Well, I can see them in the Administration area in WP but not in the forum. Users already move away because they think I blocked their comments.</p> <p>I actually installed bbpress because I wanted users to discuss on my page but now no one can discuss anymore lol. </p> <p>My WP installation is at <a href="http://www.webserver.com" rel="nofollow">www.webserver.com</a> and I installed bbpress on <a href="http://www.mywebserver/forum" rel="nofollow">www.mywebserver/forum</a> (example addresses)</p> <p>I installed the WP plugin "bbPress Post" and filled out all the details. Also I installed bbSync. </p> <p>At least when I write a new post the post title appears in the forum. So one good thing. But that’s all. How do users comment from my blog? I don’t want to put a link on every post "go to the forum and post there". </p> <p>I do have a custom theme by the way. </p> <p>Actually I am not an idiot but now I’m just freaking out with bbPress because it’s so complicated and most of the how-to’s don’t work or are just bad explained. Here’s an example:</p> <p>"Want a link back to the blog post? " it days in the bbSync settings. </p> <p>Well, what can I do there? There’s a field. Do I have to write YES or a special tag? :| Absolutely no explaination. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-a-host#post-16571 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 17:45:15 +0000 Guymed 16571@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am going to plug into Bluehost!

The fact that they are improperly nested (i.e. they are closed here but are not open) means they were probably improperly closed (or not closed) elsewhere.</p> <p>But, just adding the <code>style=&quot;display: block;&quot;</code> to the <strong>&lt;img&gt;</strong> tags as sambauers suggested should take care of it without you having to fix the improper code. It should look fine when you do that and replace the stylesheet reference. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gap-in-images-in-table#post-14565 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:55:49 +0000 Jessica Lares 14565@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>How are my tables messed up? They seem to be intact, I know that it doesn't validate because of the background and alignment. But I see nothing else. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gap-in-images-in-table#post-14563 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:53:47 +0000 chrishajer 14563@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>So, you changed something but it's still not fixed? The page still does not validate and the markup is still incorrect. The nested tables you have now make it even MORE difficult to fix.</p> <p>I think until you fix your markup it is going to be difficult to elicit free help. My first piece of advice is to fix the markup. In the process, you may discover why it's doing this.</p> <p>Good luck. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gap-in-images-in-table#post-14560 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:14:45 +0000 Jessica Lares 14560@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It has nothing to do with the CSS as you can see now and my tables are okay. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gap-in-images-in-table#post-14557 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 06:57:46 +0000 sambauers 14557@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think adding:<br /> <pre><code>style=&quot;display:block;&quot;</code></pre> <p>.<br /> To the images will work </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gap-in-images-in-table#post-14556 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 06:46:14 +0000 chrishajer 14556@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Which gaps are you talking about specifically? I see just one between the header and the forums, maybe. Then maybe between the top and those side images as well.</p> <p>1. Don't use tables for layout, use divs if you can.</p> <p>2. Validate your layout CSS and HTML and fix those problems first.<br /> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/" rel="nofollow">http://validator.w3.org/</a> (XHTML needs some work)<br /> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/" rel="nofollow">http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/</a> (CSS is OK)</p> <p>3. Looks like there was some cutting and pasting going on. The main problem, I think, is that there are tags for two tables there, but the top table (with this image gregjamesforum_01.jpg) is not really marked up as a table. There are no row and table data tags. So, that's invalid. Then, a new table is started below. That's why there's a gap.</p> <p>I would fix the improper markup and then put everything in one table (if you are going to continue using tables) so there is no gap between the two tables. That's why there's a gap beneath that top image right now.</p> <p>Also, there is nothing in your problem that is specific to bbPress, so you can seek support at any CSS/HTML forum as well if there's not enough help forthcoming here. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gap-in-images-in-table#post-14555 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 03:20:27 +0000 Jessica Lares 14555@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm putting together a skin for my forum and there's a huge cap in the tables and images, like I have some cellpadding issues</p> <p><a href="http://www.gregjames.org/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gregjames.org/forum/</a></p> <p>How would I go along as to fixing this? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-problems-help#post-14450 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:12:46 +0000 chrishajer 14450@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Please contact me at an email listed on the website linked to my profile here, or just google my screen name.
