PM template too wide

[sumacbob]

I`ve put together a simple fixed width template. Everything looks fine, until tonight when I checked my pm`s and noticed the whole PM template breaks out to the right.

Within the CP the layout is fine, even viewing the main PM page (private.php) it doesn`t break. It does however break out when viewing the PM`s and also when writing or replying to a PM.

Not sure where I should be looking to remedy this?

Thanks.

Is it the smilies that are making it break out?

I found I had to play around with the templates to make the smilies appear BELOW the editor box in a fixed width style.

I don`t think so. Just viewing the private messages causes it to break out, without any smilies appearing.

Hmm that's trickier to pin down without seeing it, but if it's viewing an actual PM that is controlled by the postbit or postbit_legacy templates.

One possible thing, if you're using postbit (with avatar/username on top) is that if there's a lot of information in that top box, it could push the table out.

If that's the case, an IS_SCRIPT conditional on private.php can rearrange or reduce the amount of info that shows in PMs.

Are you using the "scroll on large images" mod? If so, change the CSS element's width to a percentage.

Yes, the scroll mod is causing the problem.

If I change the width to percentage, it does indeed bring the PM display back into the proper layout, however those oversize images which the mod is intended to overflow/scroll are now breaking the layout.

Set the width to a percentage (I like 99%), and set the height (if any) to a number.
