How to correct the screen size?

[PassLab.net]

Since I have upgraded to 3.6, I have this problem with the screen size. Everything looks okay on the forum but when someone enters in to the thread, it shows up as in the following picture. I want 'em to be even.



How can I fix this?

Thanks a lot

I was just coming here to post the exact same guestion. Right after the upgrade the width of the middle section is smaller than what's above and below it. Help?

I think that has to do with the "spacer_open" and "spacer_close" codes in postbit or postbit_legacy templates. If you're using a Style that is not vB 3.6.0 specific you may run into display and functional problems. It's recommended to revert the templates (as indicated in the vB release thread).

I reverted the templates that the control panel kept giving to me, and the problem still exists. I only have the default style... no additonal styles have been added.

What happens if you remove the codes ("$spacer_close" and "$spacer_open") in the SHOWTHREAD template?

<!-- end content table -->
$spacer_close
<!-- / end content table -->

and

<!-- start content table -->
$spacer_open
<!-- / start content table -->

The only reason that this would occur is if you have not reverted your postbit template on upgrading to 3.6.0

Due to the number of templates that have changed between 3.5.x and 3.6.0 it is recommended that you revert all templates for your style as this fixes issues such as this one and ensures that all the new 3.6.x features work.

Of course you can manually edit each template to ensure that it works on 3.6.0, but this can be a long winded job and unless you are very familiar with the templates, it is not something that can be done easily and can cause a lot of confusion.

Really, the approach that you take depends on how modified your templates are to start with. If they are minimally modified then you can revert and reapply any modifications a lot easier than doing all the upgrades manually for each one. However, if they are extensivly modified, then it can be as quick, if not quicker, to upgrade the templates by applying all the changes by hand.
