I am a little closer now.
In this template - ADV_GALLERY_SHOWIMAGE
i find if i delete these lines then the display works fine other than of course the missing parts...
$spacer_close
<div id="posts">$postbit</div>
$spacer_open
I dont know what i am doing here but it looks to me like its something to do with these 3 templates doing something wrong.
this does not happen on the forum itself however so i am at a loss..
please advise.
Kind regards
Carl
