Here is what I have been able to find so far.
If you have a style that requires you to enter a forum ID in the
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template that is the problem (at least for me)
Code:
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 178">
<else />
<tr><td class="thead" style="line-height: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="1" height="8" /></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="cat_spacer"></div>
</if>
My problem is if I enter forum ID 178 everything looks fine for a guest, (since this is the first forum they can see) But when I do this the side column is at the bottom for me since the first forum I can view is before this one..
The way I fixed it was remove the above code from the template BUT when you do this your forums will not have spaces between the categories..
Searching for a fix for that now.
