"Announcement" causes side scrolling.

[SPeedY_B]

The "Site Announcement" at the top of the page causes side scrolling when using a small browser window (and I supposed it affects them strange folk in wierdly small resolutions too)

Not entirely sure what can be done to fix it, just thought I'd be annoying and mention it

You using a resolution of 1024x768 or greater?

 

[SPeedY_B]

Oops, forgot I made this, and yes, I'm using 1680x1050. But I don't like to have my browser maximised. What's the point in a multi process environment with windowing capabilities if you're just going to hog the screen with one window, may as well use dos

 

[Electronic Punk]

Cos OSNN is more important than everything else.

Seriously tho, I have a resolution that I will put into practice at the same time as when I get what I am gonna do to the frontpage done.

 

[SPeedY_B]

An example: side scrolling

(edit) beat me to it.
You can see though that it's only a part of the google ad and the announcement that scrolls of screen, the actual site itself actually adjusts to the window, so it's not actually a major problem, just an annoyance

/me blesses his Firefox Web Developer extension which allows him to auto size his browser window to 1024x768

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, my plan is now to eliminate sidescrolling even for the peasants that use 800x600. That is for the forums and the frontpage.

If you actually look at the frontpage.
The only theme is currently called Orbitz 1024x768

This should give you a hint at what my plan is.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Might need that extention geffy. tho i might just change my res so I can "feel" what they feel.

Bless their cotton socks.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Done. I notice a line between the logo and the background of the adjacent table row tho... gonna try and fix that.

Currently browsing the forums at 800x600 ... lol

 

[Electronic Punk]

Sorted. The forums are now accessible to users at a resolution of 800x600 and above!!

 

[gonaads]

And now for his next trick...

Looks good, have we mentioned the (extra) line break between the horizontal line and the first news/forum title before?

e.g.

[Evil Marge]

Me neither

 

[SPeedY_B]

Aah, just tried it in other browsers, seems it's just a case of safari being an ****.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Safari can off sod then

 

[SPeedY_B]

Yip
It's more KHTML (the Konqurer rendering engine) than Safari, either way, I'll slap a bug report at Apple, they've fixed numerous thing's I've sent before
