* I found this, which seems to identify the problem:
* [http://dylan.tweney.com/2005/06/14/tables-in-movable-type-entries/](http://dylan.tweney.com/2005/06/14/tables-in-movable-type-entries/)
* So basically, WordPress now behaves like Movable Type. By editing the table code
in the page I cited above — putting all the code on one line — I was able to
get rid of the white space.
* But I still need a way to fix this programmatically, since some sites I work
with have years of posts with tables in them that look just great in pre-WordPress
2.5, but will be disasters once we upgrade.

* Did anyone ever sort this out? It’s not a problem with the table being too wide;
I’ve been using tables in posts for a long time, and after upgrading to WordPress
2.5 or 2.6, all the posts with tables are now screwed up with a huge space above
the table. This is true with several themes.
* I’m just using basic code. This is an example:

* I have several clients that I’m just not upgrading to 2.5 or beyond until all
this mess gets sorted out. WordPress 2.5 and higher do horrible things to images,
tables, etc.

* I’m confused as to how you can have anything other than a single point of
reference for the uploaded files? It is a recipe for inconsistency to have multiple
file shares serving the same app (ostensibly via the same “location” from the
local point of view).
* I agree. It seems like a basic thing to me. But the network dude has his cluster
set up for load balancing with syncing every minute. He doesn’t like NFS and
thinks it creates a single point of stress (the blog we’re supporting has a huge
readership). I’m kind of flummoxed because obviously there are many WordPress
blog with huge readerships, and they must be using something like NFS so that
the WordPress admin panel will function correctly.
* What I would really like to be able to do is sketch out for this guy an ideal
configuration for hosting a WordPress blog across multiple servers.

* I’m not concerned; it’s the network guy who thinks NFS creates a single point
of failure.

to have been taken over by a mortgage site.

* Thanks, Jennie, but I’m using WordPress 1.5.2. Do you know what the similar option
is in this version?
* Thanks, David, I’ll check it out!

* XoLoX, this is what I’m entering in my post (with PHP Exec and Democracy both
activated):
*
* With that, all that happens is that the page, when published, gets screwed up
and the text content of the poll prints out along with all the tags and stuff,
like raw code. Any ideas?

* Yes, that’s why I’ve been trying RunPHP, PHPExec, and WP-Exec — those plug-ins
are designed to allow php to be run from inside a post.
* In the documentation for Democracy, the developer suggests using one of those
plug-ins to enable a Democracy poll to be placed in a post. But nothing works…

* For example: some people say DreamHost is great. But there’s another thread that
says stay away! Lots of people say Blue Host is great. But on one thread, I saw
some stuff about Blue Host that curled my toes.
* I want a reliable host who understands WordPress, has a large and friendly staff,
good tech support, and policies in place for weird stuff like what happened to
me. The ideal would be one who already hosts political and news blogs and so
is accustomed to people occasionally not being happy with how a story is reported.

* Kassad, you’re misunderstanding me. I posted my question here because I’m specifically
looking for a WordPress-friendly host. I’ve been looking at hosting solutions
for a week, but without consulting the blogger community, it’s hard to know if
a given host is really a WordPress-friendly place and a blog-friendly place.
* The reason I briefly outlined the controversy was so that people here would understand
that I’m not a sex site, a hate speech site, or anything like that. I mean, if
I were reading this forum and someone posted that their host had insisted they
remove material, I would automatically think, “geez, what was the guy posting?”
I would assume it was something illegal or nasty or libelous. Hence, I wanted
to explain clearly that my posts were not of that nature. The problem was that
my little host company was intimidated by a nutty guy.
* I’m certainly not asking anyone to weigh in on the controversy. I just want some
recommendations for good solid hosts, preferably large ones, who are friendly
to WordPress and blogging.

* Thanks for the support!
* Hmmm….I have a WordPress blog with my own domain name and theme, design, etc.
I looked at Blogger and don’t see any information about hosting something like
that. I’m not interested in a “Blogger” style blog. I just want to transfer my
existing website to a new host — but still WordPress, everything the same.
