I've just noticed that some posts my forum members are making are "cut off" ???
 
 
where you can see the post has been cut off - sort of like it's in an IFRAME that will not accomodate the content.
 
and with no scrollers, who can read same?
 
help here guys?

This is usually coursed when you have edited the pages so that they are no longer XHTML so the browser renders the page in quirks mode instead of as XHTML.

The top line of your forums web pages needs to be:-

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">

Are you sure???
 
Other than the header file....the top of that page

  http://www.teen-terminal.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=152

is as follows --

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>

WHICH looks perfectly as it should, right? I changed nothing on that page at all....
 
So why the cutoff then?

The line needs to be the first line in the source code.

Looking at your source code for you page you have the following at the top:-
</center>
This is stopping the browser rendering the page as XHTML. Looks like you have edited some file and put this into the file which is coursing the problem.

Yes, I did have that as a residual html command to STOP the pages from being centered after showing the top bar logo etc.
 
If you visit now, you'll see that yes, all the posts now are "full length," ie none are cut off, as I've removed that </center> tag...
 
But all the posts are now <centered> themselves...ie go to --
http://www.teen-terminal.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=138 and you can see that the photos are now seen, but the posts are all centered. How do I make them all left aligned...
 
?

Just edit the css_style/default_style.css and add the following for some of the tables and the .msgBody this should prevent IE from centring elements:-

text-align: left;

Thanks so much!
 
I placed it in this area....
 
/* Forum posts */
.msgBody{
 width: 100%;
 text-align: left;
}
 
and it works fine...
 
the thing now is, that the whole site is LEFT hand aligned...ie the site is not centered anymore in the user window?
 
that I'm sure has nothing to do with the addition I just made...I think it was the deletion of the <center></center> that I made in the header.asp page....can you offer how to center the whole forum in the user window?

Try using div instead:-

<div style="align: center;">  </div>
