Posts no longer default to Left Justify

[BeatleGuitar]

I have checked everything I can think of, but for some inexplicable reason all my members posts are suddenly posting as "center justified" even though the post preview still shows "left justified" as it has always been.

I can force a post left by editing it......highlighting the text and hitting the left justify button, when I re-post it is left justified.

But the forum was always defaulted to left justify every post until this sudden change.

I know I must be missing something stupid, but I am new at this. I just want you to know I did look at every setting I could think of in an effort to resolve this on my own before posting here.

PLEASE HELP! My members are frustrated and so am I.

Any feedback will be totally appreciated!

What was the latest modification/s you did/undid to your forum prior to this happening?

Can you also post a link to your forum?

The last mod I did was my banner, which I changed several times, adding <center> and </center> html command where it goes, but I don't see any way that could extend itself to the post area, right?

Where did you enter that center tag? That is depricated btw and it shouldn''t be used. Anyway, your posts appear fine to me, left-aligned as it should.

P.s. A bit off topic, but I think it would be best, security-wise, if you upgraded your forum to the latest version.

Your question about the latest mod actually led me to my fix! Turns out I didn't have the / command in the last html spot where it should have been, which apparently resulted in ALL the posts after that to be centered! So thanks for helping me figure it out after all!

Question....what do you mean by this:

Also, did you see a flagrant security weakness? I was going to wait for the next release....I hadn't made time to do the 4.06 release and I was glad I didn't when I see now that it has already been replaced by 4.07

I don't want to be exposed to any strong vulnerability though! Please tell me what I should do...I completely trust and value your opinion.

Nothing seems to be centralized. Did yo solve the problem, or is it isolated to certain forums only?

He fixed it. See his post above.

Well, it is always best to stay up to dated with the latest version of everything you are using, software, hardware etc. To see what has been fixed for each version, have a look at the announcement forum as there all the fixes are declaired.

About the depricate center tags, it means that they are old fashion and won''t pass validation and therefore shouldn''t be used. Instead use this:

<div style = "text-align: center;">
<!-- Ad code here -->
</div>

Wow, that seems a lot more complicated than the old way! :) Anything I know about HTML, and it isn't much, I learned about 15 years ago in an effort to make my ebay auctions look better, before they had all the templates they have now!

I really appreciate the help from you guys...for a newbie like me, it's a life-saver!

As to the updates (now I'd be going to 4.07 I guess), I just don't trust myself to do it without messing something up. I'll definitely have to hire somebody to do it. Any ideas on that? Thanks!

Indeed, html is not what it used to be :D

About hiring someone to do the upgrade for you, there are a lot of folks here who offer paid services, myself included. Try to post here at the paid section, but make sure to read the sticky threads there before you hire anyone. Don''t just hire the first one that will offer his/her service.

Alternatively, vb offers a proffesional upgrade service as well, for 150 dollars.
