  Why does my Illustratr themed homepage display as right-aligned in Internet Explorer, when I’ve set it to Center align? Looks fine in Chrome!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there! I just pulled your site up in IE11 and I’m seeing your home page center aligned.

  Can you tell me the specific version of IE you’re seeing this in? And upload a screenshot image to your Media Library?

  Thank you! I am using IE 10, screenshot is now uploaded into my Media Library. Also tested in IE 9, with same results. Unfortunately I would not anticipate all of our visitors having the most up to date version.

  Thanks! I see the issue you’re describing.

  This has to do with your use of tables. I will pass this along to our theme developers, however we generally suggest that users not use HTML tables.

  HTML tables don’t display consistently in different browsers. As you’re seeing in IE10, the browser is not resizing the content of the table to fit the space allotted. This type of error is also likely to happen on mobile devices.

  I would suggest you reformat your page’s content without the table. This will make for a better viewing experience on all devices.
