News articles Center all text

Hangin' Around Joined: May 19, 2006 Posts: 30

No matter what I do when I post news all text is centered and does not align to the left. is there code I need to enter in with the text to get it to line up to the left and not center all the time? if so what? I have tried <br> etc but when i post the news it just shows as code and when i go back to edit its not there anymore. The top news article wont center anything though (the one with the edit option rite on the page), the same thing happens, when i try to center with <center> nothing happens and when i go back to edit the code is gone

Look here [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

this is my allowable maybe something is missing

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1,"img"=>2,"center"=>1);

Thanks for any help

I believe it is related to your theme. Have a look at the code and I think you will find there is a center tag in there.

try story_page.html and or story_home.html
and find something like < center > $ title $ content </ center >

i did not find reference to what you said to look for and I am entirely new to this so I dont know what to do.

Ok, the theme is heavily controlled via tables to lay out the text. I see the following on many cell tags:

align="center"

Remove that attribute from the <td> tags where you do not want the centering to occur.
