Topic: site using punbb styles

Hi,

It took me a lot of time but it's now finished.
Thanks to Rickard who created punbb, to Connorhd who helped me with the use of css, I'm proud to show you the new version of pluriservices which is now compatible with firefox smile (the former version had difficulties...)
See here: http://www.pluriservices.net

I hope you'll like it,

Ludo,

I could if what Connorhd suggested does not satisfy you.
As Connorhd is used to saying, I'm quite lazy. But if it's needed, I'll do it.

Ludo,

Re: site using punbb styles

Cool smile

I would have a look at it in Firefox though. There are some problems with the images.

Which images? On which pages? With which version of firefox?

Ludo,

Re: site using punbb styles

These images. I'm using Firefox 1.0.3.

i get the same thing and i just cleared my cache. also running ff 1.0.3.

addition: looks to me the images aren't resizing themselves to fit in the smaller newspost so it's throwing everything out of wack. just my unproffessional opinion.

It's really strange. I'm also using FF 1.0.3 and I do not have the same result. Huumm... It's difficult for me to solve a problem I do not see.

Ludo,

Re: site using punbb styles

I too have FF 1.0.3 and I'm not seeing any problems, it could be your resolution though. Works fine in 1024x768...

Ok, on any resolution above that problems start occuring with the images not fitting properly.

As for the top image (the one that just says pluriservices.net), that could be because the ad banner next to it doesn't load for everyone.

Re: site using punbb styles

could be something to do with an adblocker, e.g. if it blocks the banner it might mess up the page

16

Re: site using punbb styles

I tried 1024X768, 800X600, IE, FF
All is working good.
But, I think what Connorhd said can be the right problem. With a ad blocker, it can have effect on the page. I go on thinking it's quite strange wink.

Ludo,

Re: site using punbb styles

actually if you make the page max width the images go slightly funny as the text is not long enough to push them down

18

Re: site using punbb styles

when you say max width, you mean more than 1024X768 ?

Ludo,

Re: site using punbb styles

yeh way more, i'm at 1280x960 and i streched it even more than that

20

Re: site using punbb styles

The best way to fix it would be to apply a class to the <p> which contains the poster |comments and then apply clear:both to it. For example

<p class="postedby">
Then in the stylesheet
p.postedby {clear:both}

The problem with the images won't just happen in Firefox, it will happen in all browsers other than Internet Explorer. Even in Internet Explorer the "posted by | comments" line will end up next to the image rather than underneath it if the browser is stretched large enough.

Re: site using punbb styles

Ok,
So, I did what Paul notices me.
My screen can't go more that 1024 X 768. somebody with higher to tell me if it now goes good?

Ludo,

Re: site using punbb styles

Looks fine at 1280px. There is no reason why it shouldn't work perfectly now at any resolution and even when the news items are very short or the images very large.
