:confused: Seriously.. I used to be able to code okay. I was never an expert.. but now I can't remember the simplest things properly. Below is the code for a page I desperately need to do. There's a large area where I need to add two more columns of content.. but can't seem to do it.. without destroying the alignment of everything else. You'll see the details in brackets and bold text. Please help.

This is a vBulletin support site. If you want help with HTML you should probably find a more suitable site.

Perhaps you could suggest one? I mean no offense.. but this one was listed as an HTML help site.. instead of a vBulletin board help site. Either way.. seems to me.. if people are helping other members with html.. it's all the same.

HTML Questions (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13)
Struggling with HTML? Netscape misbehaving? Drop in here to share your questions and answers to HTML questions.


That makes no sense since this is whats posted on the main forum page. He just figured that maybe since all types of html questions are getting asked and answered in this forum, maybe his could get answered. Looks like he is confused why no one is able to help him on this though.:)

This is a place for vBulletin license holders. These folks are very busy.

Perhaps we can help you at The Website Administrators Zone (http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/) where we offer free help on every aspect of your website?

Good luck.

Since only customers are allowed to get a constructive response, you'd expect everything to be strictly vB-only. :p

I think that was Steve's point and he made it very tactfully IMO.

What I meant was that this is the vBulletin support site and is setup specifically for the use and support of our customers. Some of our customers ask for help with HTML, hence this forum. Some non-customer also ask for help and they are not prohibited from doing so.

However this is NOT intended to be a major HTML supporrt site. There are other sites that specialize in that sort of thing which is what I was pointing out. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

The comment was perfectly clear.. which is why I asked for another suggestion as to where to go. What I said was that the listing for this forum wasn't clear.. in case that's confusing for anyone.. the listings are what you find via search engines.

Personally.. I think if you're opposed to answering the questions of non-customers.. as you find yourselves to be too 'busy'.. then only customers should be able to register.

Nonetheless.. I no longer need the assistance.. and I will not be back.
