how do i fix my template?

on forumhome u have something like this


<tr valign="top">
<td width="160"> <<left sidebar
<td width="10"> </td> << spacer
<td> << right table

your right table is missing a closing tag or should be in a div container... you should try setting sidebar to 15% width and main forumbits table to 85%... use a better template or put everything in to css template with floating tables that can be resized
 
this is my FORUMHOME code. I dont see what your talking about

PHP:

    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <!-- end no cache headers -->
    $headinclude
    <title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

your sidebar is what is causing the problem, you can try this as a temp fix


replace:
Code:
<!-- main -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">


with
Code:
<!-- main -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" align="left" width="80%">

and u will understand what is going on

could also be u need to make the width of your random picture less ... try to only show 3-4 images in this
