layout.css [IE7 - comment box pushed to far right] [Posting replies]

hmm dunno.

Just tested in ff and IE6 and it was same as usual. No IE7 here to look at though.

jack post a link to a thread so i can try and replicate

Yeah with IE7 im getting this on all threads in this forum.

Could be to do with width changes?

hmm. I'm on IE7 and it looks completely normal. Shouldn't be width changes - only really did layout.css

It happens on all threads which are one page. As soon as the pager is needed its not happening for me.

I have a feeling its this:

  
    Post new comment

Yeah it was layout.css not what i posted above

We are using an old version of layout.css now.

Why on line 31 does it say width must be 100% and its set at 85%?

/* We must define 100% width to avoid the body being too narrow for near-empty pages */
#main {
  float: left;
  width: 85%;
  margin-left: 14%;
}

Which you had changed to 87/12

Im guessing this is connected to the clear: both above tho. So yeah a float somewhere above the post comment bit.

narrow pages agin tho

the way it was set up before those two numbers added up to 99 (I think to avoid rounding errors), so I've just been changing the ratio. Reckon it'd be best to have a fixed margin (or very small margin and fixed padding if necessary) so the star and beginning of centre column are always same distance. Don't really understand how layout.css works tbh. In fact probably we should go back to original one (not a lot different) and redo it, after fixing page.tpl.php variable body classes (replaced by flatforum function, could try to combine instead.) - I reckon doing that might fix some of the glaring IE6 stuff if we're lucky.

Ok sounds like a good idea.

Also while i remember - we should set a z-index on the logo in styles.css and that might fix the URL problem with that when it overlaps.

ok now I see it. That's weird. I think it's probably flatforum causing the problems.

Starting to wonder if we should kill flatforums and try to do forums theming ourselves from zen - then just use the module theme function for posts/joined date when we've got it looking good.

I reckon we should get rid of the two columns ideally - was looking on a small window and it takes up a lot of space on long posts. Still have location etc. just up top somewhere.

Flatforums - yeah i reckon its this - but thing is i managed to fix it before... I guess we could just switch off flatforum module and see what happens. Doing it ourselves wouldnt be too hard.

2 coloumns:

Yeah i was thinking of doing that as well, but then i was thinking that's very very very untraditional for forums. So might be a bit wierd.

But i reckon we could give it a go.

be nice to try it.

Like I said on IE5/IE6 thread - I'm starting to think we should swap back in defaults for everything then c+p changes over to tidy up and debug in different browsers. A few nasty issues that might be hard to fix one by one.

Yeah lets try and come up with a list of files which will need to check through then...

Should only be these files:

page.tpl.php
styles.css
layout.css
icons.css (nothing major)
node.tpl.php (nothing major)
block.tpl.php (nothing major).
plus the menu and nifty .js

I reckon it's all in page. tpl.php styles.css and layout.css

Also we should check if there's an update to the zen theme out since there might be fixes in that as well.

flatforum.css

.forum-comment {
float: left;
width: 100%;
padding-right: 5px;
}

instead of

.forum-comment {
float: left;
width: 97%;
padding-right: 5px;
}

seems to have fixed it.

thats brilliant. nice one.
