In reply to: CODE tag and CSS FormattingI don’t know if
display: block;
would work with the code tag, but you could try that.OR…you could enclose your code in a <div> that has a background color.

In reply to: wordpress-1.5.2 summary option errorThe “summary” option is only for RSS feed readers.
If you want your main page to only show a portion of your posts, either 1) insert the
<!--more-->
tag where you want the post to break, or 2) edit your theme’s index.php to use:<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
instead of
<?php the_content(); ?>

In reply to: Loading ProblemsWhat do you mean “side links open at the bottom”?
At first glance, the site looks fine to me, both in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

In reply to: Messed up layout with WHO’S ONLINEBecause when you edited to add the usersonline code, you deleted some closing tags.
Now, without those closing tags, the ride column is placed inside the content column.
Try validating your site and see if that clears up the errors. I’m sure it would.

In reply to: Need help With warping sidebarwww.remarpro.com forums use
overflow: hidden
Basically, if you have a width set on an object, and text or images get wider than that object, it’ll hide anything that overflows ouside the boundary of that object.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Need help With warping sidebarYou could try setting a width to #commentlist
Or adding
overflow: hidden
to either #commentlist or .narrowcolumnForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Need help With warping sidebarThis problem is only happening in IE. Usually it happens when something (either in the sidebars or content) is too wide.
I suspect your comment form. Since the form is using a percentage width, IE sometimes has trouble determining the width of the bounding object before determining the percent.
Try adding this line to your css:
#commentform textarea {
width: 400px;
}

In reply to: “Clean” pop-up comment permalinksThe popup id has nothing to do with that. Spammers have automatic scripts that run based on the program you’re using. Even without the post ids showing, if they find a wordpress page (i.e. wp-comments-post.php), their little wordpress script will run, and it’ll automatically try to populate your database by accessing the page directly.
Spam Karma and Bad Behavior are good anti-spam tools that, when used together, dramatically reduce the amount of spam (auto or manual) that comes in.
Also, keeping your WP installation up to date helps keep you safer (not totally safe, but better off) from security vulnerabilities.

In index.php and/or single.php, look for something like this:

In reply to: Dreamhost Instructions vs. www.remarpro.com instructionsWhy Dreamhost is still a “recommended host” is beyond me.
Installing WP into a new directory isn’t exactly an upgrade, is it? Unless you install 1.2 in that directory, then run upgrade. All of which is pretty pointless.
Where do they find their support team?

In reply to: Inserting photos without breaking textThere are 2 ways you can do this. The quickest way is, when you insert the tag for the image, add
align="left"
oralign="right"
to the code so it looks like this:<img src="/wp-images/image.jpg" align="left" />
The other way would be to add the following to your stylesheet:
.alignleft { float: left; }
.alignright { float: right; }
Then add
class="alignleft"
orclass="alignright"
to your image tag:<img src="/wp-images/image.jpg" class="alignleft" />
