    My test one was here and you will see that the content (text wise) is appearing a lot more centred than on there site here

    there both being on joomla, I cant log into my test site to get the exact details

    If you validate your markup, you will find an invalid table (tr must have one or more of td or th), and a div tag that's not closed.

    You also have the xml declaration which kicks IE6 into quirks mode, making x-browser compatibility very difficult.

    Fixing these may or may not fix your problem, but if you fix them and it works, good. If you fix them and it doesn't work, that's good, too, because now you know three things that are not the problem.

    There's no point in chasing bugs until you know there are no syntax errors.

    cheers,

    Have you tried to re-upload the template, uninstall and reinstall. The template code is a little tweaked in the header. ...could be causing some of the problems I'm seeing or the template is not well done and could be causing all of the problems I'm seeing on both sites. Don't know...

    Another thing is when you FTP the site to your server... sometimes the files become jarbled &%$#& and that could be a problem.

    Good luck!
