Topic: page widths not uniform in Firefox

In Firefox 1.5.0.8 clicking on the Rules link of the PunBB.org Forum and navigating to http://punbb.org/forums/misc.php?action=rules extends the page width about 15 pixels.

This does not occur in IE6.

Any way to tweak the CSS to allow consistent page widths using Firefox?

This is otherwise a fabulous application!

Re: page widths not uniform in Firefox

I'm using FireFox 2.0   I don't see any issues or differences, but maybe I'm blind?

Re: page widths not uniform in Firefox

I see the issue but the problem isn't with misc.php wink
The problem is how Firefox resizes things when adding a scrollbar. If there's no scrollbar then it lets the page take up more room. Thus on shorter pages like the rules page the spacing is inconsistent

You're right. It's a simple page shift problem unique to Firefox.

Re: page widths not uniform in Firefox

For those unable to access the link above, one solution is to use the declaration: "overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;". If you're using the default styling for PunBB go to style/imports/Oxygen_cs.css and add the declaration to the BODY element .
