Forum Problem. Anyone Experiencing This?

Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2005 3:19 pm

Does the inside table pop out to the right for anyone when they are vieing threads. the issue is that the mid section pops out of alighnment when the thread loads, it comes out of alignment with the top banner and bottom line of page. this only occurs IN threads. Please provide feeback.

I think it is only occuring to certain people, not normal registered users, but i would like to confirm this.

here is a picture of what i see when viewing a thread...

You know what it is SWM it's your admin functionality buttons on the bottom.

They are pushing the jump to forum drop down over and the whole table is adjusting to compensate. Can you make the buttons smaller?

I am talking about these buttons

Delete Topic
Move Topic
Lock Topic
Split Topic

shit, i figured it out. it is the JUMP to Drop down itself that is the issue, the top forum in my list, the one called "Register to View blah blah blah", was too long and causing the jump to line to streatch out longer, thus bumping out the side. I fixed it

thanks for the lead Red, Much appreciated, shit was bugging me for a couple weeks now...

You probably didn't see it before because it seems like you just added the Please Register to See and Participate in the Forums forum The ID is 10 so it must of came after the Grammy forum and before the Academy Awards forum.

With that long name you increased the size of the Jump to: Forum Dropdown and it probably wanted to move into the space your admin tools are and since your admin tools come first it moved everything over.

An easier fix is to rename that forum to something smaller to make the dropdown smaller.

OK I have installed a couple at my forum...but I only had my phpbb forum up for a week now.

Usually the PHPBB mods are really easy to follow.
