I mentioned the cell alignment problem in a bug report on the sourceforge site, and Toby graciously wrote back to say he's looking into it (it only appears to be a problem in 4.x Netscape, but of course that's what all my users are using :).
As a short-term workaround, I'm using a spacer gif to force the field width of the 'name' col, which seems to work as long as you also set the width of the 'message' col as well (of course, this means we're back to fixed-width tables, but Netscape doesn't seem to want to play nice otherwise). Another alternative would be to get rid of the inner table surrounding the individual messages, but then you'd lose the border around the messages (I'm also playing around with an indent routine for staggering reply messages (based on the 'original' DevNotes routine--thanks Hal!) that needs to have differing widths in the first cell). Sorry to be so long and OT, but I'm in a sharing mood today :). REM O- >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/17/02 11:24AM >>> Thanks, Patrick. It *is* a great little app and I was also facing quite a bit of tweaking due to pathing issues, but I think Toby resolved those in the version 1.0 release. At least I now have it working on both my local machine and remote site (couldn't get it working on the remote site before version 1). And in this latest version a user doesn't need to be logged in to read messages. I'm just messing around with color theme issues on it right now and looking for testers. Later, I want to work on fixing the display on the view thread page so that the table cells line up properly. Anyway, if anyone wants to give it a spin, it's at http://www.stoneridgehoa.org/forum/ (not linked into the main site yet).
