This depends on what you are using to create this block.  Why are you using block-in-block?

Block in block was the only block i could find, that sort of worked.

Is there is a better block to use?


im using board news blocks.

using this block from SiNaN

$columns = 2;
$block_ids = array(49, 50, 52, 53);

$block_data = array();
foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $block_data[$block] = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false));
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

echo '
<table style="width: 100%;">
   <tr>';

$counter = 0;
foreach ($block_data as $data)
{
   if ($counter != 0 && $counter % $columns == 0)
   {
      echo '
   </tr>
   <tr>';
   }

   echo '
      <td style="width: ', ceil((100 / $columns)), '%; vertical-align: top;">
         ', template_block($data), '
      </td>';

   $counter++;
}

echo '
   </tr>
</table>';

I"m not sure what is what here.
Probably it would be easier if you would create a test page.
On that test page, just show the one block you want to fine-tune.

When you are done with that one block, then we can turn to the effects of block-in-block.

How does that sound?

Are you using the gallery block?

no using the board news block for now. I wanted to keep the photos in the forum.

Try a search on boxynews, and see if this custom block does what you want.

Please try this WITHOUT block-in-block while you are working through it. If you ned more complicatins later, you can add it later.
