Page boxes cutting off subject line

Post by Jimr »

The page boxes, hugging the upper delimiter separating threads, is cutting off much of the subject line. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to force it to hug the lower delimiter?

Still working on the redesign, so there will be short-term issues from time to time. Here's the announcement: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12221

If still a problem, please flush your browser cache and reload the page. If still a problem, please let me know what operating system, browser and screen resolution you are using so I can address the issue.

Thanks for the info, Jimr. Not judging! lol

This is helpful to testing out different browsing configurations. We'll work on this issue. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and for being patient while we work through these things.

FYI. Tested on Firefox 35.1 and 36 with Windows 7 and looks fine. Wondering if this might be an XP issue, Jimr. You probably know this...but right now <25% of worldwide users are running XP and dropping fast since MS discontinued support for the 13 year-old OS almost a year ago. That percentage is substantially lower in the US. Understand that for a US-based website of our modest size at some point designing around XP becomes a de minimis endeavor, however, for your sake and as someone we'd really like to keep around I will continue to look for a solution while we are under the hood. :thumbsup:

I see the same thing Jimr does on an XP at work, but not on my Mac at home.
The Mac also has a noticeable whiter, brighter background.

That's because we've seen the light.

My IT dept. are cheap arses. You wouldn't believe how much VBA I have programmed for Excel 2000. I'll check tonight on my home machine running 8.1.

I'd stick around regardless :cool:

It's fine from home. Heck, maybe it's not worth the effort.
