View Full Version : Need coding help... one last page to fix

I'm almost finished with fixing some coding issues and I'm down to my last page, my forum home page. Here's the page... www.skywarnforum.org/forums

Noted problems:
- There is an extra red bar on top of the forums section
- The footer is all messed up

Since this is the only page that is messed up, am I safe to assume that it is the forumhome template that is messed up? If so, here is the coding for that...

Your footer looks messed up being because the body text color is the same as its background color.

Thanks. We're so close to having it perfect.

Edit... did you change something in the borders? Cause the Site Navigation box.. the 'Site Navigation' used to be all on one line, now it's two. Most of the text in the box is two lines instead of one, and the forum itself stretches to the right more.

The Site Navigation shows on one line for me?

Mine is two, using the same font size as it was before. I'm also not on a widescreen, which is important that it's not. The set up also requires a horizontal scroll bar, something not needed before.

EDIT: Going between the home page (www.skywarnforum.org) and the forum page you will see that the box on the left is wider on the home page (and every other page) (which is the correct size) than the forum page.

Any chance we can fix that?

Give me a snapshot of the bottom of the forum where the 5 images lined up side by side are. It's more likely than not that these are causing the horizontal scrollbar due to your low resolution.

Chimpie

The problem of the horizontal scrollbar didn't pop up until I tried the code that you provided. That's why I believe that with just a small tweak of the code we'll be finished.

There are two concerns right now... One, the smaller boxes on the left hand side. Second, the wider than normal forum section.

Fixed. PyroNET was right. It had to do with the picture hack. Taking it down to four pictures fixed the problem.
