  @panaghiotisadam:

  Thanks – I saw that the theme has 24px padding in cells.Yikes! Fortunately I had purchased the CSS upgrade, so have overriden the padding.

  Table borders are another issue and I don’t think any solution that involves editing all the tables is a practical one (I have hundreds).

  My 2nd problem with the visual editor would be difficult to demonstrate….

  OK – its not so difficult to demonstrate.

  1. Insert a table (a single cell will do) and insert a previously uploaded image. Now (try to) re-size the image (either with the grab-handles or by setting the size explicitly). The visual editor does not show this change in size, even though if you publish/update the post, your image size is as you’d hoped.

  Even though the table looks correct, the visual editor gets it wrong if you subsequently edit the post.

  i.e. visual editor is always using the original image size – it is not taking notice of the width and height attributes.

  @knashermac2009: If you have the CSS upgrade, you can correct the border thing too.

  As for the visual editor bug, it has to do with the images themselves, not the tables. If you delete the size attribute from the image code, then the image will behave.

  Hmmmmm – I have around 1000 pages, many with tables. I guess I only need to do this mod when I edit the post though.

  Thanks panaghiotisadm – I’ll try it out.

  OK – I tried out your suggestion regarding a table. I’m afraid its worse! Without the image attributes for width and height, the table then expands in my post to 1500 wide (3 cells, each with an image that was uploaded at 500wide). Adding a width attribute to the table makes no difference. The visual editor is also completely unuseable.

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I think this needs someone to do some simple examples with the Coraline Theme.

  I’m not convinced that CSS can help with the table border thingy. My problem was that tables that had a border specified, were not showing those borders.I would be looking for a CSS fix that:
  a) Showed my tables with borders if they had them. border=”1″
  b) Showed my tables without borders if I hadn’t asked for them. border=”0″

  Is that too much to ask of Coraline? :-)

  I didn’t mean delete width and height: delete the part that says “size-medium” or the like.

  My apologies. I get you now.

  Thanks panaghiotisadm. Visual editor can now be made to behave.

  hi, experiencing some troubles as well. the second post doesn’t have a permalink nor post title. and then when i posted a picture and a link to a picasa slideshow, only the url, the home page suddenly shows “this gallery shows 1 photo” which is pretty annoying, especially when i posted a new entry and it says the same thing.

  at the bottom it then says ‘more galleries’.

  how can i switch this off? i also can’t remember having switched anything on.

  thanks in advance for helping out
