HELP!! How can I get a border around the forums??

[DjSao]

TechTalk, is there any chance you could post the html in your templates, because when try to add the border i get doublethick borders on a couple of places, what i need is to see the html of your forumdisplay and showthread. Any chance of you posting them somewhere?

showthread uses an extra table that it doesn't need, you just have to fix up the HTML a bit. My templates are almost completely dif than the originals, so now I can understand the HTML better, you just need to clean up the HTML, takes a while though

OK in all the templates all you have to do is add another table around the existing one.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr bgcolor="#000000">
<td>

<!--THE EXISTING VB TABLE IS HERE -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>

You have to know basic html to make this work. If you dont then (i hate to be so blunt) but you need to learn it. All you are doing is taking an existing table that has a cellspacing of 4 and a cellpadding of 1 and adding another table around it with a black background. Since the top table has a cellspacing of 4 the black will show thru from the underlying table thus making a border around all the cells in the existing table.

Thanks for yor answer.
I will follow your suggestion and study something about html. I think anyway that I could change, with appropriate instructions, something in VB simply copying (or changing) the right code in the right point of one template.
