I know you've got enough on Scott ....

So I'll just add another item on to the list

The gap down the left hand side seems to vary ....

Did Tricia tell you what a hard task master I am when it comes to getting it right? :)

The gap varies because the icons to the left of the text are adjusted according to the number of lines in the forum name and forum description. It looks like it's centering them accordingly.

it shows with gaps on mine just like dave's. it almost looks as if some forums are subs of others. it has that windows tree-like effect.

im using ie 6.0 on winxp pro.

the advantage of only being 800px wide .... when I narrow my view right down it comes right.

The gaps between categories are intentional.

I can't figure out why there would be width problems though. I know.... if I get rid of the gaps the width problem will most likely be fixed.

hmmmm

The "table" code is a little too complex for me to follow with all those variables but this type of thing is usually caused by stating a mix of widths by actual value and then by percentages. The usual solution I've found is to NOT state all the values.

Give that man a big cigar! :)

YAY it's fixed !!!!!!!!!!

Yeha.. like I said.. somethign with space between categories causes it... I'll need to figrue that out before adding space back in.

The columns are probably percentage based as opposed to pixel based.

Oops...you guys already figured that out. :o

But this stuff has me totally floored!

My lines are wonky.. they were done fast.. to show that it was more width than anything that we were talking about. :)
