Fixed - Cant see all text on some threads

#1 I was able to repro this as well in this thread.

-Unk

#2 This happens on IE 6.x (maybe other browsers, too), whenever images are present and the width of the image is greater than the new fixed-width version of the forums. Just adding some extra details to help diagnose the problem.

#3 Ouch.
happens for me on that first thread too.
Firefox 1.5, winXP.

One crumby work-around if you Really Really want to read the text
is to copy-n-paste into notepad.

#4 In the file /css/fixed/container.css, line 47, the content box is set to a fixed width, and the overflow is set to hidden.

Anything that pushes the width of the forum posts beyond the page width will cause this. Long URLs will probably cause this problem too.

Fortunately, I have a simple solution. Enclose the text of each forum post in a div, set its width to a fixed 710px (or thereabouts), and set the overflow to auto. Now when a post becomes too wide, that post alone will be horizontally scrollable.

#5 Me too.
Firefox 1.0.6 and Win XP same with IE

Screen Res = 1024 X 768

#6 Fixed. Images and code blocks now scroll if too large.

#7 Images scroll now, but code blocks still don't in Konqueror (version 3.4.3).

edit: testing a long url: -removed for now-

edit: long urls still break the page too.

#8 Can you post a link to a code block that does not scroll.

#9 www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=26109
Here's one that's large enough to break the page on my system. But I'm using 8pt fonts at ~120 dpi (larger fonts than default Windows, I think).

Mozilla scrolles the code blocks, but Konqueror does not. If the width of the .codeblock class is fixed, or if the post body is enclosed in a fixed width div, then the code blocks will scroll fine.

#10 www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=10880
Another thread with large codeblocks.

#11 This thread is another one.

#12 I'm also getting the bottom of my pages cut off, the portion with the Pre,pageNNN,Next links missing?!? A refresh of the page fixes it, also seems to be the same with the Community 'Threads' frame/container...the bottom link is usually half buried by the outline of the frame...?!?

#13 Here's a really simple example of the issue,
just text, no images or codeblocks or anything -

#14 I just refired EI instead of FireFox...and all the cut-off weirdness seemed to go away...?!

#15 FYI, still doesn't work in in the Opera browser :(

#16 RE: Orion's screenshot: That's because of the long line with the url. Long lines of text with no spaces (typical for urls) will break the page.

#17 www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=37636

Still happening to me. The link above cuts it off. WinXP Firefox 1.5 screen Res 1024 X 768

As stated above it works for me with IE just not Firefox

#18 Few changes again, please report any problem links.

#19 The code blocks are fixed! Thank you.

But, what happened to the vertical spacing between the posts? It's much harder to read the thread now.

As for the URLs, I see you solved that problem by automatically clipping them. That's great, but it seems to work only for [ url ] tags. Long text without those tags still breaks, I'm sorry to say. Example
