Issues with new board vs. Mozilla Firefox..

[CAT3]

Didnt see anyone else posting up on it, may have missed it if they did..but I use Firefox and have issues with the new layout. Not sure if its fixable, but with the old layout there were no issues. Now, some posts, maybe users sigs or something, stretch the window pane extremely wide forcing me to scroll R/L to read the posts. Checked some of the same topics and post with i.e. and no issues, reads normal.

It's a conspiracy! At the job Firefox is not approved and all of my developers had to uninstall it.

Have not had any problems using Firefox yet.

Oh sure, blame the board, check your settings and see if there is an option to adjust for screen resolution to match the vid settings.

Tools - Options - Advanced

Middle of screen in the "Browsing" section

Select "Resize large images to fit in the browser window"

Very nice. No more 1999.

Can we get rid of the 'edited by' line below the post though. (You can turn it off.) Just a pet peeve, but for those of us who make lot of mistakes and have to contantly go back and hit the edit button so we don't sound like total idiots. I'd say I find that really annoying but it's really to hid my embarresment.

I'm running into the same problems with 1.5.0.6 and checked that setting. It's set the way you described but I still get the stretched/compressed layout on some threads. Any other ideas?

[pashnit]

What is suppose to happen is the each post should resize to {width=100%}, so if you put in a wide photo the program will automatically resize each post.

Problem- basically a glitch in this new program- is that if you insert a panoramic photo the entire thread will resize to the picture width, which is the exact opposite of what the program is supposed to do.

This can be fixed but hopefully you have some savy admiinstrators that can go fix the code on this, or possibly there may be a control for it in the control panel.

[pashnit]

Here's an example: in my Grand Tour of Pashnit California, wasn't able to insert any of the panoramic photos as the thread went nutty. Sometimes the left side 'info area, ie avitar, post #, got really wide, other times the message box didn't match the one above.

The pic will screw up this entire thread.

Mozilla Firefox is the coke-and-pepsi competitor of Internet Explorer.

But alot of web users have migrated to using the firefox browser instead. Me too, like it much better.

And this thread spacing is messed up in both my Firefox & Internet Explorer so can't blame the browser.

[pashnit]

Here's the opposite program. Sometimes the thread auto-resizes to very narrow. That's pretty odd too.

See... screen shot..

http://hayabusa.org/cgi-bin/busa/iko...=ST;f=5;t=554.

The header resizes to 100%, the thread does not. ?



Now check this out, scroll down to post #19 and it's even more screw up.



Oh, btw, everything works fine in Internet Explorer. I think Microsoft & Ikonboard programmers are all incahoots together.

[captain]

thats why the board runs on a linux OS

Everything is stretched way long on this thread . It sucks.
