    A mate has asked me to have a look at his new hobby as he is having problems with the forum layout..... if you look at wiispace.co.uk and compare to forum.wiispace.co.uk you will see they both work fine in FireFox but in all versions of IE the forum is left aligning etc, can anyone spot the cause of the problem?

    Cheers

    Find this
    
body {
	text-align:left;
 }
    Code (markup):
    ...then change it to
    
body {
	text-align:center;
 }
    Code (markup):

    Thanks for the suggestion, will try it later when I have a few minutes spare but given that is in a common CSS file that is present in both the forum sub domain and the main site I am surprised it would be causing the issue given that it works fine in IE in one and not the other.

    You will never get IE to attempt to perform like modern browsers without a proper doctype. The second page has none and puts IE into quirks mode.
