I am using the black pearl theme on my phpbb3 forum. I am having lots of trouble trying to center the forum. I have gone through a lot of topics on here and google but can't seem to find a solution that will work.

I am using width 960px but the forum is not perfectly centered.

Any help in centering the forum would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Posse, welcome to IcyPhoenix,

Can you provide a link so we can take a look if we can see why this is happening?
Black Pearl is usually centered by default.

looks to me more like a browser problem.

which browser are you using ?

Looks to me like the opening body tag is missing Spydie, but I'm not even sure I'm looking at the actual forum yet

I've tried viewing in 3 browsers and it all looks centered to me (chrome, IE9 and FF nightly)

Heheheheh, rest assured ... I'm no member there

Just did a little tracing

PS don't forget ...I still think you have a missing opening body tag in your overall header

Not very well-versed with that Joshua, what do you mean by the missing body tag?

Appreciate the help.

P.S. What did you trace?

Your overall_header.html now contains something like this:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

</head>

<a name="top"></a>

and it should be:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

</head>

<body class="ltr">

<a name="top"></a>

Off Topic
:
By using your private profile info
(which is why I did not post the full url to your board, that would be upto you )

You also need to move this above the </head> tag, because that's probably why the <body> tag was removed to make it work?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

Well if that is the case at the portal Mort (and it IS .. probably in portal_body.html) , I think it would be better to move that into the stylesheet?

I totally agree, if posse knows how to do that.

Thanks guys, I will look into that, I do have a buddy who helps me with this, he can prolly make sense of this.

Well in that case I'll stop trying to take this step by step.

You have a few more errors:

- the "buy admin" link in menu_block.html needs work (you can't use "&" like that in that file)
- in overall_header.html you should replace:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

alt='site_logo'/></a>

with:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

alt="site_logo" /></a>

or if you don't want the alt there:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

alt="" /></a>

- in overall_footer.html you should also replace the "&" character between "Dave Polaris & Welby" (not so important but still a small error

)

I'm not going to get into this about ' and " and the space in front of the />

But for html & is either "and" or & and preferably & should be used for the short version when you use &.
