Raybo: I edited my earlier post. Did you try the fix?

Raybo. Thanks for the kind words. First of all it's great news that it's working in IE5.1Mac at all. Two font-sizes are being used. A size of 10px is being sent to non-IE browsers that support zooming pixel font-sizes. This is the same size as v.1.1.5. A percentage font-size is being sent to IE which now means that text can be zoomed in IEWin. Obviously it is this percentage that causes problems in IE5Mac.  Bascially what we have is an improvement for 60% of users at the expense of 0.6% of users. I could try reworking the font-sizes in the stylesheet to send a different size to IE5Mac. If I come up with something could you test it? One thing I cannot do is differentiate between IE5.1 and IE5.2.

EDIT

Raybo. Could you try this

Go to line 23 of Oxygen.css and substitute the following

/* IEWin Font Size \*/
* HTML BODY {FONT-SIZE: 65%}
/* End of IEWin Font Size */

This should'nt increase the font-size in IE5.2Mac but hopefully it should make IE5.1 and IE5.2 look the same.

EDIT AGAIN

Actaully, it should make both versions of IE look the same as firefox.

There will be a guide to the css but I'm not going to do it until everything is absolutely finalised; I have a serious aversion to doing things twice.

NOTE: Would anybody posting about bugs/problems with the markup or css please be sure to say which browsers and operating systems they have used for testing.

I'm not sure what you're saying. I'm guessing "current version" is the one just released (i.e. the beta), but then your post doesn't make sense.

By current he means 1.1.5. He wants the author column back in viewforum. I can now add speaking Swedeglish to my skills.

Oops. There were some very last minute changes. Something obviously get missed out. Fixed now.

From a validation point of view the biggest problem isn't going to be end users, it's admins writting rubbish in the announcement box which will break validation on every single page.

It's not a problem provided you dont display the w3c button. If you do some uber geek is going to haul you over the coals. I think the best any cms system can do is advertise itself as being valid XHTML 1.0 Strict "out of the box".

Intesting. I am going to have to do some tests. I'm sure that I managed to kill validation by posting xhtml between the code tags. I just can't remember what it was that I posted. In fact I think it was a chunk of php which I post with xhtml embedded within it. I just wish I could remember what it was.

The bad news is that there is no way to prevent users from entering crud and breaking validation. Just enter some rubbish xhtml between code tags and the validator will choke. It doesn't know the difference between application markup and content. The same goes for malformed xhtml in the announcement box.

There is an option for admins to enable/disable bbcode in signatures in Admin/Permissions.

As far as I know IE ignores mime types set elsewhere and always does its own thing. Wouldn't the easiest thing be to zip the file in the first place.

Admin>option sets the default style which guests will see and which new members will get.

Try changing the style in your user profile. I bet it is still set to Oxygen.

That certainly looks like either a knowledgebase system or a faq with comments system. In any case, why a whole forum for earch term. Why not have forums divided up alphabetically and then have each term as a topic in the appropriate forum.

The board looks the same (or close enough) in the following browsers
- IE5Win
- IE6Win
- Gecko (Firefox, Moz, Nutscrape)
- Opera
- Safari 1.2
- IE5.2Mac (subject to further testing)

Styling tags sounds fine in practice but it has it's problems. The same tag can take on different styles in different parts of the board. That means using descendant selectors which requires id's or classes on higher level containers. And what if you have the same tag within a container at the same level eg. <div><p></p><p></p></div> and you want to style the <p>'s differently, you require one of them to have a class.

Of course it can be simplified considerably but you end up with a design that is no more flexible than the current version. You also end up with a design which is a compromise; if you want everything to appear exactly as intended then you need to the markup and classes/id's to work with.

You will however be pleased to know that I have spent the last week rewriting the css and making alterations to the XHTML which will hopefully make the design even more flexible and simplify the css.

PunBB is not connected with blog:cms it's just that the developer of blog:cms is using PunBB as the forum component. This is something you should take up with him.

As far as I can see the most important thing was to implement forum permissions which has now been done. Any forum could serve as a newsfeed simply by setting its permissions.

I would rather see a seperate script which could simply use PunBB's database. I really don't see that including a news widget as part of PunBB is necessary.

Yes there is a fix. I did see a really good tutorial about transparency in IE, I will have to look it up.
