b>{$author['field_3']}</b></center>
{$author['member_posts']}<br />
       {$author['participationtext']} {$author['participation']}<br>

       {$author['member_points']}<br />
       Mapping Skill: {$author['field_4']}<br>
       {$author['warn_text']} {$author['warn_minus']}{$author['warn_img']}{$author['warn_add']}

       </fieldset>

More directly, we're looking at this portion:
CODE
<legend>{$author['avatar']}</legend>

Unlike most forums, I am using a frameset. Which is what renders that funkly black line around your stats and everything.

It is a "legend" and cannot be centered, because the programming is not present in HTML.

PHP is an HTML preprocessor by the way. It doesn't allow me to display more powerful things than HTML does, but it does allow me to run a website from database and update things from a central Administration panel.

Looks much better now. I've never realized that centering names could have a noticeable impact on a forum.

Sry for the misconceptions, the thing that made me highly opinionated about the avatars is that I thought mine didn't look too good (since it wasn't centered), so I spent about 30 minutes on Photoshop trying to align it so that it ends up looking centered on the forum (fullscreened window). Then, the automatic stretcher thing (in the avatar menu) started stretching the image so that the alterations I made to it are just stretched over (it thinks it's white space). So I was pissed at that.
