I'm not getting any problem on those boards! {Unsure}
Re: Posting Template Again.. - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 20th Mar 08 at 1:57am
Make sure the code is at the very top of the board footers. Also, which browser are you using?
Re: Posting Template Again.. - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 20th Mar 08 at 10:56pm
i'm using FF and its the only code in the boards footer...

Edit: ok i posted a thread to show as a test:

http://deluxeanimeforum.vforums.co.uk/board/Charactorpro/action/view_topic/topic/102/page/1/#post-1206053857

i put all f's and you can see that for some reason it put two n's at the end of everything as well as it pushed everything together and didn't space the topics out..
Re: Posting Template Again.. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 20th Mar 08 at 11:00pm
oh ok. Didn't know that was the problem! {Tongue Out} It's cause some \ got removed during older versions of vF.

Could you copy the code that I posted on the 2nd page (I think) of the same thread?
Re: Posting Template Again.. - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 20th Mar 08 at 11:04pm
ah ok will do

Edit: ok that works ty {Smile}
