I was adding the forum to my site and found out that there are 2 extra lines of html code in the inc_footer.asp file that will cause some people errors. Here is the way my screen turned out...
on line 39 and 40 ( i think ) there are two html tags...
</div>
<td>
If i remove these, the forums works fine, with these inserted my forum is all wacked. I opened up the forum and starting deleting tables that were complete 1 by one and after everything was gone, i was left with those two tags. anyone else have this problem? im adding html to the top and bottom of the forum and actually adding the forum inside a table if that makes any difference

doesn't cause me any probs, but I think others have reported the same problem.
It may be related the fact your are putting it in a table, not sure.
Will remove mine see what it does.

the extra html tags you've mentioned redbrad0 caused problems for me too when i tried to put in inside my design.
Removing them fixed it. |

i think they were added by accident, or maybe were used in the OLD code and was never removed when things were upgraded. I have not noticed one problem with these being removed and think that they should be removed in the next version

Just removed them from mine, can't see any harmful side effects.
Anyone checked under Netscape?

Those aren't the only tags that shouldn't be in the footer. Check out this topic you guys:

well i guess they did't fix it in sr2 which is when you last posted the topic. i hope they will fix it now, cause it took me a good 2 hours to figure out what my forum was getting all screwed up

I Think this is more likely to show on Netscape (4.x)... IE and sometime NS6 are more forgiving... That might be a good thing, but in fact just made the Internet very bad. And make the browser slower.

Ok I took a look at it and it seems that there are more problems then just the two extra lines of code. davio showed us the post before and i believe that this is still a issue.
lets see if i can figure out the best way to explain this....
when the code gets to the inc_footer.asp file there are no open tables, or anything. all html seems to be done right. So when the inc_footer.asp file starts it should start a brand new table, which it does after the two lines that i stated that needed to be removed. then after it closes the table properly it adds...
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
before it starts the next table. this should not be the case, it should start a brand new table. I also agree with tilttek that the new browsers are more forgiving with missing html code and usually fixes it, but not always. It looks like this has been a problem since sr2, and i guess im kinda disappointed that Mike or someone else has not fixed this yet. They locked the previous bug report which i would guess would mean that they fixed it.

And don't forget the extra </td></tr></table> after the last table (the powered by table).
Alternativly, it might be nice to put back the extra level of table that it looks like was once there, then is becomes very very easy indeed to add a left or right nav to the forum.
Instead of removing the </td></tr><tr><td> add into inc_top.asp at the very bottom
<table align="center" border="0" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td valign="top">
Then the top of inc_footer.asp should look like
</td></tr><tr><td>
instead of </td></div>
Then inserting a left or right colum simply becomes a case of adding code such as
<td width="100" valign="top"><!-- #include file="inc_nav_side.asp" --></td>
either into inc_top.asp just before the last <td> or inc_footer.asp just after the first </td> before the </tr>.
Oh, is that a stray </font> I see at the v.bottom of inc_footer.asp?

No, it's not - there is an opening one in inc_top.asp just after the <a name="top"></a> element.

<-- bump -->
The inc_footer.asp file hasn't been fixed yet. Would be good if we could get this fixed so users won't have a hard time incorporating the forums into other nested tables on thier site.
