Forgive me if this has been posted before but I have searched and couldn't find the answer.
There are always one too many closing table tags on all pages. This leads me to believe that the problem is somewhere in the header or footer files. I need to sort this as I want to sandwich the forum into a new site design.
Has anyone found the problem? If you make up a basic table with a left hand margin you end up with three columns with the footer on the right hand side. Looking at the code there is a solitary td tag before it. I just can't find all the incidents that need to be changed.

Well I think I have the answer - it works anyway.
above the first table in the header add
<table><tr><td>
then in the footer under the first </div> delete the <td> tag.
Now there are an matching amount of table open and closes.
If anyone doubts me check the source from this forum and use notepads find and count both <table> and </table> and you will see there is always an extra close.
If first you don't succeed - GIVE UP! -(Homer talk) |

Well, this has been reported numerous times. And it's agreed that there are some tags that shouldn't be there. All the tags in the header are open and closed. It's in the footer file that some tags shouldn't be there. For example the </div> tag and the <td> tag you mentioned. There is no DIV tag in the entire forum so the closing div tag is not needed. And in the footer, there should be 3 complete tables in it. Because all tables are closed properly in the body of the forum. Except for a few files that have been reported that had an open <td> and <tr> tags... I think it was in the pop_profile file. Not sure.

I am sure there are an uneven total - the header and footer may well be matched but maybe it is something that is incorrect between. If you take any generated page on this forum and get the resulting source and count the number of table open and closes there are definately 1 too many closes.

Well i did. I did it for the default.asp page. I opened the source and copied the html generated header, and copied it in a text program and counted all accurences of <table, </table, <tr, </tr, <td and </td and everything matched.
I did the same for the footer and not everything matched. There were some extra closing td, tr and table tags.
I didn't go through the rest of the 56 files to check for correct html coding, but I'm sure there are a few others.

I believe the problem is actually in the inc_footer. I seem to remember someone (HuwR probably) posting that the inc_footer was formatted incorrectly. There is an extra </div> tag and the rest of the table tags are incomplete.
