Having a very strange postbit problem!! :( :( Please help!

[007]

Hi,

I am having a problem (using the postbit_legacy) where if a users post isn't longer than about 15 characters wide, the <td> that has the post info in it ends up being only about 50% of the table, while the left side, with name, avatar, etc takes up the other approximately 50%. Any longer posts are totally fine, and the tables are totally identical.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It only happens with small posts. The left <td> is specified width="150" and the right one has no width specified. This is a very strange problem. Any help would be appreciated. :speechless:

Explicitly set the main content cell to 100%, although ideally tables should not be used at all.

What do you mean tables not used at all? Is there a different way to do it? And I tried setting the main one to 100% and then it causes the left side to be crunched.

It's weird because 95% of the posts show up identical, but the super short ones, even if it:

Blah

Blah

Blah

and so forth, down for 15 lines or so, it still goofs up the display. But if someone has typed:

Blah Blah Blah long enough (about 20 characters or more)

Then it shows up fine. Does this have anything to do with how something in VB3 is coded? I would really think not, but you never know..

Blah

Edit:

Postbit looked the same here with just blah put in it.



Edit: Post your psotbit template you use here and we can probably help you better?

I was able to fix it by putting &nbsp; 20 times in an empty part of the table. Works like nothing was ever wrong now.

Any chance you know how to create links that use the link color specified in the admincp? All the links I have made manually end up being displayed differently
