If we swaped the posting colours around so that post #1 would be white and post #2 would be blue..
Maybe it would solve all this border malarky.. :)

Straight from the horse's mouth ;)
I suppose it is - but yabb seems to require manual html editing to get the actual entry pages to look a certain way - the forums are split up so the surround is one design & the content pages are another .... ::)
I'll have a think as I can see your point. Thanks

Rite, i didnt know it was like that...
I was thinking more like the php coding.. as only one file needs altering that way.....

That means that the first post for a screenshot would go from this...

Much nicer looking since we now accept ONLY THE WHITE FRAME BORDER .....

As to the original subject....
Tests were made and the color swapping causes more (visual) problems than *just* change the order of the postings.....
The quick workaround would be to create a first post (automatic blue background) with a quick abstract/story of the images and then immediately create the second post (automatic white background) WITH the images/captions, etc.
