Who says you have to do that?
Put each post inside another div, specify the border and background colour there, and use one of your other div's (for the author or message column) to create a border down the middle. |

but they arnt fine for use in positioning your headings , they work but are blah.
hell I would love to see a forum not over use tables and use a nice amount of divs + tables.
so don't everyone go "oh divs should be used in everything"
sure they can be used in a forum but it would require alot of work to do so and wouldnt feel or look as good.
remember kids tables are for data
divs are for everything else

tbh
make a parent box that holds all the posts, set its background color to the border color between posts and left/right post colums, then each post will be in a div, then each column of the post will be in seperate divs, and put padding-left: 1px for the left one and padding: 1px for the right one

RE: [self-split] tables vs. divs
tbh, WHY are you even wasting the typing energy to convert a thread into divs 
it is TABULAR DATA. you're discussing all these different tricks to make the layout resemble a TABLE.
apart form anything else, the divs don't hilight in the same way as tables do, screwing copy/paste up the ass.

RE: [self-split] tables vs. divs
I think that we are trying to get the non tabular stuff into divs (at least thats what me and -dt- are saying).
For example, the box i am using to type this in now, is a table, but that is just silly, since it is not tabular data.

thats what im saying too, the whole making a forum into divs thing was because cookie challenged us to 
but the tables that posts are in are just stupid tbh, document tree to get to my post is:
html>body#all>table>tbody>tr>td>table>tbody>tr>td>table>tbody>tr>td>form>table>tbody>tr>td.tborder>table>tbody>tr>td.trow2>table>tr>td>font
WTF
i can see it needs to be in a table because its tabular data but no more than one is needed |

Looks like a table to me. It has a header and two rows, one of which is divided into two columns. It's also in common with other more tabular contents.
I should also point out that the latest version of mybb uses a default skin that is much more semantic, much less table-heavy.
but it still uses <font> tags  |
