Right hand Column

It's an ie problem with the css box model. A partial work around is:

1. In header.asp, remove " padding:1em;" from the pagecontainer div. This should get rid of the bottom scroll bar.

2. In default.asp (main forum folder):
- Around line 801 is a table with a fixed width of 550px. Change it to something like 98%.
- delete any occurrence of "nowrap"

I tested this in IE at 1024x768 and it works, but the right body div will float below the left body div at lower sizes.

I won't be able to get back to this for a couple of days but a couple of things to try to get it to work properly in IE at lower viewport sizes would be:
1. Try header.asp and footer.asp on your installation. I modded the forum css file on mine which could be throwing something off.
2. Check the include files referenced in default.asp for fixed length stuff and nowrap attributes.

Hi Don,

I decided that a table based layout is the simplest with one right hand column.
Is there a simple way to also put the author details over on the right hand side of each post instead of the left?

Thanks again in advance

....ok, I'll have a go at that.

Thanks Don!

Send me a PM with links to a couple of pages that display differently.

Don't have access to code rith now, but I'd imagine that the user info cell is fixed width and the post fills in the rest of the row. Switching the order to put the post before the user info made the  user ingo appear immediately after the post - instead of the post filling out the row.
If you're using a fixed width forum, the easiest method would be to give the cell containing the post a fixed width. If you're using a floating width, it can be fixed, but I'd need to look at code.
