Hmm.. Ok, thanks for letting me know. I'll have to look at the code and see if there is something I can do to fix it.

Whatever layout changes you made are causing a constant horizontal scrollbar in Firefox now matter what the page width.



EDIT:
Changing

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

to

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
<table border="0" width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

will fix it

I never even noticed that:P

[bszopi]

Just don't use Firefox... :P

Well, I'm in Vegas for the week for and AutoDesk conference for work, so I just don't see me getting to it until this weekend at the earliest.

I finally got my 65535 PM's to go away by clearing out about 20 old ones the number went back to 0

[bszopi]

Hey Moon, it should be fixed now. Let me know if it works or not.

[SappySE107]

I still have the scroll bar.

[moonwell]

Looks like you changed the wrong table to 99%

[bszopi]

Do you realize how many instances of 100% are in this program??? I guess I'll have to DL that crappy browser and spend half a day trying to find the right one....

[SappySE107]

What crappy browser? IE? This thread looked more fucked up in IE than it does in firefox at 1024x768.

[bszopi]

I dunno.. I'm running IE7.0 and it all looks fine. Of course, I'm also running at 1280x1024. I switched to 1024x768 and I don't know how people can even see any of it without having to scroll. Hell, the store logo (at 400px wide) takes up almost half the screen and really causes the nav area and profile area to wrap alot. Maybe I just need to redesign the whole thing and base it off of 800x600 so everyone will be happy.

[bszopi]

Ok, even in 1024x768, the threads look fine, even with the sidebar menu open. Only time it jacks up is when there is a picture (ie, Moonwell's screen shot) that is too big to display and it pushed the screen over and causes the scroll bar. And just for information purposes, there are 87 instances of 100% on just this single page. With the way vBulletin is setup, those instances could be spread across 10-30 different templates, each of which would have to be searched and altered. And then who knows what else would get screwed up. Personally, the scroll bar looks so minimal to me that I don't think its worth my time to mess with. And as Ben stated, he didn't even notice it until you said something. It doesn't affect the content of the page. Everything is still in view. You just have an extra scrollbar showing at the bottom of the page...

[Superdave]

No problems with IE7 on my compy.. but my res is 2560x1024..

[moonwell]

Never looked at the VB code to be sure how all the templates link together, but when the code is parsed , the table that needs to be modified is the one right under this comment line

<!-- Left Column Code  -->

I got a grumble.... Whats with the three letters being excluded in search. Can't you add certain key Three letter abbreviation... We all know FWD and RWD.. but you try and use them in the search feature and it dumps the abbreviation.... I know how to search so I'm not from the tard farm but you type out Rear Wheel Drive and you get crap cus everybody knows its RWD Same with FWD.... I'm sure there are others I can't think of at the moment..... or is it always just going to dump any three letter word abbreviation??? can't you make those search enabled?
