I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem with the posts --as in to read them I have to scroll across all the time to read them--they don't fit in the screen. I don't have this trouble with other forums ?
Thanks.

Long URL links also blow them outsize eg:ebay ones; thats why I use tinyurl service with mine.

When I have to scroll side ways to view I usually pass that thread over unless it's exceptional

I've tried to figure out how this is happening. My observations is that it seems to happen as Gatesy says, except it isn't 100% the case. Might be a bit of a bug in the forum code when it comes to inserting images in either posts or signatures.

It is annoying.

Just did some dicking around. Very odd.

Suspecting the images in the sig to be the problem, I listed redphoenix's posts and went through them. Every one exhibited the problem 0 not severe but definitely annoying.

Started to draft a PM to red to discuss the issue and how we might go about identifying the actual problem when I nneded to check something. Went back to one of his posts and the problem was no longer evident. Checked others and it was not in any of them.

I'm using IE6.0 (by mandate of the IT dept). It seems there is a rendering issue between the phpbb code and IE, but it can be overcome by returning to a page by using the Back function.

Looks like its time for me to look at upgrading the code on the forum. In the meantime, it seems we have a workaround. Or use firefox!

 

[Magicrik]

Thats funny :? this post is fine on my comp and ive never seen it happen with a signature.....just pics.

Re: Peril Arrrrrrrrrr ive just installed firefox about 3 days ago and come to think of it ive not seen it since ive installed firefox.

 

[HiRAEdd]

I think that phpbb is optimised for at least 1024x768..

*holds back on web accessibility purist rant/rave*

 

[Peril]

I just did the back function thing as suggested by Dave and it did nothing on my work computer. Any other little tricks to try dave?

BTW i don't know what any of these IE06 thingies your talking about are

Hmm, not working for me now either. Definitely a rendering bug. Just need to find the work around, if any.

IE is Internet Explorer

Oh my goodness, they really are out there! One day you really should try this 21st century stuff mate, or even better, go Linux, I hear SUSE is very good, but the DVD ISO might take a while to download on your 33k modem.

Now, now Karl, no need to get snobbish. In the real world there are lots of folks using dated technology that still happens to work for them, however much the software manufacturers might dislike it. A simple board like this should be able to function for them. After all, its little more than getting data and posting data, with simple layout. Why upgrade to operating systems that require the lastest processors etc when you can browse the web and write docs on the old system. Of course you're stuffed when you need to buy a new printer, but until then I say more power to those getting a good return on investment.

Hey Red, what's a scrollwheel? :lol:
