i cant see why from the code you gave. maybe something to do with your footer, try removing the code and disabling the product and see if your footer corrects itself to where it should be. let me know hpw you get on

I did that several times, and it does. As soon as I remove the code, it goes back into place, and as soon as I put the code back, it moves to the right. I don't think it's this hack tho.

I uninstalled this one and installed another side column hack and it does the same thing. So odd. :erm:

I don't know anything about coding - I've installed this add-on, but don't know how to add actual LINKS into the column. Right now my forumhome_sidecolumn_left looks like this:

<tr>
<td class="thead">
NEW!
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
ONLINE CHAT
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
IceDogFANS.com
</td>
</tr>

And I'd like to have the "IceDogFANS.com" go to http://www.icedogfans.com (obviously)
and I'd like to have the "ONLINE CHAT" be linked to: http://forum.icedogfans.com/misc.php?do=flashchat

What lines do I need to edit and what tags need to be wrapped around those links?

Sorry for the very basic question....

[z0diac]

Nevermind! I think I've got it....

<tr>
<td class="thead">
NEW!
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<a href="http://forum.icedogfans.com/misc.php?do=flashchat">ONLINE CHAT!</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<a href="http://www.icedogfans.com">IceDogFANS.com</a>
</td>
</tr>

And working fine on 3.6.7.
Took me a little while to figure out how to actually get info into the boxes, but all's good now.
Thanks.
