So I finally made the switch from a very old version of vB (3.65) to the latest - vB 3.74 and added blog support.

Any ideas on how I can fix these style issues?

Why is the sidebar stuck down in the lower left hand corner?

I had a look and <tr> and <td> are missing in few places. Try looking into header, footer and forumhome template.

Where at would they be missing at? I'm not much of a coder...

Any key locations I can use the find function to look at?

Scratch that. I fixed it sorta... now the only issue I have is the search and quicklinks buttons don't work on the homepage.

Any ideas on how to fix that? (I already tried adding /forum/ in front of the link to no avail)

<td> and <tr> are tags representing pieces of your <table>. <tr> opens a table row and </tr> closes it. <td> opens a column within a table row and </td> closes it. You'd have to go through each of the major templates, such as forumhome, header, footer, etc. Basically, it's probably going to take a bit of hunting to find what it is. Your best bet, barring finding the person who designed your style and having him redesign it, is to try to pick up a new style, or re-import this style into a test style and experiment with tweaking your code.

Try loading the page in a validator to see the errors - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0 Before doing so, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes That will allow you to see the names of the templates in your page source so it is easier to find the template with the error.

Ok well so it looks like I got those issues fixed (I opted for the reupload the style thanks). But now I'm still trying to do the quicklinks / search button fixes.

Ideas?

Search works fine on this page - http://www.xboxlivearcade.com/forum/ I can't see a Quick Links tab, so I can't comment on that.
