I'm having a problem with one of the templates that I'm using for the Ikonboard on my site. It's just one of the pages, and the rest are fine. This is a copy of the incorrect layout:
http://www.rollersports.ca/bad.htm
Notice how at the top of the page the image 'linksright.gif' is displayed accross the entire table row and it repeats itself causing the design of this page to look, well, like crap.
Here is a copy of one of the pages that displayes this correctly:
http://www.rollersports.ca/good.htm
I've been staring at code for hours now and would really appreciate any help on this issue.
Thanks,

An immediate difference is the non breaking space you have in the linksleft cell on the bad version, that isn't there on the good one.

I removed it, and it didn't make any difference. What else could be causing it to display like this? I thought it might be a problem with opening and closing html tags in the table, but they all have an opening and closing tag. I'm not sure what else this could be.

I still can't figure out why this page is not displaying correctly, any ideas why?

It looks like there's a float: left inline style that isn't supposed to be there; the correct page shows this:
<!-- Cgi-bot Begin Panel-->
<table cellpadding='2' cellspacing='0' border='0' align='right' valign="middle" >
<tr>
<td bgcolor="" align="right">
whereas the incorrect page shows this (same table cell):
<!-- Cgi-bot Begin Panel-->
<table cellpadding='2' cellspacing='0' border='0' width='880' style="float: right" valign='middle'>
<tr id='controlpanel'>
<td bgcolor="" style="float: left" valign='middle'>
I kind of suspect the float: left (in red), but it may be in the styles defined for the "controlpanel" row. Floating a table looks suspicious to me, too, and both pages generally feel like a not well thought over, thrown together pile of endless tables and inline styles. This is probably mostly Ikonboard's work, which would encourage me to look for another BB package.
