im so sorry,
i should have mentioned that im suing version 1.2.23

but after some proper looking into the oxygen.css i saw it imports base.css to :<

im srry for bothering you... but thnx alot for ur replies. without them id prob still be clueless tongue

or at least, does anyone know where thi part that im after is defined ?

im sure that if i use the default css files it would look like it should.

so ye its pretty certain that the problem is within the css file.

and i dont know if its intended, but with my page wrapped around the forum, the forum itself is also looking in the css of my website instead of  its own. so i solved it quit messy by just adding all the things in the oxygen and oxygen_cs into my own css. this lead ofc to some weird stuff. but most of them i got rid off.

but the codes that set the proper style for the tables should still be in there as i shamelessly copied the oxygen and oxygen_cs files into mine. meaning if id del all my own css code it would get its default looks am i right?

so i wrapped my own website around the forum,
however, the tables seem to completely align to the left like this :

leaving alot of space on the right side and making it a bit messy.
now i know its taking over the css of my website 2, but even when i remove everything i added myself the problem stays.

and, if its ment to be like this ... is there a way to align everything properly ?
