I believe this is the problem you're talking about.

^ If it's that problem (he's referring to lack of borders around the header) there is a way around it but I'll have to explain it later because you either need to change settings in your CSS, or add new CSS for that specific area (because changing the CSS might hinder your design).. which would require adding background colours and removing borders etc.
Later = in a few hours.

Okay, I did some testing. *Sometimes* the border does disappear, but most of the time I could see it. It is very likely due to the border collapse set on tables. Even if you add a border of 5px to it it will sometimes load, sometimes not load.
There is a way to get around this, however it will give a border around the 'th' in a colour you'd use as a border between the cells everywhere else. Tue, you have already seen the 'method' and after some testing it seems to be the only thing you can really do to get the posting page looking relatively okay. Technically if you're using a category header that isn't a perfect square requiring borders, you're okay, so having a border around it shouldn't be too bad.

Add the Following CSS to the end of the style sheet. Fill in the blanks ;)
Quote:
 

/* Removes border collapse, adds 1px space between the table's cells. Background needs to be whatever colour you're using for the borders. The border is optional :P (I was testing on Frostee */
table.posting {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 1px;
background: #HEX;
border: 1px solid #HEX;
}
/* removes cell borders declared at the start of the CSS by default , they're not needed anymore */
table.posting td, table.posting th {
border: 0;
}

/* removes border collapse and adds 1px cell spacing to 'Last 5 Posts' */
#topic_review{
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 1px;
padding:0px;
background: #HEX;
}

/* removes cell borders for Last 5 Posts */
#topic_review td{
border: 0;
}

/* Optional.. add a border to posting header which stays there */
table.posting thead th {
border: 1px solid #HEX;
}

See CSS notes for what each bit does.


This isn't a priority fix 'our end', though. Missing borders is something that sadly pops up on ZB, and I doubt that's going to change unless there are some drastic HTML alterations which seems very unlikely.

That's exactly what I was talking about, sorry for not being more descriptive. Thanks Nicola.
