Hi all youse guys. I'm having an issue with display settings. When I edit my threads theme file and the width to 780, instead of 95%, all of my pals are 780 wide. I have 2 columns, and am using the center and right side. These were set to 65% for the center column, and 35% for the wide right column.(I'm still not sure what the difference between right and wide right is.) I tried setting these to values of 507 for the center 273 for the right column, but it acts like it doesn't pick up these values for some reason. The changes are being saved as I can see them when I go back into the IIP admin panel.<br />Anyone got any ideas why it would be having as such.<br /><br />I'm still running 6.3.1.

I would bring up my browser and select all on the page and see what the browser is reporting for the width statements.

You're using a fixed table width in the threads theme file?<br />A fixed table width won't work in threads in a variety of places (the MyHome page and the Calendar page in threads are also incompatible with a fixed table width).<br /><br />If you need a fixed table width - set the theme file to "100%".<br /><br />Then in your forum's header, open a table with the width you want:<br /><br /><table width="780"><tr><td><br /><br />Then in the footer, close the table:<br /><br /></td></tr></table>

Thanks Josh. It worked great. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" />

* Today my IIP stopped working at www.calpernia.com/ubbthreads/index.php , it looks like this sometimes: <br /> []http://www.calpernia.com/images/graphics/iip531.gif[/] <br />* And like this sometimes: <br /> []http://www.calpernia.com/images/graphics/iip531_2.gif[/] <br />* It's not pulling the newsboxes or any of my custom boxes, and it's not displaying a footer at all. I have to type in the editconfigpal url manually to look at the settings (same as theyve always been) <br />* I installed IE 6 SP2 yesterday, which probably has something to do with this (Don't bother posting anti-IE rants, I hate it too, but most people use it so I want my board to show up right in it). Also, my new webhost has a lot of permissions issues with various folders, so I tired turning caching off and on, no difference that I can see. <br />* Any idears out there? =)
