The forum now is centered with large white spaces on either side. Is there a way to widen it so it fits the width of the screen?

There are two partial MX Linux icons on the top left.

We are looking at a fix. It displays properly in Google Chrome and Opera, but double icons in Firefox.

The "active topics" quick link seems to be missing in FF, though I can still get to it through a bookmark.
Any chance of getting it back?
Edit: OK, it's in Quick Links. Two clicks instead of one.

Still showing part of the logo at the bottom, a quick fix is adding this to the .site_logo css: background-repeat: no-repeat;
example
Code: Select all
.site_logo {
background-image: url("./images/site_logo.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Can you post a screenshot? I am not seeing that on any of the browsers I tried, Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.

That is the normal image. It was that way before the software change. I doubt it is repeating and believe that was the original design. However we can look into it.

By default css repeats an image unless you tell it not too, the code I posted should fix it in all browsers and would have also fixed the other issue as well, nvm if that's the look your going for.

@antechdesigns Thank you for your feedback
Fixed. I experimented on my local copy of the forum. Although the css edit should have resolved the issue it had no effect. Styling on this sub theme does not result in what you expect. I was able to resolve it by adding a white background to the logo image and placing the lower edge of logo itself a few pixels above the bottom of the image.
I had to delete the cached images in my browser to see the change.

Your welcome, It was messing with my OCD.
I also have a fix for the gradient repeat on the forum boxes, if you need it!? (can't find the post now)

Thinking out aloud, would it not be better installing a new phpBB theme that works with the new version rather than hacking the css/html ??
Just a thought....

phpBB has a couple of base themes, then third parties develop themes - essentially child themes based on one of those. They do not seem to be created to be easy to work with, they do not give you a way to add your logo for example. The theme we have is a third party theme that does work with the new version. The only hacks we have done to it are adding our logo and custom menu, which we would have to do with any theme we selected.

Not sure what happened but the borders on the Index page in Google Chrome are now segmented whereas as thy were continuous before. The logo "fix" was effective although the previous one looked better to me. You cannot please everybody. However it is more in keeping with the original intent as I understand it
