i dunno about you guys, but i use 800x600 resolution, and the forum has started stretching since these new buttons were added-

is it the buttons, or does it have to do with something else? It has never happened before to me with the old forum look.

I posted about this a couple of days ago (topic title: forum too wide) but it just seems to happen in some threads, yours for example is fine righ down to where the logout button hits the edge of the logo....I'm looking into it.

Edit: it's something in the reply code I'm using, as your post is fine without my reply....

it's best to use constant values (width=760) instead of percentages (width=100%)

Indeed (have you seen the source of this forum [:D])

If you browse the forum without being logged in everthing's fine, so it must be a combination of the 'reply' code and 'stuff that changes when you are logged in' code

yep, i took a look at the source before i posted and it was mainly using percentages, especially on the beginning of the tables. sometimes the posts scroll and sometimes they don't, so that would be the reason.

from the source from both logged in and out, i'm getting:

table align="center" border="0" cellPadding="4" cellSpacing="0" width="100%"

table bgcolor="607890" align="center" border="0" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="0" width="100%"

table border="0" bgcolor="083C08" align="left" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="1" width="100%" height="27"

table align="center" border="0" cellPadding="4" cellSpacing="0" width="100%"

all of the tables are using 100%

maybe you could change the 100% to 760 and it would help straighten things out.

the problem we're going to hit then is that the buttons are going to wrap onto two lines...hmm.. (just used 800x600 to view the forum..yuck!) I'll see what I can do

indeed, its so ugly, why dont you just use 1024*768 or a higher resolution?
