Title: Table/HTML problem
Post by: affliction on June 04, 2008, 08:34:40 PM
No matter what I do, I cannot figure this one out. I even make sure I have end tags.

When I create a table it puts ALOT of spaces above it and puts the table at the bottom example:

Title box here









All of this space for no reason









Table
--------------

Not only that but when I enter the <br> code into the other side of the page to make words single spaced, it automatically double spaces everything. I want the lists on my site to be single spaced, how do I fix that. I tried using the WSIWYG editor for making it a list, it still double spaces everything.

I even tried using the predetermined templates.

My next question is this, I would like to have a link in the menu to the forum so that its on its own page with the side blocks on each side. Right now its on the front page. I noticed you guys did that here, how did ya do it?

my url is www.affilictiongarona.com 

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

My main suggestion is that you use a scriptbox instead of an html+BBC box if you want to use html.

If you do that and still need help, please post your code.

Look to the Frontpage settings.

I will try the scriptbox idea.

As far as the front page settings there is nothing to change, it just changes how its all layed out.

Script box did indeed fix my double spacing problem, thanks, it however didn't fix the table problem. The tables seem to 'sit outside' of the box.

nvm it fixed both!   I was putting <html> when I didn't need too...

I am still curious, however, how they made a seperate forum url on their menu and didn't include the forum on the front page, but made it a page all its own.

Look to the setting that says:

What to display on front page:

From what you're describing, it appears that you have it set to

Go directly to forum index

If so, set it to something else. If not, please start a new topic to discuss it, because it's easier to deal with one issue per topic.
