what is wrong with the forum

Post by **sundaymorningstaple** » Thu, 02 Apr 2009 4:15 pm

You are right on the urls IF the exceed the maximum width of the frame. However, if you are using an 800x600 resolution 15 inch monitor you will exceed the screen width before hitting the frame maximum which forces a break. A lot people are using 17~24 widescreen monitors now-days and if the frames are being geared for these types of monitors, then when viewed on a standard configured monitors, there is less horizontal real estate to play with so you end up with the horizontal scrollbars.

A long url will break it too. Like this one: http://singaporeexpats.com/forum/singap ... com/forum/

blue_thunder, how is it now? I had just re-cached the forum files.

What is missing from your view is the new entries in the css file. You are probably seeing the old forum cache files.

blue_thunder, if you still see the "BIG TEXT", appreciate if you can copy and paste the RAW html page source.

Instructions:

Right click in Firefox, select "View Page Source", then select ALL and copy and then paste as a reply in this thread.

In this way I can find out the fault easily.

Thanks.

blue_thunder · Post by **blue_thunder** » Thu, 02 Apr 2009 5:22 pm

Yes.
Still the same old BIG TEXT

PS : I did clear the cache/cookies for the second time and no luck.

Here you go with the Source.

This forum software filters all the HTML codes.

Sorry, can you goto the Page Source, FIND "Singapore Expats Forum
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for
Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore", then screenshoot that part as a jpeg instead?

Thanks.

Pal,
I have attached the jpg file and the text was found once in the source page.

lol no problem.

That is the wrong part. I need the "Singapore Expats Forum
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for" nearer to the TOP, close to the View posts since last visit.

Everything woks fine on Safari!

Thanks, addadude.

To blue_thunder: actually, if you ENSURE that the file subSilver.css is deleted in your cach folder, it will do the trick.
