UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration Forums breaking out of a table...

I have a right-hand menu bar in my forums. That is the first cell of a table that fills the whole screen, where the forums are in the second cell. When I use the stylesheets that come with UBB.Threads, the forums fit perfectly into the second cell. However when I use some stylesheets I downloaded here (plum, rose, sandstone and template), the forums are bigger and extend past the end of the screen and a scroll bar appears on the bottom of the screen to scroll right-left. I hate that and want it to fit like the other stylesheets. Any ideas on why this is happening?

I was able to fix it sort-of by upping my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. It fits well then, but what about users who are still using 800x600? I also prefer 800x600 as it is. Any suggestions would be appreciated

If you could provide an URL I'll have a look. Possibly text size? I don't really know off hand. Perhaps Allen may have a better idea with the style sheets.

Here is a forum that's stays fits the screen right, using one of Infopop's original stylesheets; desert:

Here is one using the sandstone stylesheet, which was used here at Threadsdev.com and was available for download:

Here's another I downloaded from Threadsdev.com: khaki:

The ones that aren't included with threads for some reason are too large when I have the left-hand menu bar, but the Infopop ones work just fine. I wish I knew why. Maybe Infopop could take a look + include these styelsheets that are for download here (khaki, plum, rose, template) in the official version

If you look at the size of the drop down menus at the bottom of the pages located in the "Jump To" section in the center of the "Extra information" table you will notice that the pages that are to large have some board titles that are quite long. If you shorten these titles to something no bigger than the longest one in the first page you refer to as looking/working the way you want I'll bet that the other pages with the different style sheets will look/work the way you want them to also.


Hope that helped.

We'll see. Instead of editing all the forum titles, first I'll test your theory out by simply commenting the jump boxes out of the postlist and showflat templates. Nobody ever uses them anyways.

Thanks so much, Dave. I've removed the jumpboxes from my boards and now all the stylesheets are working correctly!
EDIT: Much easier than editing forum names anyways
