Topic: Contact links outside the page layout under IE6 in Oxygen [fix found]

Hello.

I have almost finished a custom style for a request, but now I'm facing a last problem which seems to be a bug : Tests under IE6 revealed a positioning problem regarding the "E-mail" and "Website" links : they are outside the page layout.

I took screenshots, so I can show you the problem :

Custom style : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/ … t-mail.png
You see the email link being outside the page layout.

Oxygen style : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/ … n-mail.png
You can't even see the link because the forum is wider and so, the link is completely outside the window.

For those who are wondering, I'm using IEs4linux which is an adaptation of IE6 who can be installed and runned on Linux throught Wine (with or without PlayOnLinux front-end).

Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS / Windows XP SP2
GIMP 2.6.8 (advanced), Inkscape (newbie)
XHTML/CSS (advanced), PHP/MySQL (medium)

I'd love to try to fix this, but I'm on Windows 7 and MultipleIEs won't work.

Re: Contact links outside the page layout under IE6 in Oxygen [fix found]

God damn... I noticed my file wasn't saved correctly.  While looking on my gedit bar to see if I was editing the correct file, I saw the little * beside the filename, which means I didn't save the changes I did after the last save !  I saved the changes, then OMG, my links have moved !!!  So I could finally align them correctly !

Here are the fixes for IE6 stylesheet :

/*Contact links correction */
.brd .postfoot .post-contacts {
    padding: 0.6em 0 0.2em 0;
    margin: 0 0 0 1.3em;
}

Re: Contact links outside the page layout under IE6 in Oxygen [fix found]

By the fact of having no response from a moderator, I edited my title, to specify that this bug is present in Oxygen and I found a CSS fix that I suggest to reposition the links correctly in the next version.

We've seen the topic. We are going to test the fix and to include in PunBB 1.3.3 if everything is Ok.

Thanks for reporting.

The links jump after IE window resizing to a new place even if the fix you have proposed is applied. Maybe there is a better fix. We'll continue investigating.
