Since a few days ago, everything in the forums is centered-the subjects, the posts, everything. Is this the browser or the site?

I haven't noticed a change. What resolution are you at? What browser are you using? Try changing both (one at a time - proper scientific methods only! ) and see if that fixes it.

Everything is centered for me also. It makes browsing very difficult. I am using IE 6 at 1024x768

Yeah, it is centered for me. I am not sure why, all the other forums sites and webpages are fine. I am using the latest release of IE 6 (6.0.2479.0006)

Also, I just tried in Netscape and the forums all load correctly. It has to be a problem with the new version of IE 6 i would guess.

Yes, it's probably the browser. I installed a new version of IE6 (6.0.2488.0001) the other day, and that's when it started.

NOOOO!!!!

I just installed the WindowsXP RC1 and it gave me the latest version of IE6 and now I have everything centered too. Has anyone found out how to fix this yet? Or is it a "live with it" type of problem?

I can't believe how annoying this is!

It's not a bug, it's a "feature".

I'm not sure if you're referring to me or not but if you are, I have already checked all my preferences and there is nothing that resembles this option. Also, it doesn't happen on any other pages or message boards. Just the ones at DVDtalk.

<b>spiderx</b> and others - including Goff have talked about this a few threads <A HREF="http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=121909" TARGET="_blank">down</a>.

Apparently IE 6 Beta 2 is either kess forgiven off questionable code or is actually correctly rendering per the HTML 4.01 specification.

Either way quite annoying and a warning to others on 5.5 and earlier not to upgrade. Or for the vB people to change their code.

vBulletin has changed their code considerably. DVD Talk is running an older (and, as far as I know, no longer maintained) version of the software. Is the problem with vBulletin-generated code or Geoff's HTML? Is this a problem on other portions of the site as well?

<b>ctyner</b>, I knew they were on version 2 and only yesterday saw a forum on their site that purports still to discuss version 1.1 but I appreciate that with your use of the package you are in a better position to say if the offending part of the program remains.

In the thread I referenced, initially the problems was ascribed to an incomplete tag that earlier versions of IE "forgave". Later Goff says it wasn't his code that was at fault and <b>spiderx</b> says
<i>tracked down what line is causing the trouble. Seems that new IE thinks that in block<b> DIV align="center"</b> all texts are centered as well if not specified otherwise.</i>
Can you do anything with that info that might assist the IE6 Beta 2 users?

It is fixed! If you keep this new forum software, this thread can be retired.
