Thanks for the new board

Submitted by bass on November 14, 2005 - 9:42am.

Thanks for the new board, would have really missed
someplace to vent. Here's my problem: the text box
runs into the links and ads on the right side, making
it impossible to see what I'm typing in that space.
Is this something I can fix in my settings? Or do I
just need to hit return at the end of the line, like
I did for this reply?

the fix for textbox display

Bass,

decrease the size of your monospace font.

Tools->options->content->
  --->the advanced tab under fonts and colors
    --->monospace size

I need to use 14 or less for the text box to render completely in the middle division

Textbox display

I also get a text box that extends under the right column. It is kind of irritating.

Using Win2k/patches current - firefox 1.5

The problem is not replicated using IE6.0.2800.1106, but that is not my browser of choice. My guess is either invalid xhtml code, or css that isn't cross-browser compatible.

The worst of it is that the new firefox version didn't allow me to keep an extension which let me remove objects on a page arbitrarily, and I cannot remove the right-side division when commenting.

cheers - h_m

Had some problems re-doing my sign-in & 'new' password, and am amazed at even being allowed IN here again...this has been a lively and informative place for a nice long time, so let's hope the new format will lure in some more highly opinionated smart folks. We're needed badly, right? Riiiiiight!

I'm beginning to think no one is even reading this board and the posts if the lack of replies, even negative responses, mean anything.

Browser troubles?

Submitted by ahapxnct on December 2, 2005 - 3:08am.

I'm using Win2000, Firefox 1.5 right now and have no problems with an overextended textbox.

Judging by the date you guys posted, I'd say you were using a FF1.5 release candidate. Perhaps, if you go get the official release it will be fixed?

no, but that info helps a bit

Submitted by Hugh Manatee on December 5, 2005 - 6:10am.

Nope, i pulled my firefox 1.5 almost as soon as it was available for download, but that data helps a bit.

what does the client string say?
it's the last string under the tab
help --> About Mozilla Firefox

mine is

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

here's a scaled down screenshot.

it could also have to do with my default font-size or font-family under options. I'll change mine around a bit.

===============

it's font-size. with my browser the monospace font over several different types had to be 14 or less, but that may vary with different screen resolutions. i'd forgotten what a pain in the ass text-boxes are. I seldom use them.

the textarea element is set at 70 columns, and the middle division (main-content) is about 650px wide on my screen
