I don't quite understand what you are attempting to accomplish. :confused:

I posted about this before as well. I think he means that he has an extra 'Forums, Posts, Thread, Last Post etc' line in there.

It's happening to me when I go to a forum off the main page that has sub-forums and a category. It should the heading, then the category strip, then the headings again, then the sub-forums. I can get it to go away, but then forums with sub-forums without a category strip don't show up with any heading. (And if you understood that...:D Sorry, hard to explain).

@exoticcarforums: Have you made any template / file changes that you think might have affected this?

[exoticcarforums]

I impliment different hacks everyday... If you check out the front of

http://www.exoticcarforums.com, it is pretty obvious that right under the banner, there is a real random strip.

I would check your forumhome and/or forum display templates for that code and test it by commenting out. Maybe try going to your templates and search for Last Post to find all the occurences of the code. You have an extra in there somewhere, I would suspect.

If you did that template mod to move those headings under the category, I'd go back over those directions and make sure you deleted all the code you were supposed to :)

I am a bit computer illiterate, think you could do me the hugest favor and go over them for me? I can have you sponsor one of the forums for a week (good traffic!)

Open your forumhome template and make sure you have removed:

<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor=""#C1D7F4" background="images/head_bg.gif""><smallfont>&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor=""#C1D7F4" background="images/head_bg.gif"" width="80%" align="left"><smallfont color="#000000"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor=""#C1D7F4" background="images/head_bg.gif""><smallfont color="#000000"><b>Posts</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor=""#C1D7F4" background="images/head_bg.gif""><smallfont color="#000000"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor=""#C1D7F4" background="images/head_bg.gif"" nowrap><smallfont color="#000000"><b>Last Post</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor=""#C1D7F4" background="images/head_bg.gif"" width="20%"><smallfont color="#000000"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>


That should do it for you :).

It works!!! however, there is still a bar, i change the coding to take the bar out, the perimeter of my site- there is no limit- it expands to the sides!

<!-- main -->
<B><table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr align="center"><?B>
$forumbits
</table>
</td></tr></table><br>

Your forums seem to be down, so I can't take a look at it. I'll try and help out when I am able to see it again :)

[Cassandra Cain]

I hope you don't mind I made a screenshot of your forum home page since I think I had to register to see them :)

I'm not sure what problem you're having - is it the line at the top? Or did you get it fixed?

And fyi in the code you posted:


<tr align="center"><?B>
$forumbits


Note the ? instead of / before the B :)

EDIT:

Okay, I'm not sure if this will help (since I'm not sure of the problem), but here's that bit of code from my forumhome:


<!-- main -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center">
<tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
$forumbits
</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
