Looks fine to me, mano. You're aren't using netscape, are you? It has some...issues with simple tables.

as for the globe...just follow these instructions (be creative though, i just ripped the code from the parsed HTML):

find this in Ultimate.cgi:
Code
code:

Delete it. Right below, or next to the above line is something like this:
Code
code:

change 'colspan="5"' to 'colspan="6"'.

Again, your code doesn't look like that, I used the parsed HTML.


By the way, your board would look really nice with a thin border around it (like the one here, and at my board . [Linked Image]

there is a really, really simple way to do a border but naturally, it doesn't work in netscape. So we have to do it that hard, tedious, annoying way instead.

Mine are probably a little more complicated than most, but it helps in the long run, I think.

OK, in Styles.file, add two new variables, right before "1;":
Code
code:

OK, you need to set your $TableWidth to 100% in the control panel too. This means that all your tables will be 100% of the width of the number you just set in Styles.file. Theres a catch though. Once you do all that, ALL your tables on ALL pages will be 100% of the screen size until you add a border to every one.

Thats the color of your category bar, by the way. I think it would look nice, but that's up to you.


Now I'm going to show you how to add it to....forumdisplay.cgi. After that, you can carry the same principals to any other page you want to apply it on. I chose forumdisplay.cgi because it's the simplest file, thus easy to edit.

find the first instance of this:
Code
code:

insert these things into the table tag, right before ">":
Code
code:

Now, right before the "
Code
code:

Find this about 30-40 lines down:
Code
code:

Add this after it:
Code
code:

Can you see where this is going? Basically, you just want to enclose all the tables within another table row whose background is the border color. At the end, after the last
"
" tag, add:

Code
code:

Those instructions were probably pretty bad, but I hope I helped a little. If you need any minor help, just view the source of my pages, because thats almost exactly how I did mine.

Heres how the basic format should look (not the real code):
Code
code:

Also, I just realized that your topmost table (containing image and such) would probably look pretty bad with a border. I'm sure you can figure that out later though.

Width is due to colspan..[Linked Image] you have 4 columns (pm & who's online) but your ubb has 5 or sometimes more..

errr.... i think that there is a "border color" option in the licensed ubb style settings? [Linked Image]

Also there must be two table width options; one for internal table (100%) & one for external (95%)...

As for the external/internal widths...I covered that.

To the best of my knowledge, the UBB already has bits of HTML code defined for the tables needed for the "tedious" border method, called $BorderTop and $BorderBottom ... Makes life a lot easier [Linked Image]

Oh, and yes the UBB has a BorderColor setting, but it is actually for the cell background color used in the workaround tables.

Thanks! [Linked Image]

make sure that cellspacing is set to "1" in your main table.

find this in your code:


it should look like that, unless the 100% is a variable, like "$TableWidth". Right before the ending ">", add this line:

cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"

Thats it.
