I like double posting.

Hey, so I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, as the thread is now some 40 pages long, however I browse (In Firefox) pretty much all the time with my window compressed. What I get is a detachment of the background and foreground. Like so:

Gets worse the smaller you go:

(I couldn't get the [IMG] tag to work with dropbox. Am I missing something obvious?)

Its been like this for long enough to prompt me to action, so maybe we can fix it now?

The site is designed to be displayed at 1280px wide resolution. If your resolution/browser size is below that (and it'll display at 1024 wide ok, without the side ads), then it's going to be hinky, and it's not going to get fixed. Sorry, but the time taken to fix that isn't worth it.

Well that's an incredibly lazy answer....

Surely you could just wrap your header and footer content like so:

Code: Select all

<!-- 140 is your advertisement width.. -->
<div id="wrapper" style="text-align:center; padding:0 140px;">
    <div id="header-content" style="width:960px; margin:0px auto;>
        <!-- Header content here -->
   </div>
</div>


This will give you the minimum margin left effect, then separate the white part of the background, apply it to your 'body-container' div and have the stock grey texture as the html body background?

That's what, a half-hours work?

This is the best solution we've been able to come up with to create clickable side areas that scale precisely to the height of the page on each side of the main column. It's not perfect! If you can knock together a better way to do it, I'd be happy to look at implementing it.

Eh, I tried to play around with the page a bit, but Chrome doesn't feel like working properly.
Wouldn't it be easier to use CSS to apply the white background to the forum? then there isn't a need for the skin_left div ... well, that's what it looked like to me, I was playing around with Firebug ... but I've forgotten how to use it properly so I don't know.

Solid background with the white in the middle something like this; http://i.imgur.com/bU5ZQ.jpg .. but obviously done better and not a 5 minute shoop job at 3 AM.

It's not lazy, it's a matter of practicality. You've identified a situation where something has broken. I've responded by saying it's not worth the time and effort to fix given you're the only one that has this issue, and the specification was for a site at xxxx resolution. So in formal terms, your request is out of specification, only effects a very small portion of the user base, and hence, regardless of the time taken, is a very low priority to look at and even lower to fix.

I use to get the same exact thing on my second computer I use for admining it's a 19" with a default native resolution of 1280x1024 monitor running Vista with the side bar active and set to always on top which means a browser or page on the computer I maximise butts up to the edge so you can still see the gadgets, so effectively making the width I view at not as wide as it should be.

How I fixed mine was to use the fix from below now the website fits the 19" monitor like every other site out there, might be a better quicker fix for you like it was me.

I got to be honest, originally I just looked at it in the grand scheme of things and I thought I wouldn't bother me, but as time has gone on its become a major annoyance for me. It drives me nuts. Having the window open to that size creates too much wasted space, even at 1920x1080. And don't even get me started on using low res laptops, tablets and phones...

Does the site still allow streaming of Trailers on the file server? Or am i just not seeing it
Was a nice feature if i just wanted to see the file without downloading it just to delete it.

Someone decide to break RSS without telling anyone?

RSS is still working fine for me -- what issues are you experiencing?

RSS with the old URL stopped delivering content 2-3 weeks ago.

RSS with the old URL stopped delivering content 2-3 weeks ago.

Which URL is this? What is the date or content from 2-3 weeks ago? This will assist us in troubling shooting the issue.
