forum off screen

[BLSTKRDR]

good job on the site i like the new format the only thing is the forum is off center and is running off my screen and there is no way to scroll over so the whole right side of the forum is non accessable to me. I have the safari browser.

I've got the same problem. It's also like this in Firefox. Opera has the navigation buttons fall down about 30 pixels (just an estimate), but not the width problem Safari and Firefox have. It seems it's only coded for Internet Explorer at the time. :\ I'll take a peek at the code, see if I can offer a solution.

Found the problem.

Webmasters: I took a closer look and it appears to be <div id="logo"> causing the problems. Tested it and it appears to work. I tested it with a locally-saved copy of the main page that linked to the files here. I used Firefox 2.0.0.6, IE 6, Opera 9.23, and Safari 3.0.3 (all Windows). Credit goes to Firebug (Firefox extension).

Hey Wakko, thanks for checking into that for us. Internet Explorer is what we design on, so that's the only browser we can guarantee at this point.

[Wakko]

No problem. :) At least that tag doesn't contain anything (which would've been tougher to solve :P).

Also, what I meant to say in my previous post (the one directly before this) was I tested removing that tag, and it worked as desired. Had problems trying to phrase that well. :P

the problem is that im on a mac so safari and firefox is the only web browsers i can use, and this problem is kinda getting annoying.

Here's what can be done to use what SHOULD be a temporary fix. I've been using this (in Opera) for a few hours and, when done properly, it "fixes" the problem by completely hiding the problematic part. It will work in Firefox, too.

In Firefox, you can fix it by editing/creating your UserContent.css (you can easily edit it with ChromEdit Plus (http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html), but you can manually find and edit it) with this content included:

@-moz-document domain(showbizpizzaforum.com){display:none !important;}
You will need to restart Firefox after this.

Opera users have a more complex method:

Create a file called "showbizforum.css". Make sure you NOTE the directory.
Put in there as follows: div#logo{display:none !important;}
Right-click (Command-click on Macs) on showbizpizzaforum.com
Choose "Edit site preferences..."
Choose "Display" (in the tabs)
Under "My style sheet", browse to "showbizforum.css"
Save the preferences.


I believe custom style sheets might be available in Safari, but I don't know how to do this. Sorry about that. :rolleyes:

I'm almost afraid to ask this, because I know that the rest of SP.com is also designed solely for IE - but are there any glaring problems on the rest of the site that come up in these alternate browsers?

Most of the code used on SP.com is basic, handwritten HTML (but here and there are sparadic bits of java and flash) so there might be issues here and there. Just thought I'd poll the audience to see if our code wasn't showing right.

I gotta admit that the only browser I use is IE, so I know that's what I use as my guide (to visually tweak things until they come out looking right on my screen). :(

[Wakko]

No worries Travis, there seems to be no problems with the rest of the site. :) Just the forum navigation has issues.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CODE I POSTED FOR MOZILLA-BASED BROWSER ABOVE, I HAVE FIXED IT HERE. Obviously, I made a mistake above. The code for Mozilla-based browsers is:


@namespace url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
@-moz-document domain(showbizpizzaforum.com){div#logo{display:non e !important;}}


This is what I get for not double-checking what I copy. :p Stupid, STUPID, STUPID me. :earl:

Haha nah, I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. In general, we're only experienced in IE so we wouldn't know how to offer support for any other browser. Thanks! :cecwink:

I live and die with Firefox. I have no OBVIOUS problems other than the forum layout that has been discussed here.

[CEC478Worker]

I as well, but it still would be nicer to have the layout in Firefox to be aligned as stated in this thread.

[BLSTKRDR]

problem solved......kinda, i hooked up an old monitor of my parents that was bigger then the one i was useing and scine my demensions are bigger i can see the all of the forum, but its still off center, but atleast i can see it.
