View Full Version : The "New Posts" page is a little wonky.

The "Forum" column could use a little formatting work. The column is too narrow to accommodate the forum name. I don't know if IE is affected or if it's just Mozilla and Firefox. See attached.

It's a firefox/mozilla issue. Looks fine in IE. I'll have to look into this

Looks like you've slimmed down the "Views" column. It renders OK now.

Haha... it's the number of views for an article entitled "Max Theater"... 37531 views. If the Views column gets widened for a large number the rendering problem shows up.

Always been this way for me, I just chalked it up to the people who try to fit their entire HijackThis log in the thread title.

LOL, that could be the problem. The main issue though is that on all the other pages, there isn't the 7th row there listing the actual forum. I can fix it, but might have to get creative since our site is not 100% width. Right now it's not top of my list of things i'm working on. I did spend about 5 min tracking down the template, so I know where it is at least.

Hey, that brings up a good idea. Anyone here know vbulletin well enough to help installing a new theme?

Any volunteers just send me a PM. We are getting close to launching the new site design, but I havent touched the forum templates at all, and obviously there are still some bugs in the current layout.

No worries there... I just wanted to let you guys know.

Hell... why worry about fixing things in this site design then?

Ack! I still have too much self respect to learn vbulletin... ;)

Ha! Have any of you guys used phpBB? How does it compare? It looks a little less "feature rich" than vbulletin.

phpBB sucks major compared to vbulletin. I tried installing it on my own site and the thing is buggy as all get out.

the problem will still exist in new site, which is why we need to tackle it.
