This is a problem that may not affect all users, depending on the context layout the forums are in, for example, I always use WWF pretty much like Web Wiz web page, navigation links on left and top, stuff at the bottom and the forums tighly integrate the main content area seamlessly.

With this layout, if you go the the members list page (members.asp) and click on a letter to show members starting by that letter and there's no members to show, the HTML in members.asp is wrong and it will disformat the page towards the end. (Issue not detected with original header.asp and footer.asp because the full width white space created by this problem is not noticible with this files. Maybe if you change BGR to black.)

To solve this problem, and I first identified it in WWF v6.34, you need to open members.asp, do a search for ('Loop back round - only 1 exists) and after the End If you will see:

        </table>
      </tr>
     </table>
     </td>
    </tr>
   </table>

Copy it and this should be placed inside the If condition just after Next 2/3 lines above where it originally was, you'll need to place this <% ... %>:

%>
        </table>
      </tr>
     </table>
     </td>
    </tr>
   </table>
<%

So that the HTML is isolated from ASP code, that's all, it will now show a message saying it found no results and it will not disformat the page layout.

You can't replicate the problem in this page or if you have a large member list that includes member names using all letters in the alphabet.

I found xx's problems with the HTML of this forums, tags not closed, messy identation and futureless thinking, what I mean by this is that say for instances last night I was doing some work and noticed you have created a style for the <HR>, so that everytime you need a horizontal ruler it will be formatted accordingly to the style, but, what about if you need different types of HR's? You should've created a CSS class (.hr) as opposed to the (hr) only, with a class you can still use it and not change all HR's in the page that could be miles away from forum pages. I even found variables mispelled on creation, then I thought OMG, and I went searching on all files to see if the variables were beeing used correctly spelled or mispelled, luckily they were beeing used mispelled also, so no problem there.

I don't mind volunteering to clean up all HTML files in this forums and provide proper identation and spellchecking of all files (including comments), but you guys need to give me the full latest alpha version and don't work on it until I give you back all the files updated (3/4 days), so that the next release could be different, are you guys interested?

Thanks I'll look into correcting the file.
