Boom; and that did it. I didn't play around with it to much last night as it was a momentary panic to just make it not look shitty lol. I ran into something similar with the text being to long when I was typing between images but sorted it by giving each sentence it's own line in the row. I read parts of that thread so long ago, I didn't even think to go back.

I still find it weird that it isn't until posting that the problem presents itself, and that it's not all the images. At least I have a solution for the future.

Goonies never say die.
Would probably be related to this in the forum's style.css:

/* prevent gap between post icon and subject */
div#bodyarea table.bordercolor td td td.td_headerandpost td:first-child
{
    width: 26px;
}

So I have been trying to put a little more effort into my formatting  for certain posts - Reviews,Guides, Informative. Last night was such an occasion I created this review but had to wipe some of my attempts at formatting the text and images using "table" and "columns".

I created this topic in archival to showcase how the post appeared when I originally posted it, and the second post shows a screencap of how it displayed in preview. I'm not positive why this happens; I assume it has something to do with how the post displays once posting members profile appears on the left side. Apart from that it displays properly when I look at it from my list of previously created topics, from my profile.

I'm also not ruling out that it may be the way I was attempting to format the post resulting in the images being squished. If it's not that though it seems there is a difference between the space allotted for preview, as opposed to posted content.
