left side column

[imported_Z28.com]

I have been working on a column on the left side of my site so I can add links, sponsors. Basically what I did was add a left table in the header in the admin control panel. Started the right column where the forum should generate and closed that in the footer. Everything worked fine in the homepage. Looked real nice. Technically this should work throught all the pages in my fourm.

The problem is when viewing a thread. When I went to a particular thread, it moved the thread down under the left column. If you didnt scrool the page looks empty.

Any advice on this,

Thanks

I just played around with it a little more. The homepage of the fourm works great with the left column. but everytime I go to a thread it relocates it under the left column.

I took a look at the source and it is like the showthread is generating a few lines of code to close the tables from my header before the thread. This is making the thread move under the left column I think. Now I just need to get rid of it.

Thanks

I'm dealing with the exact same problem as yourself. It's 7:15am here and I've been pulling my hair out all night trying to find a fix. Once I get some rest I'll go back to work on it.

If anyone else finds a fix PLEASE let us know.

Thanks!

Right now there is nothing to see, when install the left column it messed up the forums. For and example of what I want you can check out a friend of mines site www.F-bodytech.com. The only difference is I want my column on the left side. In the left colum I would like to put a few sponsors and a navigation menu.

Thanks

What is it you exactly would like to see, I sont want to leave it up, cause it messes the forum up.

Basicaly I made a extra table in the header on the left side and closed it in the footer.everything works fine on the home page but when you try to view a thread, it places the thread under the left column. In order to read the thread you have to scroll down under the loeft column, which isnt cool.

Just tell me what you ned to see and I can try to post it for ya,

Thanks

I just found my forum doing this, I'm sure there is a simply mistake in the postbit HTML. I will look it over tomorrow and should have a fix.

Ok, there is a problem in the postbit html but I am too lazy to find it. So to make it work do this:

add this at the very bottom of header:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%">


add this at the very top of footer:

</td>
</tr>
</table>


Good Luck,
Paul

that seemed to work, the for some reason I can get the tables to line up good though. I have had a few people complaing about having to scroll left and right. Pardon my new ness about all this, still trying to learn

here is a link to check it out

Hmm, I don't see anything wrong with it, it might be my higher resolution. Make sure all your tables are in % and not in pixels.
Good Luck,
