Can you help me please?
Thank you.

bye bye

Very wide pics in the forum are going to push it too wide for the forum to contain.

It's not the text - It's the pics.

Hi,

But why does it on Postings without Pics?

Look here:
http://www.aan24.de/forum-pics/breit1_AAN.jpg
One Post without any Pic

http://www.aan24.de/forum-pics/breit2_AAN.jpg
One Reply without a pic. Only 2 Posts, no Pic.

Don't know because trying to solve code from pictures is not one of my finer points, when view-source should be available.

This link gives me no access: http://www.aan-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1989&p=42103#p42103

And the text looks like formatted blocks, can't tell - not from a picture anyway ?

So why don't you put the text / thread in a forum that is accessible to guests. ?

Hi,

thanks für the replys.

I have news. My User an I testet it. It was no Problem of any Signatur or long Text.
I have createt a Testaccount of http://www.imspinnennetz.de/

At the first visit of this (and all other) Posting is the Problem:
http://www.aan24.de/forum-pics/breit3_spinnennetz.jpg

When I Refresh (F5) or visit this Posting later all is OK:
http://www.aan24.de/forum-pics/breit4_spinnennetz.jpg

But why?

On both Forums (AAN und Spinnennetz), at the first visit the Posting is too large, at a later visit or a Refresh all OK...

No, its simple Text without any formating

My error..., sorry....

Cookies are creating the width problem until they are refreshed.

This MOD appears to be your problem because it has nowrap and the line is too long. To make it worse it's also in two sections / strings with nowrap that follow each other.

Also this code is from "Veiw Source", Your script will have VARS in it.




In the script (header / wherever) find and remove:


That should fix one problem, and you may just want to try that.

You could also add a marquee (As in the example below) to it so that it scrolls - and that should fix the width problem if it gets too long just with normal posting.





If you opt for the marquee, then note this change also: <td class="nav" >&nbsp;

Thank you for your answer!

I have only one problem. I don´t find this code in any of the files of the two styles.
Do I make a mistake thinking?

Would nice if you give me a little more thought might give in whatever file I must change the code.

Have many times already, thanks!

... I hope you can reasonably understand my English ...

I have no idea what the MOD is, who made it or how it was added to your forum.

I can only suggest (with my very limited knowledge of phpBB3) that you look in viewforum_body.html

Or seek help from the MOD author.

Hello,

I'm just trying times.
I have a new Testforum at http://www.imspinnennetz.de/phpbb3.
I have a new database.
I have an original style phpbb3.0.1 and BlackPearl_phpbb3_1_2_9 added.
No mods and no changes incorporated.
And the bug is still there. So it can only to the style. Is this perhaps a mistake not yet noticed?

My test in a new forum. A posting is imported and the window is too great:
http://www.aan24.de/forum-pics/forum_nackt1.jpg

I go again for new or press Refresh. And the window is now in the right size.

You may like to test times:

Hope you can help me....
Thanks a lot!!!!!

Sorry Piet,

I thought it was a MOD that had been added to the themes.

I know where the problem is and there is two ways to fix it. Split the TWO <td's> in the line into two lines or modify and Marquee the whole <td> string.

Replace the file in the .zip and test with IE - if you're happy with that - Then it will have to re-written with some javascript so that the marquee stops and starts with mouseover, controls the speed and to make it work with FF and Opera also.

Else it will need to be split into two lines.

Piet, I installed phpBB3 on localhost and have come to the conclusion that the table is not wide enough to accommodate the length of the German Language strings. Particularly since I found out that the last two strings are "Previous and Next" Thread. So you can't scroll them.

The template needs modifying - And sorry I'm not into modding phpBB3 templates and don't wish to learn any more about phpBB3 than what I already have. (Which equates to about nothing) So you will have to wait for someone else to help you - or wait even longer for MG to take a look at it.

In the pic is the "Bump" string - It looked OK until then

Hello,

Many thanks for your answer.
Now I see where exactly the problem.

Then werd times I hope that someone help me with the problem can help. Perhaps the MG thing even look at.

I will just patiently wait and hope.

Have a nice evening.

I guess the only way is to use smaller strings...

Hi MG,

Piet, possibly another way is to use the images as the anchor and the text as the alt="". I don't know if it can be done because I no longer have pbpBB3 on the box, or whether the VARS that phpBB3 uses will allow it.

BUT! If you are happy with that idea and want to use it, I will reinstall phpBB3 - test it out and let you know.

Please let me know if that's what you would like to do or not.

Icons look like this:


You can just replace the TEXT with a title to be seen on mouse hover (similar to what Lopalong is suggesting)...

Hello people,

And it works!
