Icy Phoenix

I noticed the number on the Menu is slightly below the text in Chrome & Safari Web Browsers for Black Pearl. I looked at the menu block in template and can't see the problem. Safari is just like Chrome. How do I fix that?

Are you using IcyPhoenix or phpBB3?

I'm using phpBB3 and I just noticed I put it in the wrong forum! Sorry about that, I was trying to post this before running an errand. Please move it to the phpBB3 forum. Thanks

done :D

Hi and welcome to icyhoenix,

well looking at your top picture you got a worse case ..or does my menubar look the same to you in safari? (see sig for link), i think my safari shows it a bit off too but not this much

if it looks equal it may be in the browser settings, i m not sure

Here's the website so you can take a look: Sony Reader Forum

Hi again Lilly ( i asume :wink: ),

I completely overlooked the fact that to view that you need to be registered and logged in :LOL: :LOL:

anyway i did some searching and experimenting on my own board (where it did not look as bad as in you pic) and you could try something, however i did not test this fully in all browsers but i gave it a quicky


in the language files common.php find :

replace with:



and find:

and replace with:


then fully test it and let me know cause i'm curious too :mrorange:

GoodLuck,

Maybe you could also try adding this to the style.css so that Chrome doesn't have to use its own rendition of <strong etc.

strong, b {
font-weight: bold;
}

It's worth a try - Because there are lots of things that Chrome doesn't handle very well?

I tried both methods and Joshua203 suggestion of removing the strong tags seems to fix the problem.

the funny thng is these strong tags are used all over the place

for instance .. index page at the bottom ... "the newest member is <strong>NAME OF USER</strong>

and here it causes no trouble at all as far as i can see anyway

I would be inclined to remove the spaces and test this to see if it keeps the 0 bold and aligns the string?

But I neither use phpBB3 or Chrome. :mryellow:

<strong>0</strong>&nbsp;New Private

<strong>%d</strong>&nbsp;New Private
</strong>%d</strong>&nbsp;New Private

Other than that - Whatever it is, it's not obvious in the script? :(

to be honest i don t even see the difference between a strong 0 and one with the removed tags :oops:

but i will probably try the space replacement you suggest too Mort ..just not today :LOL: thanks

FYI ... the &nbsp; does not do the trick either :wink:

Thanks Joshua203,

My results are as follows:

1. Reviewing some of my uploaded 48 languages I found that at least several of those language files have the same problem.

2. Searching for the string "'<strong>0</strong> " I found 95 hits in 48 languages, all in their respective common.php files. Not quite half of them pertaining to "'NO_NEW_PM' => '<strong>0</strong>" and not quite half of them pertaining to "'NO_UNREAD_PM' => '<strong>0</strong> "... In addition the same strings were found 4 more times in the eu language folder, and 3 more times in the fr and he language folders, and a total of 8 times in the vi language folder.

3. I replaced all 95 instances of "'<strong>0</strong> " with "'0 "

4. Similarly I found and replaced 192 items of "'<strong>%d</strong>" with "'%d". This replacement included not only the respective common.php files, but also a few odd install.php files, a few MCP.php files, and a few viewtopic.php files.

5. A total of 52 files were affected by the above edits. They were all uploaded to their respective folders...

6. The above procedure seems to be successful so far as I can tell after double checking a handful of languages...

7. Thanks for your help and assistance in getting the above bug taken care of...

8. Just curious though, and seeing that the above thread is well over a year old while Black Pearl is listed as last updated on Jan 21, 2012, Why is it that these fixes have not been included in that last update as posted at http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/black_pearl/ ??? :oops:


Shalom

Well I think you went a little overboard there, I don't think using strong tags causes a problem in every instance, and sometimes strong is nice :wink:

I've never noticed or heard of any other than the mainbar problem in only Google Chrome & Safari.

I think it's just been overlooked, maybe I should've mentioned it to Mighty Gordon right before the last releases :oops:

Anyway glad you fixed it your way :mrblue:
