[quote author=ober link=topic=122593.msg506021#msg506021 date=1168956981] We are not using the Ad Management Mod to do this.  It is a hack and it will not be changed.  We can use clear:both in the style sheet to get around code blocks, but tables like the one you setup won't clear the ad.  [/quote] I didn't set up that table. that is someone else's post. If you are truly interested in helping people then you might want to rethink the ad sizes since this is a hack. as it really does interefere with the abilitiy for someone else that is looking for a similar answer. especially if they can't see all the info to verify if their problem is the same as shown. Personally I don't care if you don't want to remove it, I was merely making a suggestion to help the members and guests be able to utilize the info that is on the forums a little better. [quote]The ad blocks are fixed. Ober and I added a width to the CSS style that eric had put in, and it wrapped everything to that width, including tables. This should address a majority of the issues concerning the ads covering text.[/quote] was this before or after I made the suggestion? I clicked on the link you provided, using FF2.0.0.1 and the post is the same as the image I posted in my original post on this topic.

[quote author=Nameless12 link=topic=122599.msg505827#msg505827 date=1168923030] the answer to this is triggers if i understand you correctly I dont have time to explain them just do a wikipedia search and you should understand them fine [/quote] now we run into a problem. The triggers work on MySQL version 5.0.2 and up, the server that this will be going onto still runs MySQL version 4.1.21 and I have no control or way to make them upgrade the version. Therefore I need a way to do this that doesn't require triggers. Is it possible to make a PHP file do this?

hi gang, If this is posted in the wrong area, would a Mod please move it to the correct area. hopefully someone can help me out here. not sure if this is strictly MySQL queries or if it is handled strictly in the PHP code. This is what I got going on. I'm making a website with PHP and MySQL where up to 3 different bidders can bid on the same project. here is my basic layout. table1                            table2                                table3 bidders                          customers                        bidder, customer, price ok now table1 and table2 will already exist, what I plan on doing is using PHP to allow the bidder to place a bid on the customers project. Upon clicking on a submit button in the PHP file, table3 will have bidderName, customerName and bidPrice inserted into it. The PHP code will already be calling the information from table2 and upon the bidder placing his/her bid, their info will be pulled from table1, then combined with table2, to create table3 info. so that the printout would look like this. I know the columns in table3 will be bidderName customerName bidPrice bidderName place a bid on customerName project for bidPrice. I know it won't look like this on the actual printout. It will look as follows bidder: bidderName project: customerName price: $x.xx I hope your not lost on this. i am also wondering if there is a way to automatically remove the customerName after 3 bidders have placed their bids.

I see you are using the AD mod for the forums, I use it on mine also, however their is a reason I don't put them in the posts. The ads have a tendency to put themselves over the discussion resulting in the inability to read the entire discussion. wouldn't having the ad placement at the top and bottom of the topics be sufficient? I have included a screenshot of what I am saying so you can see what i mean. Thanks. [attachment deleted by admin]
