Post by meece4x4 »

Im running IE8 RC1 @ 1024x768 resolution on a leveno (yeah yeah crap i know) laptop.

Well at least the Laptop is a good one. Now just download Firefox or Seamonkey and you'll be good!

seems to have fixed the issue with scrolling on the main page thanks Mike ... however for some reason if there is a 800x600 pic in the thread (like this one) the righthand quarter of the page is cut off :shock: ...

LOL just me to run the latest beta versions of everything ... i dont think ive had a stable distro of anything EVER :mrgreen:

sort your login issue then you wont have the problem. at the moment the login block displays for non logged in users and creates that problem (one i have to fix) but if your logged in the forum uses the whole space.

Hi Mike.

logged out and logged back in again no change, heres a screen shot of the Forum @ 1024x768 with a 800x600 pic embeded into it one post below ... IE8 chops the side off the forum by the looks :?


Image
(ive reduced the screen shot to 640x480 so it doesnt cut the side off it )

cheers Mark :D

Use compatibility view (just to the right of your address bar) looks like the refresh icon with a crack through it. This will fix your issues and any other sites.

Cheers Mike
