Horizontal Postbit

If you installed this mod and/or you want get support, please "Mark as Installed".


Horizontal postbit style was default in vB3.
In vB4 the old vertical style postbit returned to be default and the use in the horizontal style gradually decreased.
Decreased so much that vB5 team decided not include it even as an option.

And still, I believe that there are people that would want the horizontal style.

How to install:

Download the attachment
Upload the content of 'upload_to_root' directory to your root
Make sure that Plugin/Hook System is enabled, it is disabled by default.
Reload your site (twice) - this mod uses the Auto-Install feature.

Auto-Install it's a feature that allows vB5 install addons automatically after all files uploaded.
There is no need to upload xml manually anymore.

-----

Notes:

Make sure the mod enabled in vb options page.
This mod doesn't creates new template for the horizontal style as it was in vB3 and vB4. I used only css to make the changes.
Compatible with responsive style.

Since I used responsive css, I don't know how IE8 will handle that. Let me know if there are problems.
