Page widening problems have been known to have been caused by. 1. People inserting large comments on a page 2. People inserting large "features" on their page. The site is unable to decompress additions to your page, or allow them to appear, but in a mannor that is consistant with your page. Sadly, I can't keep HauntSpace as precision as xxspace, clearly because we're so small and limited. But, we're going to go through the updates again, because I strive to make you guys happy and hey, Haunters are friggen awesome. I hate to go through this process again, because we all know what happened, but I would rather have "no site" than a site that's not the way I want it to be for all of you. The problem with this site is that it's a script that's fairly new and there are continual changes and improvements that come with it. I tend to think that the problem is that things that are placed on the site, are oversized, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. I put some stuff on my page that distorted it's appearance, and I have to be careful with banner management, because if I put a banner on the site that doesn't fit the specifications it distorts the entire site. All in all, I totally feel your pain and TRULY apologize, I want to give you everything you want. It's frustrating when we have these problems because the members on here are well worth the effort and I have a little place in my heart for all of yo. My suggestion is this. Look and see if there are parameters on what's being placed in your pages. A big script like xxspace has the advantage, because they have enough money to hire the best of coders and come up with a solution to every problem. We're limited, and I say this bowing my head in embarrassment. I only wish I had the resources to make a phone call and have someone come here and make the changes I need. I think that in time, we'll get this site running like we want it and changes with the script will allow us to have the pages the way we want them. As for me, when I get comments that distort my page, I delete them. I usually delete all of them after a month or so anyway, because I like to keep the page organized, but that's personal "habit". At the moment, we're still facing a serious problem. We have a script that has many flaws and uprading it so that it functions efficiently on a server is priority. I hope that such issues are cured by the upgrade, but we're still not out of the water. We still have to get the place running efficiently on a server, which may mean more cost. I think it's well worth it. I'm a Haunter, and everyone else on here is one too. I think we'll have HauntSpace where we want it to be in time. Just please stick with me, I'm in it for the long haul. Sorry for the HUGE explanation, it's been rough lately. Cheerio, Pete
