how do you make the tables largeR?

Looks to me like you're stuffing 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound bag. Your table is not high enough (it's about 130 px) for the images you are stuffing in there (about 160 px). Make your images smaller or your table higher.

This question is posted all over the forum ... but no where answered. The 'answer' above is a clue ... not an answer.

I found the answer in the KILLER skin.

You want this line from /public_html/cube/skins/Killer/styleSheets/layout.css

.subCat {

text-align: center;

padding: 8px;

float: left;

width: 110px;

height: 200px; <!--changed from 50, YMMV-->

My images are 75 x 75 (hardly huge) and yours are even smaller (57x75). But the original space provided was only 50 pixels tall, (roughly 2/3 of an inch) ... fairly tiny. Most of my customers are in their middle years ... and their vision is not getting any better. Too small pictures is a deal killer for them. Now that I know how to open up that table, I'm going to look into making the images even larger. At around 150 x 150, I think the usability obstacle should disappear.

Now, with that solved, I'm off on a quest to figure out how to get category pics to post to the index page (above "Latest Products") and NOT the category page they reference (It's okay if other categories post there ... but just not the icon for the page my customers are-already-on). MAYBE if I nose around in the other skins I'll be able to figure a way to do this. I don't want my (potential) customers to have to find the tab at the top in order to navigate. They should be able simply to click on an icon representing the product line they are interested in.

Okay ... I'm off on my quest. Hope this helped!

I am still having problems. I have for a long time. If you go to pbmansion.com and look at the cats, you see many problems. http://www.pbmansion.com/boards/chips/cat_265.html has an example.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT? I did all the steps above.

Heres your problem:

in layout.css

.subCat {

text-align: center;

padding: 8px;

float: left;

width: 110px;

height: 300px;

Try reducing the height

This didn't help. Anyone?
