Make sure the code is at the very top of the board footers. Also, which browser are you using?

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..

oh ok. Didn't know that was the problem! 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?
