Post IE 5.x bugs and screenshots here

:rolleyes:

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.

I waited until I came to work before commenting... ;)
IE 6.0 at work is sat.
IE 5.5 at home is unsat.

I still have to side-scroll to veiw entire posts but the huge gap at the top of every page is gone!

Thanks!
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 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 :(
It works fine in the forum threads, however the announcement of the fix looks like this... oh, the irony. :D

Paul-

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 (???)!
 
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-

And here's another thread from the amps forum-

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'm having an odd related (?) problem.

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.
