I have a question about the current layout of the forums right now and was wondering if it was just me :o
currently...i see about 10 threads to a page...and the page width is really really long, so all I can see is the title of the thread on the screen, all the other info I have to scrool right to see. it didn't always look like this...and I was just wondering if you changed it to be that way or if my browswer is just reading it stupid like....?
I changed it to read just 10 threads in hopes of getting people to read the links at the bottom of the page more often.
But I do not know why the width chaged and I hate it!!!! So if anyone can tutor me as to how to change the width, I would be ever so grateful.
Susan
I hate this new layout too- but a least it is narrower!

This lay out is absolutely horrible. It used to be good though.
I suggest you change it back to the way it was, cuz its just chaos now.
As for the writings on the right, maby u can use html tags. Like: <P align="left">TeXT</P> or something

Now the forum layout is old-school style with the paragraph indents. I prefer the forum style before it was changed to the long width/short length style.

ya...I'm not too keen on this either...mainly b/c I can't see all the responces and the thread at once anymore :o
I think the width for the table was messed up susan...so instead of it being at like 95% it looked like it was set to like 1500px....not fun...

The width change is caused by the large amount of pages this forum has, over 100 pages and they are all displayed in a table on the bottom of the site.
current html:
<a href="100523?it=14">15</a$gt;
All you need to do is tell the browser to start a new line in the following example I added the <br /> tag after the 15th page link and I would add it after the 30th, 45th and so on.
<a href="100523?it=14">15</a$gt;<br />
This could be a bit hard through because the forum is not purely html so the script that generates the page would need to be edited as for the fact that the lay out now displays the subject of each reply in the topic, is probably down to a change in the settings.
Any Ideas where to get this forum software or is it only available on network54 ?
I had just about come to the same conclusion, but there is no way to change that. So I guess I have to go back to having a large number of posts on a page and people will keep missing out on the links at the bottom.
I'm not happy!
Thanks annonymous - that worked as I assume you can see!

I would like to thankyou for running such a helpful site, It helped me with a problem I had after a little searching and I just wish I could help you in some way, I think I read something about donations, to pay for the running of the site. thanks again.

I like the current format of the forum. It's easy on the eyes and easy to navigate around. You just have to scroll down to get to the links.
