Does anyone know why the bookcovers are posting down the page instead of across? I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

Any ideas?"I read somewhere that it's a bug leftover from the infamous "upgrade" of a couple of weeks ago that caused all those issues. I heard that they were working on it but it wasn't a top priority. I guess they don't know how annoying it is to the challenge participators.

Any ideas?"I noticed by accident that if I put an HTML code in the line above the book covers, it displays them in a row again. You can use the code for bold or italics etc. And it seems you only need the opening tag like this < i > (omit the spaces). It does not work if you put it in the same line with the first cover. It has to be above. And I have no idea why this works. If you want you can put the closing tag after the last book cover. It still works and might prevent screwing up your post once they fixed the problem. Just use < / i > without the spaces.

Thanks Nicola! I might have gotten more finished if I hadn't had the business trip, since that was pretty much nonstop from 8 a.m.- 10 p.m. for a week. I can't complain though, because business for me is all movie related.
