Hi all,

A user told me he couldn't read PM's. We figured out the problem only occurs when using IE - we both have IE8, not sure about other versions. I use Firefox so I hadn't noticed before ...

When you open a PM in IE, it shows the senders avatar and that's it -- no message.

It's a brand new board and I'd like to fix this before it goes public, I've set up a test account for you: user = TestGebruiker, pass = TestPM and URL = http://www.kippentuin.nl/forum/index.php

Maybe a plugin messed with a template, guess it must be something like that, but I have no idea how to figure out where to look, or for what

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

//Edit: screeny showing the problem:

Looks like there's a missing </div> tag - contact the author of the theme, or failing that, try loading the page in a WYSIWYG web page editor and it should point out the missing tag.

Play around with it until you can figure out which template needs edited.

You could run the source code of the page through the W3 validator too and it should find the error.

Thanks, I've copied the page source into http://validator.w3.org/ and it's pointing out several errors, but I can't figure out why any of them would cause this error in IE?

Hope you can help me with that, and also to explain which tempate generates that bit of code.

I could simply tell people not to use IE, but somehow I think that's just not going to work

It's quite simple; those errors cause IE to do that. Because all the div containers aren't closed properly, it causes the footer to jump into the middle of the PM area.

If you view the source of your webpage, you'll see tags with the names of the templates and where they start/finish. Simply find where the error comes from, then amend that template.

It might be a problem with N.Design, I'll look into it.

Thank you!!

Posted an updated version on my website. Thanks for pointing out the issue Marti.
