Delete button clipped on forum postings

Post by Jean-Yves »

Hi,

Just to let you know: on my setup (Win2000, 1024x768, Mozilla 1.5), the Delete button is barely showing on posts in the forums. I can just see the "X" of the button graphic, the rest is off the screen, and there is no horizontal scroll bar to see if anything else comes after that.

Not complaining, just letting you know :wink:

That's pretty strange, I'm using Moz Firebird 0.7 (on the same OS and screen res) and haven't had a prob. I'll install Moz proper on my PC at home though to give the site a test.

Have you had any probs with other PHPBB sites, cause we've got a pretty vanilla template running things?

Ta for the heads up,

Mac

Yeah, somehow for me too. Although it's not "that" bad. I still can see 1/2 of the delete button O_o. I'm on Mozilla 1.5 (the whole thing) not only firebird. Happens both on XP and RedHat.

I've not tested other phpbb sites though.

strange, mozilla 1.5 here and I can see complete delete-buttons for every post :twisted:
A friend of mine used a sidebar that lists all anchors and links in a page and highlights them if you wish. It had a similar effect on some elements. Any plugins on your side?

Just checked another site where I had a post (the maguma support forums), and it's displaying ok there, though they are using a different template I think.

I don't have any sidebars showing or special plug-ins, and the browser is maximised. I'm using the "Modern" theme, if that makes a difference.

Hope that helps.

I'm on Firebird (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7) on Win2k at 1024x768 and the "QUOTE" button is clipped after the last letter. I don't see the "X" delete button at all.

EDIT: Actually, since you only see the "X" on your own posts, the "X" does get clipped partially. It appears that the furthest right image gets a little clipped.

I'll second that - it's happening here too.
