Tip: Comments in a bubble with arrow

[SweetPotato]

A while back Fred asked Does anyone know how to change the ACTIVITY FEED Layout ?which was asking how to put activity feed items into a 'bubble'.

Between Peter Sorenson(thanks to you, sir) and I, we came up with a solution.

Using the best of both our code I've today added this to blog, video, wall, event and photo comments/replies (see blog, see video, see wallexamples).

One thing I've not tested thoroughly is what this does in forum replies because i don't use the forum extensively - the bolded code is what i think will work with forums but you might need to remove/amend.

Simply put the attached bubble.txt code in your css box and amend where needed:

Let me know how you get on. I've also added this to my first theme in the Themes Group.

Unfortunately, I had to remove it - we put a lot of pictures in comments on profiles and it cuts off the sides:(

Hi SP,

I tried the codes but it seems to be having any effect on my network. Any tips for me?

Thank you.

Cheers
