Board Theme

Post by Fippy » Mon Oct 07, 2002 12:12 pm

OK I use the default board theme and this is for 1 reason. The board is wider so the scripts that are posted dont get so scrunched up and they are easier to read.

So Please cast your vote.

Salutations,
I like the style of the new theme, but like you, i don't like the scrunched code. For most code the new version works as there isn't many huge lines to it, so i use the 'pimpin'' theme.

I played around with it and happened to think that it looked better with the current width personally, but it appears that some people don't agree. I'll just make a wide version that fits with the width of the screen and let people choose.

Expect it soon™

I guess hes refering to the occasional scripting bug. I dont think its the scripting on this board though. I think its a problem with IE myself cause I have had it on other boards too that wernt phpbb ones.

You should now be able to choose a wide version of the theme that will be the width of your browser window.

tux, it really doesnt matter whether the JS problem is just in IE or Mozilla.. it exists.

Can you please fix it; most of our users use IE and hunting down posts for codebrackets, plus other annoyances, are just getting laborious.

Unless you cant find the problem....

I'll look into it, but if it is an IE only problem you'll more then likely have to bug l124rd if you want it fixed. I attempted to contact you about the issue on IRC, but you did not respond.

What are these "other annoyances"?

The W I D E version is, well, my ass!

I love it!


For the script kiddies, that's "Catt's ass", I realize if you have to figure something out you'll never get it.
