Help my side column has broken!
Can anyone have a look at my forumhome page and tell me if they see anything amiss with the code. I had a right hand column with ads on it, but after moving a couple of the banners today I've broken it somehow and can't seem to fix it, I'm guessing it was something pretty dumb.
See http://ajarnforum.net/vb/ to see what I mean...all the ads from the right column are now stuck at the bottom above the footer. I really urgently need to get that column working again as there are paid sponsors on there.
I played with banners in three templates...can anybody have a look at it for me?

--------------- Added [DATE]1194887081[/DATE] at [TIME]1194887081[/TIME] ---------------
sorry to bump so early, but just to note I have now disabled to the side column mod as it looks horrible....I conferred with a fellow Vbulletin admin who thinks it's the tables in Forumhome, but we just can't pinpoint what it is....IMO it is very unlikely to be too far below where the banner ad code is on that template as that's all I played with earlier tonight. |
