Mysterious lines...

[Harlock]

Hoping someone can tell me where I went wrong here. I have no clue where these lines came from, they almost look like 100% width tables with a black background. Anyhow see the attached image, the "lines" in question have been surrounded in red.

look at the space tween your post and my reply.. it will show the background color of this forum.. thats what that line is

[Harlock]

I appreciate the response Merjawy. I can change the background color of my forum all day long, but those "lines" stay black. I also tried changing the background color of my main table, and still no luck. Also, they don't fill the space between posts, each line is exactly 2px in height. They really seem to be empty tables with a black border. /boggle
Any other ideas?

Just a stab in the dark, but have you made any alterations to your postbit template recently?

[Harlock]

I have Kall. I changed it back to default temporarily to see if that would resolve the issue with no luck. I appreciate your reply.

How about viewing the source code of the page and doing a search in the templates for anyhting that resembles that code?

[Merjawy]

I see a dark backgroun image on you page

and I took a look at your code comparing it to the default vb3 code in that area only
you will see the difference and you go from there


heres yours

the date/time is right below that line you're talking about on both codes

good luck

Well, it seems that removing my extra CSS attribute "border: 1px solid #000000;" from the Page Background has resolved this issue. Thanks for the assistance Merjawy & Kall, I'll buy you both a cold beer next time your in the deep south. Take care,
