Formatting issues

[Marf]

It seems the formatting of pages is different depending on whether you are viewing an individual forum or a forum group

forum view


forum group view


So group view does not put in a carriage return for long thread names, which buggers up the sideways formatting

Well spotted, I've fixed it and it will go live in the next update.

[Marf]

Awesome, thanks Will, been a bugbear of mine for a while now!

[Marf]

Bump! When's the next update due?

Odd, still doing it for me. Page 4 of the Pie and Piston forum group as an example

Can you screenshot it for me? The page numbers should all be below the title on that page now.

Give me your e-mail address Will, I cant access photobucket or thumbsnap at work.

On its way

[Mr Will]

Got it, It's very long titles which are the problem. The page numbers have moved below correctly, but the titles intentionally don't wrap.

Do you have a particularly small screen?

2 x 1280*1024, so pretty small in the grand scheme of things. I dont get this problem on my home laptop which is 1680*1050, I guess because its much wider.

It should fit fine on that size (and indeed smaller). Have you zoomed in on your browser? (Try pressing Ctrl+0)

[Marf]

Yeah looks like its a zoom issue, with zero zoom the text is small enough that its not an issue, but not large enough for my mole like eyes to read

Cheers Will.

Ideally the title would be allowed to wrap to cater for situations like this, but unfortunately most browsers prefer to wrap the title and leave the forum name full width, which is worse than the current situation.


At least we've got to the bottom of it though, if there is anything else I can do then just let me know.

Cool will do
