View Full Version : wow, very strange problem out of the blue

This is very very odd, strange. My site www.talkjesus.com (http://www.talkjesus.com) all of a sudden has this padding (horizontal / vertical) around the main body, any page. For example, notice the logo? The purplish background is the padding area that should not be there. The white should go all the way to the sides and the logo/header should be up to corners, no padding or margin or spacing of any kind.

Even worst, IE8 is missing the header background color.

I confirmed this is an actual problem, not just me (cleared cached). Confirmed even via browsershots.org / http://browsershots.org/http://www.talkjesus.com/

Here's the freaky part:

- absolutely no style changes were made at all
- absolutely no new plugins were installed, removed, modified at all.

Nothing was modified in any shape or way at all in the forums admincp or any external css outside the admin panel. Plus, I am the only admin with access to the backend and server. Nothing has been modified in weeks.

I confirmed this in IE, Firefox and Chrome.

Can anyone solve this mystery? I'm baffled.

You should have your margin set to 0 for your body tag if you want it to have no margin.

But why would this happen out of the blue? And the IE missing background problem??? It was never like this and worked just fine.

My css (inside admincp > styles) is this for the header

.header_bg {
background:#9296d3 url(images/element/misc/header_bg.gif);
}

For some odd reason, IE is not displaying it at all.

I have no idea. I'd check the error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host) and see if there is a clue there.

Wow, fixed it. Very odd.

It was a missing " symbol at the end of the font style line right before the header portion.

Thanks :)
