lol, you're quick, nope that made no difference.... guess its something else.

I agree with you though, IE is a pain in the ass. I just usually try my best to fight with both IE and Firefox to the death to make them both happy. I hope to god that IE7 has most of this BS fixed.

This is just another example of MS setting fire to piles of peoples time and money and people not giving a damn. I've spend 4 maybe 5 hours trying to figure out what's wrong with it and I finally said enough is enough. I really don't know why it's doing that. It's not complex markup. But for one pixel the cost to me of spending any more time on it is just not worth it. It's not perfect, it's not even good but it's passable considering the alternative.

If someone can take a crack at fixing it I'd be grateful.

Thanks.

I will waste 4 or 5 hours of my time if need be... I'll get back to you.

ok, nevermind, I found the problem... I can see why this was a bit weird to figure out....

upon examining the CSS file from IPB I noticed this on line 10:

Code:
img { vertical-align: middle; border: 0px }
This of course is setting the vertical-align property for ALL images on the entire site, including those in the header, thus overriding the valign property in the TD tag... so rather than worry about breaking anything else that isn't broken, I just went back to the header and did this for the image on the left:

Talking

Here's another bugfix, in IE you can never see the forum categories across the top of the page, and the gray border is missing. You can only see the one that you are currently in...

in the CSS file change this:

Code:
.catheadertableborder { background-color: #FFF; border: 1px solid#AAAAAA; }
to this:

Code:
.catheadertableborder { background-color: #CCC; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA; }
As far as I can tell there is no real reason why the background color should be white, so gray should be fine here, and the reason why the border is missing is because there isn't a space between the solid and the #AAAAAA in the first snippet... firefox is smart enough to read it and get on with life, IE spits it out as incorrect (which it is... lol).

Awesome, let me know if there is anything else that is pissing you off about coding, I'm also quite handy with PHP and SQL. I do websites for a living, and I'd love to be able to contribute here any way that I can!

yes, IE does suck, I just happen to use it because above all I am a slave to using whichever browser runs fastest on my computer, and that is hands down IE.... if firefox loaded/ran faster, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
