Looks like a cache problem, since the width is set to 30.

Set the width to 50
and see if that fixes it.

I had a simliar issue, I just had to up it a few px to get it to settle down and act right.

i had to set mine to like 35 px i think.

Not sure why though, only in IE. :rolleyes:

Something is wrong with one I am doing...www.forum-chat.com. Look it has the number 6> out of no where.

Just recheck the changes you have made to the template, do a search for '6">' and delete it.

put it in the wrong place -

there is an "if else" statement - the 6> is part of the statement.

reverting the templet and redoing the edits would be the easyest way to fix it . . .

What it is that it's not covering the whole bottom of the catergory

EDITTED IN:
I reverted the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and I still get the same error.

Open your FORUMHOME template, find this code and remove it:

<tr align="center">
<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="240">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

On these 2 lines:

<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="240">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

Your width value will be different to mine but you will still delete it.

Very small OPTIONAL tweak: [HowTo] Remove big space below navbar (http://www.vBulletin-Fans.com/showthread.php?t=2040) I'm getting a bit of a strange error after installing this, I'll try to install this addon and see if that makes any difference, otherwise I'll attach a screeny to show what happens.....

{Edit} Well I'm still getting the same problem, I have vBindex installed and I think the changes in the navbar template are adversely affecting this mod. Anyone else have both installed and working? :(

Does anyone know if this works on vB3 RC4? I've just finished with a custom style for my forums (still tweaking graphics and such here and there) but some of the instructions say to look for things that aren't even in the templates anymore. Please help :).

{Edit} Well I'm still getting the same problem, I have vBindex installed and I think the changes in the navbar template are adversely affecting this mod. Anyone else have both installed and working? :( Right then, attachment shows the small display error I get, I've also seen it on another board with this mod installed (This is viewed with Mozilla Firefox).

So, when logged in because the forum header has been moved to forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template the <if> statement leaves nothing to display in the <thead> tags in the table :
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>

</thead>
</table><br />

I solved the problem on my board by pulling the <thead> tags inside the <if> statement :

<if condition="$show['guest']">
<thead>
<!-- guest welcome message -->
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="6"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="6">
<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- / guest welcome message -->
</thead>
</if>


Not sure if this is the best way of doing it but it seems to work, maybe an <else> is needed instead of doing it like I did?

The problem doesn't occur when you're logged out as the welcome message is displayed in the <thead> tags and doesn't occur here because of the announcement on forumhome(I think?).

{Edit} Screenshot won't attach for some reason :( You can see the display error at TexasOutdoors' site, you need to be logged in to see it.....

Could someone help?

I can't find this code:


<!-- / guest welcome message -->
</if>
</thead>
$forumbits


anywhere in the FORUMHOME template :(.

Man WTF is up with all of this? I can't find any of that code...anywhere!...

Perform the steps in order. It only looks like that after one of the previous steps (some code is removed first)...
