dubstar Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 when reading post from left to right, I need to scroll over, as the right hand margins (and the "new topic" and "reply" buttons) are off-screen...anyone else have this issue? this only used to happen when someone posted a giant photo or long link is this forum optimized for 1024x768 or bigger, and not 800x600? (or close to those numbers) because many people still have small monitors and laptops some forums such as the FDP (fender) actually have guidelines to prevent members from posting long links or photos that create the need to scroll over...but this is obviously due to how the epiphone forum is set-up thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingfrets Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Nope, not an isolated instance. I've got it too (in fact, as I type, it's scrolling right off the screen). And ALL the photos are about the size of a pencil eraser. Still takes a month of Sundays to upload a reply. Same old **** in a new box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rented Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 That seems to happen on IE6 when I tried it... If your using IE7 or Firefox (works great!) everything will look normal. I guess they just programmed this new forum to work with updated browser versions, it seems so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm using firefox... not digging this, as it detracts from the experience considering most other forums avoid this, can the tech staff take a look at this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 considering most other forums avoid this' date=' can the tech staff take a look at this issue? [/quote'] Pretty easy to fix. The table which contains the most of the content is set to fixed width of 1003 pixels and with padding you'll need at least a window that is 1024 pixels wide to show the page without having to scroll right. <table class="content" width="1003px" border="0" The fix would be simple, just change the "1003px" to a percentage, eg "90%", which would scale the page relative to the user's screen...

dubstar Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 but there's nothing I can do, right biff? aside from changing my screen resolution, which will make the text tiny (which I won't do just for this one forum...all other forums display fine unless a large image is posted) btw, I am using a mac can admin comment, please? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
