That's really odd.

Usually there's something pushing it out of wack. But I don't see anything causnig it.

Have you tried refreshing the cache for IIP since you installed the table wrappers?

I'm with Josh, but the same thing started happening on my site (long after I installed the table wrappers). I'm not sure what's causing it, but I don't think it's the table wrappers (it's the same script for every table, so if it's the table wrapper it should be happening to every table).

Sorry, I didn't see it before on your site cause I had my resolution at 1600 x 1200 (I had to drop down to 1024 x 768 to see it).

OK, on my site it was the "Top Threads" PAL that was causing the display to skew. Go into your theme settings and set your table width to 90% and then left click on the save button. Then go back to your index page and take a look at it: the largest PAL box on the left side is the one causing the problem.

hmm...I had table width set to 95% and I dropped it down to 90% but it didn't help.( I like it better at 95%) Before I added the table wrappers both the left side and right side columns were the same size as the right side.

Maybe I didn't explain it very well. If you drop your width settings down to 90% (admin / theme settings) then you should be able to see one or more PAL boxes that are wider that the others. It's those PAL boxes that are making the left side bigger than the right when you have your width settings at 100%.

I really don't think it's the table wrappers since the html for every table wrapper is exactly the same, and the table wrapper uses your theme width settings so they do resize dynamicly with the page.

Check out my generic header mod for instructions on how to use the $tbopen and $tbclose variables in your generic header (works for the forum headers too).

The table wrappers look kickin' on your site, well done on installing the mod!

I think I've found a few html errors in your header. See the attached file.

Thankyou for cleaning up my html. My html skills amount to a lot of cut and pasting at the moment I added a <br /> at the end and that kept my banner box from sitting on the 'Threads nav bar.

I tried the header.tmpl but it didnt quite work.
Test Site

And my pesky left side Pal boxes keep resizing to larger by themselves..I had to enable the Top Ten Posters again then disable it to fix them.

Yup, it pretty much exploded

I'll take another look at your header and put everything into a template for you (later on today if I have time).

In the mean time take a look at the header info you posted earlier and see about putting everything into the generic header. I thought it was odd that you had a lot of html outside of, and before, the Threads generic header. Putting everthing into the generic header will make it easier to script.

You mean on the test site right? I just did that so I wouldnt lose the original. I was in a hurry so I didnt have time to make a backup.Too bad Threads doesn't give you an option for backing up the templates from the Admin Panel

Yes, try it out on the test site. Everything before the menu bar should be in the generic header.

To those of you who thought you were being clever by replacing the yourdomain.com in the tbopen and tbclose templates with dalantech.com you might want to check your web sites and edit those files...

Next time I'll replace the graphics you are stealing with something really ugly...

Thanks! I had changed mine to something like yours after I made that last post. It seems to be working except for the rewrite rule to send the offender an image:

Code
 RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|png|txt|zip)$ http://www.dalantech.com/images/stolen.gif [R,NC]

If you are blocking the display of images from their site, and want to display something else to them.... then that image needs to come from somewhere else - as you're blocking the display of images. So either another domain or somewhere on your site not htaccess protected.
