Help needed, problem with thread show edages

[Habboubih]

hello

I recently changed the design of my vbulletin and i've set the width of the forum to be 1000px

using and external CSS file.

every thing seems fine but when viewing a thread, the width goes longer that it is set.

see example:



please be informed that this problem only when viewing threads. all other pages seems fine

Thank you

You probably have something else in the showthread page that is pushing out the width. We really can't tell what is it from an image. You can try disabling your mods, to see if it's a mod.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

No it is not Mod,

i have edited the config file to see if it is a mod, but it is not...

any other idea ?

Then it is something in your template. Get the firebug addon for firefox (or another web developer addon) and it should help you trace what the problem is. If you don't use one of those, you will have to chase it through looking at the css classes and widths of the tables/divs.

if you post a link to the forum it will be easy to troubleshoot that way and also if you have to be logged in or not.

OK .. here is an example:

Here are a couple of things I see right off the bat. Again, I strongly urge you to get some sort of web developer toolbar if you are going to chase classes/styling on a site:
- the css for the div your posts are in is not written int he same way the others are written.
example

.header_middle {-moz-background-clip:border;-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;-moz-background-origin:padding;background:transparent url(http://www.farfosh.com/style/images/side_edges.png) repeat-y scroll center top;height:181px;padding-left:14px;padding-right:14px;}

You don't have anything like that written for your posts div. Each of those other divs also has similar styling for the divs within, but you have nothing like that for your posts divs.

- in your posts div, you have another div in there where the width is set to 100%. Your other divs are set to 978px. That is what pushes it out.
