I have the following problem, that might be a bug:



If i have wide pictures in my posts, this happens...

There is a section where colspans are defined:

if (AdminAllowed = 1) and (maxpages > 1) then
				Response.Write	(" colspan=""3"" ")
			else
				Response.Write	(" colspan=""2"" ")
			end if


But it doesnt seem to work correctly - or am i wrong?

Can we have a link to your forum to see for ourselves? Does it happen with normal members?

that is the correct behavior, the table that the "Next topic/Prev Topic" link is in is separate from the table where the posts are.

It's a closed forum, so i cannot link to the site... :(

Well, this picture might help a bit (in the explanation):

This is the actual screen:


This is what i really would like:



When browsing as a normal user, the column stops at the "page 2 of 2" (as we've all guessed)

Can you help me with this one?

Do you have any MODs installed? (Like maybe Avatar?) It might be that you have made a mistake in modifying topic.asp if that is the case. If you like, you can post a link to a text version of topic.asp for us to look at.

I've installed the Avatar MOD (it's quoted where in the topic.asp file), but i can't see problems with it...

Here's the file:

Yes, i did that. Well, don't know if it's a wrong section, but HOW do i make the "page x of x" and the "admin options" span as stated in the last picture above?

you'd have to modify quite a bit, because they are in separate tables so that it would not do that.

Richard, I don't think he's talking about the "Previous Page" link, if that's what you are thinking. Seems like he's more concerned that the posts do not span the length of that main table. I'm thinking that when he installed the Avatar mod, that mistakes were made. Of course, I might be missing the point too!

ovi, Does this happen when you post text within the [code] tags that have very long lines in them? I haven't time right now to look at it, but maybe in a few hours if no one else has.

ovi, can you do a view source on the page you have pictured above, save it and post a link to it here?

Nevermind, the same thing happens here. Take a look at this topic: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33715&whichpage=5 you'll see how using the code tages will produce the same results.

This looks similar to the same issue I had brought up a long time ago as a possible bug, but I thought it was only occuring on Mac IE.

It's caused, I think, by a combination of using 100% for the Topic width and the colspan. If you take out the width specification on the cells in the second column (the Topic cell) on the first and last rows, then you don't get that gap.

It's just aesthetics is all. If you have a large image or use code tags, such that there is a horizontal scroll, the post's text doesn't actually span all the way to the right of the table. Instead, it ends right before the Page Nav column. My previous post explains why I think it is happening, but I'm not sure there's an easy fix without changing the look of the first and last rows on that table.
