forum home coloums are way off

[imported_cono]

i am working on a style for my default board stlye. the problem is the collums do not match? i am a total newb and need some help with this.

i also added the moderator dropdown mod and now the black that was on the catagory background disappered?

thanks for the help.

screenshot please......try making the table width a certain perrcent or width, as opposed to 100%

some of the other forums down futher into the board are way off. but here is a example.

i have some serious issuses going on with my forum home. i am trying to find the mod witch lets you centers the text of the catagories but i can find it?

[Burning_Ice]

I guess you like VB.org's style?

[Tony G]

For centered categories, use this mod:

i used that and it was still the same thing? i am going to mess around with the templates a little at a time to see if i can get it right?

[Tony G]

Should work, don't see how such a simple mod wouldn't work.

Hmm, are you editing the right code properly?

[Brad]

Its due to the fact that you have split the colums from the forum tables. there was a topic about this awhile ago lemme find it for you.

i must have used a updated txt file? it seems like this was allready done to my templates. i still have the problem, though its not as bad. my major problem is my moderators colum is way off?

you can view it at. http://www.nbguy.com/vbb/

thanks, i dont know how to work with these templates to well. i am just going by what the instructions are telling me. so i am pretty much lost when it comes to trouble shooting.

hmm that looks like you forgot to add a </td> either that or maybe you dont have the width set right...

I'm kind new to VB so I might be wrong

[imported_cono]

witch template? its worth a shot.

[Rufus69]

hmm I would think forumhome but I dont have my cp open right now.

Post your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post and forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost templates.

erm on that last post I dont see any </table> at the end

might try putting one

*posts his favorite smilie*

:_P

It got ran over by a car >_>

[imported_cono]

i dont think there is supposed to be? i tried adding the </table> at the end of the template and it really messed up the colums! but i think its in that colum. for some reason its only the moderator colum? it seems to be a double colum? i guess.

Replace your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post with:

<tr align="center">

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"

this.style.cursor='hand';"
onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='{firstaltcolor}';"
onClick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]'">
<table width="100%">

<tr>
<td valign="top"><b><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont>$forum[title]</normalfont></a></b></td>

this.style.cursor='hand';"
onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';"
onClick="window.location.href='showgroups.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'"><form><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="right" nowrap>
