Dont forget the admin language file is nowhere near complete. Its about 20% of the way through a major overhaul.

One problem with concatenating language files is different langauges have different word orders. If you want to reuse something better to use printf() then the translater can a least put the variable into the correct position.

Personally I don't see any harm in duplicating things and would much prefer it that way as it simplifies things considerably.

A horizontal submenu which breaks nicely is easy to do. The difficulty comes when you use a nested listed for the submenu which is the most accessible way of doing it. I will have to experiment a little I think.

EDIT: WP uses two seperate lists which is the easy and robust way to do it.

That first photograph worries me. Thats too many sub menu items. Narrow the width and it will fall apart. If we are going to get people extending the menus like that then the horizontal sub menu might need a rethink.

I had the same conversation with Rickard a long time ago and for some reason he wanted it as it is.

You don't. You will have to manually edit profile.php.

Why would there be?

Not true. If the DD's  or links are displaying block rather than inline it should be obvious even if there is only one item.

I'm looking at it now with 10 users online and 171 users online today and it still looks fine in all the above browsers.

Looks fine to me as well
FF2, Seamonkey, Opera 9, IE6, IE7, Safari 3 (win)

The answer to this question, the universe and everything else is, as always, 42.

That would appear to be a css problem but without a link to your forum its not possible to tell exactly where it is.

Ignore elbekko's solution. It can't work because the icon is in the same td as the forum description so it can't possibly put a border between them.

The only real solutionis to edit the files to add an extra column and put the icon in it then adjust the css appropriately. Its obvious thats what the examples you have shown have done because of the position of the column heading.

smarty's solution will work provided the forum description column has the tallest content but it requies removing the top and bottom padding from .tcl and putting it on the div .tclcon instead.

Question. What is the point of allowing somebody to register if they are not going to be allowed to read the board or do anything useful?

Or people could just delete or move the relevant bit of main.tpl if they really feel the need to.

Its for screenreaders and in fact anybody who has to navigate using the keyboard. It saves having to tab through and, in the case of screenreaders, listien to then main menu and other stuff when all they want to do is get at the main content. Its a requirement under the relevant accessibility guidelines.

The skip link has to be the first item on the page otherwise its pointless. If you have a way of preventing it being indexed I would love to hear it.

I removed those searches from search page sometime ago. Your posts, subscriptions etc is now in the about page of the profile and recent/unanswered has gone to the index page.

qubertman: the Beta you are looking at is now somewhat obsolete as far as markup is concerned, I've made a lot of improvements/fixes which haven't been committed to svn so maybe you should leave it alone until the next beta.

Smartys: please don't change any markup for a few days.

I assume Murphy's law is the American equivelant of "Sod's Law".

Since nobody is paying any attention, I will make it more emphatic just so nobody can claim they weren't warned. The next round of markup/css fixes improvements WILL trash new stylesheets and most probably any recently developed extensions.

It was probably a bad example because it wouldn't actually be quicker if you only have a couple of forums and certainly wouldn't be quicker for anybody who couldn't use a mouse.

The only area where I see any real benefit would be form validation and error message handling.

IE seems to be miscalculating widths. One reason could be that you seem to have two sets of <head> tags which is not allowed and something before the doctype declaration which again is wrong. I'm wondering if thats thrwoing IE into quirks mode.

EDIT: I just checked and even Firefox is rendering the page in quirks mode and some of hte pages don't look right. Get rid of everything before the DocType declaration and see if that helps.

It would appear to be #brdfooter. I think the negative left margin is dragging the div to the left in IE. Have you tried #brdfooter {position: relative}. What I'm looking for is any difference between your site and the preview.
