Bear with us, with the new release, and the site overhaul, it might be a day before everyone can settle down and assist with day to day issues.

Allrighty. No problemo. I don’t need immediate help with this anyway. Just kinda weird why the index page is all screwed up and the other pages aren’t, especially since the index page is the place where all the data gets inserted.
I recommend that you start by fixing the validation errors in your XHTML and CSS code.

Bringing your code up to standards may fix the issues that you are seeing. Or, at the very least, it will make your code significantly easier to troubleshoot.

even with some invalid xhtml issues (most of which are just images without the “alt” tags) i shouldn’t be getting such drastic errors with having more than one post on a page should i? i do agree about having valid code, but the invalid code doesn’t seem to cause such a big problem. i could, and probably am, wrong about this but seems a bit drastic don’t you think?

but i will look at getting those fixed first thing tomorrow and do thank you for your help:)
You do have a few structurally related XHTML validation errors which could be causing this. And, your invalid “-50px” value for the padding of #side in your CSS is very suspicious.

thank you. i’ll look into it now. the only reason i mentioned that i didn’t think some of that mattered as abc.com and google.com both have errors when running them through the same tests. so i don’t think that those validators are all that accurate at times.

Well I changed a bunch of code around and have waaaay less errors. But still am getting that weirdness on the index.php page.
Any other ideas? The errors that I am getting now I don’t think would be causing this. Plus some of them seem a little ridiculous. A simple “<br>” tag wouldn’t be causing all these problems would they?

I fixed it. I just ended up using tables instead of divs. I’m not a huge <div> fan and what I was doing was somewhat complicated. At least with tables the site is more more solid.
