I only just today added the [shownext] and now getting this odd result.I am wondering if anyone besides me has even tried to use [shownext] with a [table].???Meanwhile I got Gary Krockover's [ShowNext] replacement (see the User Contributed Notes for [shownext]) running fine but I miss the automagically placed shownext links appearing above and below the [founditems] loop.. .And anyway if this is a bug, or a feature, or my lame code.. ?
