Preview: using it on main page (though hookworm does interesting things to it)

bug fix: I keep setting the pb_action instead of comparing it.

That problem has at times got the best of me. One time it shut down an entire forum.

I have a small problem. XD I tried this code on one of my forums (not open yet, so no worries there) and it changes the info center styling a little. Here is my forum. Would it be possible to collapse the info center borders to 1px (and include a 1px black border around the added column), retain the normal title padding, and perhaps expand the "active users in the past 24 hours" vertically to fill up the extra space?

[Wormopolis]

recopy.

[Streamstrider]

No change.

[Wormopolis]

alright.. weird.. but ok. recopy again.

[Streamstrider]

Well, the black blobs are gone, but the 2px borders remain. XD I tried a code that removes borders, and it worked to remove them, but I don't want to remove them. XD

[Wormopolis]

after this line:

nwtbl.style.height='100%';

add this one

nwtbl.cellSpacing='0';

[Streamstrider]

THANK YOU! It works. Much much much gratitude.

[Wormopolis]

not a problem

[Streamstrider]

New problem. XD The c-box is acting strange. When we insert a message, we have to reload the entire page to see it, and it resets the name section. I don't know if it's the info center code or just the c-box itself.

[Wormopolis]

I will try a new method tomorrow. Its a long day tomorrow so bear with me.

[Streamstrider]

I'm patient. No worries.
