Why won't any side columns work properly in showthread?

[shibby2]

Oh trust me, I've been trying stuff non-stop, but no luck so far. Im far from a coder, but Im still trying my a$$ off.

I barely know HTML! lmao

This isn't a coder issue, it's just CSS and html - more web design. If you get familiar with firebug, then you will probably find the issue is very easy to resolve.

Think there's any way you could help me out Lynne? Seems like you probably know how to do it..

I'm desperate! lol

[Lynne]

You would need to post a link to the showthread page that isn't working and the showthread page that is working (so two different styles) in order for me to see the differences in the CSS.

Ok great, thanks Lynne!

But, it doesn't work properly in ANY showthread. I've tried it on 3 different forums.

Here's the link to showthread for my test forum:

Test Forum (showthread)

You can toggle between the 2 styles.

The style "Default" is set to 900px fixed-width. The columns are pushed to the sided and squished.

The style "tester" is set to 80% fluid-width. The columns show properly, but the posts are squished.

If you need anything else, let me know.

Thank you for ANY help you can give!

Lynne will fix you up fast, I would suggest sending her a PM with the login credentials for your test forum like you gave me. She is going to need access to the CSS and the templates.

Ok cool, will do. Thanks Max.

i think the best thing to put it in a float table <div something.

only tried it inside posts for google adsense.

about side bars, there is a mod that i have used it has the sidebar and works fine in all of the pages.
