Default vbadvanced problem in internet explorer 8
Hi guys. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue. I have vbadvanced installed on my homepage at gamerzcreed.com When I load the site with the latest version of Firefox (3.6.10) it looks fine. The modules are where they should be and there is no problem. But, when I open it up with internet explorer 8, the right sided module, the welcome block is misaligned. It moves to the left almost to the middle of the page? I haven't changed the settings for this, they are all default. So what could be going on? Some kind of bug? Here are some screenshots below: Any help would be appreciated.



Firefox


Internet explorer

I hear you... are you using "compatibility headers" on IE8? You probably should be...

BTW, it looks a totally different way on Chrome...

That's a good one - there are three cells in a table that's 100%, and two of them have width = 175 but the middle one has nothing in it. On FF it expands the center one to fill the space, on Chrome it expands the left and right cells to fill the space, and on IE, well, I'm not sure what it's doing. This is why I never went in to doing HTML...

In any case if there's something in the center cell (even just a &nbsp), it looks right in all three browsers. I think there's a module called "Custom Page Content" you can put there which will only show something if you've integrated the page with one of the vBulletin pages, so you could try putting that module in the center column (if it's not there already, that is).

"Compatibility View" is an option it asks when first installing IE... Otherwise you can click on the TOOLS button and choose "Compatibility View Settings" - Add your domain there or choose to view all sites with compatibility view...

99% of people usually enable compatibility view when installing or running ie8 for the first time. It is the recommended setting by Microsoft. I'm not sure it will solve your problem but IF you don't have it enabled then it COULD BE the issue.

Ooh Now I see. Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking too but I wasn't quite sure.

So basically what your saying is that, it's not really a "coding problem" per say, its just the way that different browsers interpret sites differently and how they are all trying to "Compensate" for that empty space that's making my front page look the way it does.

Did I get that right?
