Some quick 'positioning' help.
 

Now, ie xpect to fiddle with this for a long time, so i thought i may as well see if anyone has a quick solution for the positioning of a table i created for use as a side column.

This is how she looks with me placing it in the forum home. Obviously i'd prefer it show up on ever page, but i also dont want it to show in the main content area.

I'd rather it look like..

Does anyone have some simple CSS to align it like so? (Though, preferably on the right side?)

i think its the table on the right thats causing the problem. Try looking at the alignment of that

I just cant figure out how to align it horizontally, relative to where the main forum is. Using 'margin-top' is easy enough to lower it, but without the 'align="left/right" in the html it pushes everything down.

Make the whole forum into a big table. Put an invis image in a table above the left menu. Make the forum itself span across 2 columns. Make your menu a set width and then set the forum area to 100%.
