Thanks vuud.
Here's the code for the centre table on that index page, which is an external page that provides a summary of what is going on with the forum as well as a few other things I update manually:
<td valign="top">

Now I am not a whizzkid with HTML - I rely a lot on Dreamweaver to build the code for me, but I am slowly starting to learn how to do these things myself. From what I see above, the call to the CpmFetch function is enclosed in a centered <p> tag. This works fine for the SMF SSI calls you see above the final CpmFetch one, but for some reason the table generated by the CpmFetch command is returning content that is aligned to the left. It doesn't look so bad in a 1024x768 screen res, but anything bigger (like what 80% of my users are on) and it looks a bit odd. Would like to have it centered under the output from SMF's SSI stuff, as well as learn how to display perhaps some other detail or formatting.
I used to be a Unisys 2200 mainframe programmer (Mapper) about 15 years ago, so I have a limited understanding of programming in a PC environment. The PHP stuff is great! Really enjoying seeing all the things that are possible and am hoping to continue the learning to the point where I can develop my own applications and start taking my sites to a new level. I can't begin to explain how much closer to understanding the workings of PHP your "add-on" has provided me.
Will wait until your dev version is declared stable before I upgrade (am working with the latest stable version, 1.6.4 - I think?), but thanks for the hint.
Yep, that eagle shot is a pearler! We have some very talented guys (and gals) on Nikongear.
