Having the same problems as everyone else. I'm using an iMac with OS X and IE 5.1. I don't know how to give you a screen shot either. I figured it was one of the "graphics issues" you hadn't worked out yet. Let us know if you need anything done on our end.

Peace-

I get teh exact same problem too.. Infact, on my first visit to the new TB when loading a post it took me about 5 minutes tofigure out that I had to scroll to find the posts! I even tried toggling the 'thread display' settings and even refreshed teh page once or twice...until I noticed a scroll bar on the right! ;)

I would atatch an image but it's exactly the same as the one above..if ya need another just say.

Apple(CMD)+shift+3 = entire screenshot
Apple+shift+5= selectable screen shot

I think there is a way to do it of just the window you are in too, but it slips my mind at the moment

edit, then upload the picture here, you'll need to convert it to jpg too, graphic converter is bundled with the panther I think, if not, you can download it from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com

I have IE 5.00 at work. It is certified to work with our necessary web based applications. IE 6 is not. We are not allowed to upgrade any of the base software on our workstations.

So you see, this isn't an option for me at work.

At home, I am running Windoze XP Pro and IE 6. No problems with that.

IE 5.5 at home is unsat.

I think I fixed it. IE 5.x users, let me know how it looks now. I'm crossing my fingers here - just spend 6 hours hacking through php code :(

Is the side-scrolling a new problem? The change I made should not have stretched out the screen any more... What screen resolution do you use (800x600?) Also, what browser version are you using?

I'm running IE 5.1 on an iMac with Mac OS X, screen resolution is 800x600, and the side-scrolling was only ever an issue (before) when someone had a large pic or attachment in the thread. I've had to side-scroll since the up-date, including now with the fix. It's not a huge deal and for some reason it's not happening to me in this thread (???)!

Win2KPro, IE 5.0, a glass of port. Looks good to me. No side-to-side scrolling, either.

Thanks for the fix, Paul!

Yes - today it seems to be fine - yesterday I was finding it slow-going and things kept changing back and forwards between views.

But the bugs seem to be gone now - thanks a lot Paul - hopefully this will mean that it works for everybody!! :)

Paul-

I might have figured something out that could direct you toward the problem. I'm still having to side-scroll but only when I log onto the sight through the home page (FWIW I stay logged in and have TB bookmarked in my "favorites").

In contrast; If I follow the link in the e-mails I get in reply to my posts, I don't have to side-scroll (even if it's the same thread I'm looking at!). For some reason the side-scrolling is only happening when I log onto the site through normal channels and not through the e-mail reply links.

Maybe this will narrow things down for you. Here are the exact links to a few threads. The first one is from the e-mail, the second through logging in-

The side-scrolling issue I've been having is now worse. It happens on both the e-mail links and through logging in. It is worse in the respect that I now have to scroll side to side to read an entire post as it doesn't fit in the box on the screen.

:help:

Anyone else with side-scrolling issues, or is this an isolated occurance? I can't recreate the problem myself... :(

I don't have to sidescroll (and don't even have a horizontal scroll bar in most cases), but have noticed the right hand edge of the screen is often *under* the vertical scroll bar. When this happens, it cuts off the right hand border and the last character or two of posts.

I am having the exact same problem. Here is a screenshot. Notice how the bottom post is cut off at the right side, and I have no scroll bar at the bottom.
