Anything Forums

Well the time we've been waiting for. The new layout. With last night's extra hour of coding time, I decided to make the layout, and today I spent the day putting it on all the pages, and now it's pretty much done. I don't think I missed any pages. In fact, I got rid of some pages. The about.htm, and the link2us.htm.... I bet those pages got about 100 hits per month, if less. So why waste 5-10 minutes extra changing them.

Also made the news archives in one page, instead of the "last 50" then the archives. It still loads fast anyway. In the future I might make it so there's pages, but for now it's just a dumping of all news since the start.

Well I hope you all like the layout, I think it looks great but feel free to comment here.

Looks good Red, but you have a seam showing.

A seam? What's that?

Looks like where you stitched 2 images and they didn't quite line up.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12811

Seems ok at my end. But I did forget to test this in IE though. I noticed the bottom border is white instead of black... but I did not see anywhere where two images don't line up. A while ago I was playing with it though. Is it still doing it? I might need a screen shot to see what I can do.

That's exactly what I'm seeing in IE6.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12815

Weird... looks ok in mozilla and whatever version of IE comes with win2K. I hate how IE is not standard. Not sure what I can do to fix that. Whatever works will probably make it look bad in all other browsers.

Is it doing it everywhere or just the forum?

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12818

It's not a problem for me, I just thought everyone was seeing the same thing.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12824

It looks ok on the home page.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12826

I think I know what it is then. IE does not render table backgrounds properly I guess. Since the background there is bigger then the actual table, but I'll just make a smaller version and see if it fixes it. Now that I think of it, I will save on bandwidth in the long run if I cut it properly.


Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12827

Fixed. Now it should work. Can't see why not. Let me know the results.

Err... It doesn't here... I cleared the cache and everything...

You're talking about IE right? Since it works in mozilla, and I just downloaded opera to try it. It works in my version of IE as well. But the shout box does not work in that version. Man IE blows.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12831

Works in opera too. I have not tried linux browsers yet though. I think it's an IE only thing though. But sadly, mostly everyone uses that.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12832

Still the same here.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12834

Have no clue then... I don't think it's something that can be fixed. I'll see if I can do something tomorow. I might need to use an if statement and do a browser check so that it uses different code depending on the browser, but what sucks is that so many people fool around with the user agent and it would make it think it's using a different browser and mess up.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12835

I just did something very simple, let me know if it actually did something. If yes, I'll frigen laugh.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12836

looks fine in opera.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12841

Hey wren, is it working now? I changed the image to a background instead. If it still does not work, I just can't fix it. I've tried everything! I hate IE!

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12844

Yep, looks fine now.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12845

Good to know! Still don't know why it did not work in first place, but as long as it works now

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12848

Well I checked it out in IE6 and it looks fine to me

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1520, old post ID:12860

Yep, seems fixed now. Using IE at school. Now th eonly thing I might consider fixing is how some forums are not aligned properly, but I think I wont bother since IE is the only browser not capable of rendering good anyway. Half the time it will be different stuff that looks out of place when I hit refresh.
