hey thanks cold, I downloaded the theme of of sddesign I believe which should be set for platinum, or at least all of there themes I believed were.

so the problem is view_topic body. alright thanks I'll look at it.

Yeah the poster's info should vbe on the left with amount of post etc and the thread should be next to it going towards the right side of the page like the forums look like here.

any suggestions as far as the line or code I should look for??
