That kind of problem can only occur if you did not make the change in point 3 (in red).

I have checked it in IE 6, looks good to me.

I don't use the recent threads cmps module, so you'll have to figure it out.

The code remains the same, you'll probably need to add it in adv_portal_recthreads_exp_head OR adv_portal_recthreads_exp template. It would be easy, try it out.

had tested both templates but could not get this to work... on portal cmps page ...
maybe some have fix that and maybe can help ....

@veenuisthebest... ok, but i don't understand where you want change in red.

<td width="100%">

This with is for a newest table or a existing table in template, like:

<td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>

this table have specific width 9, it makes change 100%...?!!

Explain please...

veenuisthebest · #47 02-19-2009, 03:59 PM

Hello,

NO, you do not have to change that, leave it as 9. The change is in the <td> after the line of code you posted.

Find this:

<td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td><td>

And make it <td width="100%">

nrms? · #48 02-19-2009, 04:26 PM

Hoooo... yes, now i understand... And work fine.
