This is a known IE bug. What happens is that when letter spacing is set the second <br> fails to render. If you have a look in Mozilla you should find that things works normally; at least they did when I tried it. I will have a look round the usual places and see if anybody has an easy fix for this.

You are right about the <br> tag and, I believe, they will be fixed for the next major release which will validate as XHTML.

EDIT.

Didn't need to look after all, just think. This is not particularly elegant as a solution but it does work.
Go to line 312 in parser.php and change it to this

$replace = array('<span style="letter-spacing:normal"><br></span>', '    ', '  ', '  ');

All this bit of code actually does is turn letter spacing off before the <br> tags are rendered and then it is turned back on again for the next line of text. You can also solve the problem using a non-breaking space but this will result in indented text.

You may have to make other adjustments in parser.php, infact wherever you see two <br> tags used. The method is the same in all cases though, just wrap them in a span which sets letter-spacing:normal.

<object> is what you would use to embed a java applet which I assume is what we are talking about.

<embed> is depracated.

I tried looking at it last night but couldn't see anything wrong though it is always worth trying removing the doctype which for some unknown reason can screw up javascript.

What I did notice is that the javascript rollovers were unnecessary as exactly the same effect i.e. text changing colour could have been done with CSS just like PunBB.

Something missing from body onload maybe? There is more chance of somebody working it out if you could post a link.

I've still got the original vinyl. Trying to get LP's to fit a cd player is a real pig though

Everything OK here today.

Unfortunately, that's the only anwer you are going to get. You have to edit main.tpl to include you own css box. You can do it in reverse if you really want to. Take a copy of your sites index page, rename it main.tpl and insert the appropriate parts of PunBB from the original main.tpl.

If you hadn't already realised, it doesn't work in IE5 windows either because the whole thing is left aligned not centered. IE5(Win) does not understand margin:auto. There are a lot more people out there using IE5(Win) than IE5(Mac).

As for the mac problem, it's an odd one. Try using the longhand for the margin settings i.e. margin-left:auto, margin-right:auto.

He is suggesting that you replace links with form buttons like the submit button. Not a good idea. CSS buttons/rollovers may be flakey but they can be added (or removed) by editing a few lines of the stylesheet if thats what the user wants. Form buttons are embedded in the markup so require editing the php files to remove them.

Some hosts won't even allow flat file databases because they hog the server too much.

You could try using descendant/contextual selectors. Put PunBB in a wrapper div with the class of "pun". Then change anything in PunBB's style sheet which is is not PunBB specific to have a prefix of .pun. For example A:link would become .pun A:link.

There may be a hidden benefit to have a stylesheet generator. It will enable the stylesheet to be optimised and therefore smaller because it will not have to be easy for less experienced users to follow.
