Hi Andy,

Overnight the screen image for thread posts 'shrunk' and 'recent posts' appeared to the right again with several cms of blank space to the left and to the right. Yesterday the posts stretched the width of the screen.

The thread content is about 10 cm wide with the text portion 6cm wide. 

Wondering if this is temporary?  Platform is firefox on Windows pc.

Cheers

...and just noticed that the edit options have disappeared, even with the 'Bookmarks' Sidebar removed.

We had to do a rollback of sorts and some of the changes/improvements I've made in the past few days were wiped. I've tried to replicate most but was only going of memory. Can you clarify what you mean by this?

I like what you've done with the place. Smoother and crisper.

Yes, thank you - the blank side spaces are gone   Still get Demonland ads and the 'Recent Posts' on the right side, when in threads but can live with those.

When the 'Bookmarks' side bar view is 'on' in firefox I see limited edit options eg font size, font colour, indents etc are missing.

When I turn off the side bar they magically appear (most of the time).

I can live with that also.

 

 

Just for interest, for a few days, the thread text spread across the screen without DL ads/Recent Posts and the full set of edit options were available regardless of the Bookmarks view on/off.

Cheers,

Those Demonland Ads and Recent posts are supposed to be there. The Ads are not the same ads that you get when not a life or annual member. These ads are Demonland ads asking people who have been generous in the past to help Demonland out occasionally by buying some cool merchandise or donating. None of it is mandatory as you have already been very generous. If you were not a life member you would have a huge skyscraper ad running down that side. It also displays recent posts as a shortcut for people.

I assume this is the forum software adjusting the number of editing options available in the text box where you write posts depending on screen real estate available. It is impossible for me to know everyones screens sizes and their browser preferences and habits. I selfishly just make sure that I am looked after in that department.

We had to arrange and rearrange the furniture in here a few times since the new software, the website shitting it's pants and then putting it all back together again and starting from scratch.

I'll still be tweaking things in the coming days and weeks.

It's a work in progress and I'm always learning new things, !@#$%ing up and starting again. I'm never satisfied.

Has the new software excluded Prodee?

Haven't seen him around since.

Still no coincidences Andy?

Sorry to be a bother...the blank space on both sides is back again today...

...do other people with firefox see the same or is it something about the settings on my version?

Thanks again for all your work.
