Hi I hope someone can help cause this is doing my head in!
The forum within on Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! is not alligned properly. If you have a look at the left hand side of the forum and compare it to the top banner, they do not line up. The right hand side looks fine.
I have tried a different theme / template to rule that out but the same thing happens.
Any ideas...? |

That's because there are no blocks on the left. You'll need to modify the themes not to expect blocks on the left. |

Checking the site with Firefox, I see numerous errors (9 critical, over 340 others).
The most likely ones you might want to check are a closing center tag (with no opening tag) a closing TD tag (with no opening tag), a missing opening TR tag, a missing closing SPAN tag etc.
You will need to check all your theme files, nuke header.php, the nuker footer.php and mainfile.php are the most likely places you have added code which needs to be corrected. |

I think a lot of the errors are caused by the missing left blocks. A quick way to test that is activate a left block and see if the errors go away. Either way, most Nuke themes (and Nuke itself) aren't designed to have no left blocks. |

Grrrr, I was hoping it was going to be something simple! 
How did you find the errors? (9 critical, over 340 others) |

With the Firefow browser just select from the toolbar menu 'View Source' (you might need the TIDY plugin, I cannot remember). |

You'll still need to check into those errors but it would be worth trying what kguske suggested and try a theme that allows left blocks to see if there is any difference. |

The table at 98% adjusts the margin on the outside of the left/right blocks... |

i see ,but i dont think you can change that...
that is cellspacing and cellpadding and sets the distance between the blocks and center content.
if you change that then it will effect the other stuff as well.
best solution is to take out right blocks . |

Looking at the source, I think the problem is the top line containing from below:
Code:</td><td> </td><td valign="top" width="100%">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#002948"><tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="8" bgcolor="#EBF5FF"><tr><td>
<center><span class="title"><strong>Breastfeeding Awareness - Support, Guidance & Resources For Breastfeeding Mums: Forums</strong></span></center></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<br><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#002948"><tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="8" bgcolor="#EBF5FF"><tr><td>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="ltr">
<head>

Does anyone know what file I would been to modify to remove the two spaces? |

Look at this screenshot....
I marked the space im talking about...
thats set in your theme...
for keeping a space between the blocks and center content...
So that space is reserved even when it shows the forums... |

Thanks for your help hitwalker...
Are we talking about the same "space"???
In the screenshot below, the red arrow is the gap I am trying to remove. If you look at the green arrow on the right, there is no gap. This is the same with both left & right blocks disabled... If you drag your mouse over the "space", there appears to be two spaces, ie

hi, well you didnt explained that very well...lol
i thought you were talking about the left space as shown on the screenshot..
but this could be easy...
first backup your files and edit the file center_right.html OR left_center.html and change from this.....
</td><td> </td><td valign="top" width="160">
to
</td><td></td><td valign="top" width="160">
backup first.. |

My discription was a a bit lame, sorry!
Ok, so... removing " " from left_center.html does correct the problem when viewing the forum, however, when viewing the rest of the site and other modules, the left hand side of the center block overlaps the left blocks.
So somewhere, the file(s) that display the forum is calling left_center.html. If I knew what that was, I could remove the reference to it and that should sort the problem... |

In addition, it looks like theme.php is what is calling left_center.html. Is there an "if" statement or similar i can use to say:
If forum, do not include left_center.html
??? |

Something like:
if ($module_name != "Forums") {
include('left_center.html');
} |

Code:if ($name=="Forums"){}
else {
//if ($name=="Gallery"){}
//else
blocks(left);
}
if ($name !='Forums') {
$tmpl_file = "themes/Freefun/left_center.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
}

The above code throws out the error: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/breastfeedingawareness.co.uk/html/themes/Freefun/theme.php on line 197"
Checked theme.php and there are only 196 lines? Checked there was no space on 197. |
