Forum Wrap-around

Due to new software, am now getting extra long forum titles today. They arrange well off to the right margin of viewing screen here, and cause a shifting bar at bottom. Really long, long.

Could the new software designer put back the title wrap around feature so that I do not have to pan back and forth every couple of seconds to read something? Something got bleeped out in the change-over and needs to be put back in again.

I do not find an On-Off box to check in the Preferences such that this will enable again this once older feature on my viewings.

RE: Forum Wrap-around

This appears to only be an issue with old version of netscape or firefox 2 older version.

newer browsers do not appear to have this problem. I will have to take a look and see if I can make the code backward compatibile to these old browsers. FYI only about 3% of our users have browsers older then FF3 or IE7

Nope...FWIW, the problem only occurs with the "Discussion Forums" main page....After I open/up a thread, everything is back to normal...

RE: Forum Wrap-around

As Tande found out it now seems to be centered only on the main forum page. Not within any of the individual forums.

But, gee, is it ever causing something to be really-really wide now.

"What's that say over on the right margin?"

RE: Forum Wrap-around

I was on vacation this week but will take a look at this when I get back this coming week. There is a nowrap tag I think causing this. If not this then the fieldset tag we use to display subforums is not playing nice in some older browsers and honoring wrap/nowrap calls
