Hey there, First. To the developer. Chyrp is killer. Thank you.

Second, I have an odd issue with, well what the topic says, tables. Being that my website, incurs MASSIVE gaps between what I've writen, and my probably poorly coded table.

this is the page in question, Any ideas WHY, this is happening? and for kicks, (and laughs for some...) Here is the aforementioned coding for the post/table in question. http://pastebin.com/2ArYBTVN

If that'll bring up any clues...

Another question, which is unrelated..IS there any nice (note; easy) way of putting up a custom header image? Or am I stuck with just text...?

The table issue could be because of the theme you're using. Not sure though.

As for the header image, find out the CSS class for the header (I believe it's just header) and then open navigate to /themes/stardust/stylesheets/screen.css. Now just search for the headers class and change what ever mentions the background to this:
background: url(URL OF YOUR BG);

Hope this helps :)

Hi Schweppes, welcome to Chyrp.

First to the table: do you have any of the three text markup modules enabled?

Second header image: you can, and first easiest way would be following The Infection's suggestion.
or edit layout/default.twig and add this
<img src="$theme.url/images/your_image.png" />
if you're image is not inside theme's directory use $site.chyrp_url instead.

I actually have all three enabled! (mostly because I saw that red line connection thingy....and I wasn't sure what they really did....)

And thank you for the quick replies/answer to the questions. :)

You should disable the ones that are connected by a red line. The red line indicates conflict between two (or more) modules.

So you either go for markdownify or textilize. Did you work out the header image thing?

I did, thank you. Infact, Everything is working properly now, after removing two of the modules, and the header image is displaying...now I just have to make a new one that is the proper size, and everything'll be perfect. Thanks again.

Another quick question, if it's an easy one to answer...Exactly what would I edit, if I'd like to resize the pages? By that I mean, Make things wider. As in, the two.."cells" where on the right, are the links, and in the center, where the actually posts are. I'd like to make where the 'pages' and 'posts' wider, well so I have more room in the center, and no so much white on the sides....if that at all makes sense.

Actually, I figured everything out. Thanks for everything! Thank you again for the help!
