Hello! I have a Sponsored+ Account and have been working with an S1 layout. I read the disclaimer for the S1 accounts and am still having trouble with my layout. It is completely misaligned, no matter how many times I toy with the numbers (when I finally think it looks right, the layout misaligns when I exit Internet Explorer and reload the page from scratch).

The top of the page doesn't line up with the rest, and I can't seem to configure the text to fit inside the box. I know this post is a doozy, so I appreciate any help you can give me!

Here is the code I am using:

Well, this will give you a start.. http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=134015

There is still an alignment problem, which is okay because sponsored+ is still fairly new to me; learning is good. :)

Best bet, in my opinion: Go back to the original code for now and add in the part from the pinned thread. Then you can mess with the positioning and you won't be working yourself in circles, because without that code it's nearly impossible to get anything right. Let me know if you get it, or if not I can help some more. _smile.gif

I fixed the table codes as specified in the Sponsored + post. This fixed the problem when the window is default size; however, if I maximize it, the alignment shifts.

When the window is maximized, you can see that the top section shifts to the left. Otherwise, your advice was spot-on and fixed my text problems. :)

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it!
