What happened to the forum? Did it lose some weight?

[Artlav]

Unless my memory tricks me, the forum was full-screen a few days ago, but now it's a thin ribbon in the middle of the screen. Looks very unnatural.

Anyone else is getting that problem?
If so, is it being worked on, or is that something intentional?

[ElektroQuark]

No ribbons here.

Check the screen magnifier setting in your browser.  I don't have the delft touch I used to have and the pad is getting worn out.  My finger will lightly rest on the touch pad and web pages will change as I am writing a post, screen sizes will change and a whole lot of annoying crap will happen.  Like to disable everything but the basics.

I noticed the same thing a week or so ago, thought it was either by design or something to do with the last two Firefox updates, but nope..  IE shows pages in the same way.  Can't say it bothers me though.

I get something probably related: the forum is now fixed width whereas before it used whatever your browser window width was. So now, using the same browser window size as beofre, I either lose the right side of the posts or I can see all the text but not who was posting.

No idea why anyone thinks fixed width is a good idea. Just shows a lack of understanding that whatever the developer/author uses isn't what world+dog uses.

Indeed, the forum is still fixed-width. Despite even Dave agreeing that it's bad, his web kiddies have apparently still not corrected it.

Anyone who thinks it's not a narrow ribbon - try a larger monitor.

The problem is in /forum/Themes/default/css/index.css  :

Code: [Select]

div#wrapper {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 1045px; <-----
    min-width: 1045px; <-----
}

Delete or comment out those , refresh the page and the forum should now be full window width.

Blinding. Works just like you say

Is there a way to have this automatically override all pages (under firefox)? I am not a web developer so know nothing of this stuff.

Indeed! In the profile directory, create a directory 'chrome' if it doesn't already exists, and in there create userContent.css (if that doesn't already exist). In userContent.css add:

Code: [Select]

@-moz-document domain(eevblog.com) {

div#wrapper {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 1045px;
    min-width: 800px !important;
}
}
Restart Firefox and job's a good'un. This example sets a new minimum 'cos that's what bugs me, and you could do the same for the max. Maybe someone with a clue can say how to remove those two altogether...

OK, I've removed those lines. Still the same for me.

I still see them in the page's code.
Maybe you didn't remove it in every place?
Search all files for "This division wraps the entire forum when a forum width is set.", the problem should be below it.

[ivaylo]

Still the same for me.

Now delete your browser's cache (different browsers do it differently, find the settings for yours).

[mariush]

Keep Shift pressed and click on the reload page button (or Shift+F5), that should work with most browsers, forces them to reload all resources (html, stylesheets, javascript, images), ignoring cache..\

[Artlav]

Looks good now, thanks! 

[Zero999]

Looks good to me too.

Blinding, thanks very much
