table help

[Cloughie]

ok....

I know this should prob be posted in html but I wann get a quick reply. I am trying to install some hacks on the front page of my forums seen at http://www.wannabebigforums.com

See the bottom? Well when resized at 800x600 it just scrolls to much. I donlt want it to.. I know a SMALL part of it is the way the banner is and I can change that. But for some reason the table I am using at the bottom is making it stretch..

OK so does anyone know why..

The reason I need this sorted is I want to show top xx posters and unanswered topics but want to be able to add to it without it stretching.. I know they won't all fit on the same line but you get the idea. I want to work in a table that won't stretch within reason.

herer my custom template that shows the bottom bit

<table border="0" width="{contenttablewidth}" {tableinvisibleextra}>
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>This Months Articles</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Latest 10 Discussions</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>


<td bgcolor="ffffff" valign="top">

<table border=0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width="{contenttablewidth}" {tableinvisibleextra}>
<tr bgcolor="#F0F4F7">
