Having a very strange postbit problem!! :( :( Please help!

[007]

Hi,

I am having a problem (using the postbit_legacy) where if a users post isn't longer than about 15 characters wide, the <td> that has the post info in it ends up being only about 50% of the table, while the left side, with name, avatar, etc takes up the other approximately 50%. Any longer posts are totally fine, and the tables are totally identical.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It only happens with small posts. The left <td> is specified width="150" and the right one has no width specified. This is a very strange problem. Any help would be appreciated. :speechless:

Explicitly set the main content cell to 100%, although ideally tables should not be used at all.

What do you mean tables not used at all? Is there a different way to do it? And I tried setting the main one to 100% and then it causes the left side to be crunched.

It's weird because 95% of the posts show up identical, but the super short ones, even if it:

Blah

Blah

Blah

and so forth, down for 15 lines or so, it still goofs up the display. But if someone has typed:

Blah Blah Blah long enough (about 20 characters or more)

Then it shows up fine. Does this have anything to do with how something in VB3 is coded? I would really think not, but you never know..

Blah

Edit:

Postbit looked the same here with just blah put in it. :o

:p

Edit: Post your psotbit template you use here and we can probably help you better?

I was able to fix it by putting &nbsp; 20 times in an empty part of the table. Works like nothing was ever wrong now. :)

Any chance you know how to create links that use the link color specified in the admincp? All the links I have made manually end up being displayed differently
