Ok I see that browser_page_encoding.inc is the file that controls it... I wanted to use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> as the doctype, but some fonts on the forum became larger... is this something that can be fixed from css file or am i really missing something? ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A.

The forum is written in XHTML which is why the forum is declared as XHTML and not HTML. If you change it to an HTML docutype then you will have formatting issues, and not just with text, as the browser will render the forum in the wrong engine. Is there any reason why you want to change it from XHTML to HTML? ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Yes, I created a floating menu on the right side of the forum page but it won't work unless I remove the XHTML doctype... it shows up, but it wouldn't float... and when I remove the doctype it works just fine. I attached a screen shot of the menu...

Have you tried removing the doctype line? Not with WWF but i had faced same problems and removed the line and worked like a charm for me. ------------- http://board.ebizbd.net/">  Tips, mods and skins for WWF v9.x

Yes that's true. but i guess you have to modify CSS. Did you also modified html tag? remove the xmls info from that tag. I guess this is the only way to use that floating menu. ------------- http://board.ebizbd.net/"> Tips, mods and skins for WWF v9.x

Well, Borg mentioned that it won't just mess up the fonts but it would cause some other issues like rendering the forum in the wrong engine.
