Alright. I feel like an idiot. I've never had to come ask for coding help...let alone two in two days. But for some odd reason, my entire forum loads correctly and then just shifts over to the left and the background color goes away. I'm not sure why. Just went to the page and it started doing it. Maybe it's only doing it for me, but I don't think so. Any ideas why?

Update: Used some never before necessary center codes around forum border to get forum border to stay centered. But, background still turns white and actual forum content will not stay centered.

We all have our good times and bad times with coding. Don't ever feel bad about asking for help. Otherwise, I'd be bored if no one came to visit. lol
I'm looking at your site now. Have you seen it in IE? Wow, it is spread out all over the place. Not good at all but easy fix. In Chrome I see it doing some resizing and then it seems to settle down for me. I'm seeing a gray background and I don't think I see it disappearing, unless I'm not understanding. However, we can fix it all. Feel free to save your global headers to notepad if it makes you nervous to do all this. (You should always do that anyway when editing anything)
First in your headers, you should set the border around the forum to be the exact width you want it. So 1050px because that is the size of your banner like I did in the first width only:
document.write('<table width="1050px" cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" ....more code here...
Now using your main banner in there like you did for the first image isn't a good idea since it would look nicer if the border showing around the forum body was the same what you have for your banner. Therefore, I'd make that first image slot blank...
var hi = ""; var mi = "http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8539/cataclysm3.png"; var bi = "http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6140/cataclysm4.png";
...instead, right above your border around the forum code put your image. So this....
<center><img src="http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8539/cataclysm3.png" /></center>
I would also add this to the very top of your global header:
<script> // Resize the welcome table - can be % or a number of pixels document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width='650px'; </script>
Next, at the very beginning of your side tables change or add to yours what I have below in blue:
<!-- =================================== HTML Left Side Tables for ProBoards - Smangii Style GLOBAL HEADERS =================================== //-->
<!-- Start Main Table //--> <table align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="0px" style="padding:0px 10px 10px 10px;"> <tr>
<td align="center" width="345px" vAlign="top" align="center"> <!-- Start Side Tables //--> <table width="100%" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" valign="top" style="padding-left: 6px;">
We aren't done yet but while we are in the global headers, the part that is messing up in IE is the "In the winners" side box. Replace what you have with this:
<table align="center" width="100%" class="bordercolor" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="windowbg" align="center" width="100%">
<img src="http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6982/header2dc.png"> <div style="width: 340px;text-align:left;"> <img src="http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/7862/threadyl.png" style="float:left;"> <img src="http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/952/malewolf.png" style="float:left;"> <img src="http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1374/femalepl.png" style="float:right;"> <img src="http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/3690/coupleqh.png" style="float:left;"> <img src="http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4774/couplel.png" style="float:left;"> <img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7766/femalep.png" style="float:left;"> <img src="http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/9951/maleka.png" style="float:left;"> <img src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/144/memberjq.png" style="float:right;"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </br>
Lastly, in your global footers, you have two forum resize codes that come with the side tables and they both have different widths. Remove one and make sure the remaining one has 650px like I have below in blue:
<!-- SIDE TABLES GLOBAL FOOTERS - DO NOT REMOVE //--> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- table = document.getElementsByTagName('table'); for(i = 0; i < table.length; i ++) { with(table) { if(width == '92%') { width = '650px'; }}} //--> </script> </td></tr></table> <!-- SIDE TABLES GLOBAL FOOTERS - DO NOT REMOVE //-->
Also, I looked and I don't see the closing part of the border around the forum in your footers but maybe I missed it. It does appear to close before the ads so I probably missed it. Oh, it might be the second side table closing you have so you definitely need the closing border code but I'm not sure if you can find it since Slightly Insane seems to gone V5. If you can't find the closing leave the red part above in your footers.
I think that should fix everything but let me know if something still isn't right.

I've noticed a lot of v4 forums doing this as I've been advertising. Background just going white. Or uncentering. Or doing random things after it says it's finished loading. Not sure. I've used this coding setup forever and just one day logged in and it was doing it. I'll go through what you have and see if it fixes it. lol.
Update: In fact...I just logged in and everything is fine. I have no idea. Still going to try what you have for consistency.
Update #2: Background still going white. Forum uncentering like I've seen in multiple v4's. Maybe just something going on with everything. Not sure. Or I've done something wrong.

I've not notice any V.5 forums uncentering and I look at a lot of them. Weird. But your forum looks much better now in IE however the images that are supposed to be side by side are not in IE. On the images that have float right in them, try removing that and see if they line up better. (I tested it on my test site and they were perfect so not sure why yours are goofed up.)
One thing you may want to do is clear you cache and history. Sometimes that just bogs things down if you never clear that stuff out. Not sure if that is the issue.

I've only noticed v4 doing it. Site has been fine all morning. Just now started jumping left again. Not sure. I'm working on a v5 site to move to. So that will probably happen sooner rather than later.
Update: I'm going to blame my browser. Others on site say it's fine for them.

Oh, sorry. Forgot you have V4.5. Now there are lot of messed up sites in V4.5 due to coding issues. By the way, your forum looks good in IE now.

I opened it up in IE to look at things. Other than the gap I can't seem to get to go away in my welcome table. I'm pretty content with it. lol. Thank you. I never went and looked at it in anything other than Chrome.

If you tell me what gap in your welcome table I'll see if I can help.

Where you can click on Welcome and it hides the tables and the four buttons underneath that that open the different categories, there is a gap. It isn't there in Chrome. But it was there in IE. And if any idea how to pull side tables back towards forum. Is driving me nuts. lol.

To fix the side table put back the padding here in blue: (maybe 10px)
HTML Left Side Tables for ProBoards - Smangii Style GLOBAL HEADERS =================================== //-->
<!-- Start Main Table //--> <table align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="0" style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">
I'm looking at your tabbed table now.

To fix the side table instead of padding replace it with the blue:
<!-- Start Main Table //--> <table align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="0" style="margin-left: 10px;"> <tr>
I'm looking at your tabbed table now. Well, I thought I was going to be looking at it but here I am 2 hours later or so. Save your tabbed table and css to notepad. You don't have to save the javascript part above the css. Now remove that css and table and try this:
<style type="text/css"><!--
.welcometablebg { background-color: #8f989f; float: left; }
.welcometablehover { background-color: #8f989f; float: left; } #pro_tabs td { cursor: pointer; } #pro_content { font-size: 10pt; text-align: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #pro_threads { font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: left; } --></style>
<table width="650px" align="center" cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" class="bordercolor"> <tr> <td class="titlebg" cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" align="center" colspan="2" style="background-image:url(http://imageshack.us/a/img541/2106/cataclysm14.png); height:70px;padding: 0px; cursor: pointer;" onclick="DTT.toggleTable();"> </td> </tr> <tr id="pro_collapse" style="display:;"> <td width="100%" valign="top" class="windowbg" colspan="2">
<div id="pro_tabs"> <span class="welcometablehover" onclick="DTT.toggleTab(this.id);" id="nav_welcome"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img594/8315/cataclysm15.png"></span> <span class="welcometablebg" onclick="DTT.toggleTab(this.id);" id="nav_packs"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img692/4392/cataclysm16.png"></span> <span class="welcometablebg" onclick="DTT.toggleTab(this.id);" id="nav_staff"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img27/6938/cataclysm17.png"></span> <span class="welcometablebg" onclick="DTT.toggleTab(this.id);" id="nav_monthlyhonors"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img845/3592/cataclysm18.png"></span> <span class="welcometablebg"><img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img844/8016/cataclysm19.png"></span> </div>

By the way, your tabbed table was set at 600px but your sliced images put together is 650px in width so I had to change that table width. The easiest solution would be to add 50px to your banner width and border images.
