Struggling With The Colour

[Badger]

Vista 64, IE8
"Forum" and the next line under describing what forum only shows half the text line vertically. I'm on a 22" Dell WS monitor 1680 x 1050 default resolution. Let me play with this some more......... I think I'm "losing it!"

Edit: Same on another computer and monitor 1600 x 1200.
XP Pro 32, IE7

Main forum screen is fine.

I still may be confused on what you're saying, only because I'm not seeing any anomalies at all on all our test bed platforms, including PC's, Apple MacBooks, Apple iMac's, iPads, iPhones and Blackberry PDA's.

So, just for clarity, are you saying the function of "New Posts" display, as shown in the attached pic, is causing you graphic anomalies on the system configurations you mentioned?

Thanks for the feedback ...

Doug,

Yes, that is correct. I access other forums using vBulletin with no issues. "New Posts" display lines are the only issue here. My hardware/graphics are mainstream with all updates both machines.

Also, I don't see a "user CP" box readily accessible. Nothing above I can't live with........

Ok, so "New Posts" screen is the issue. I have no idea what's different about how it displays versus any other screen so I'll have to find a way to duplicate the problem on some piece of hardware we don't currently have. Can you drop your resolution as a test to 1280x1024 and tell me if that clears it up on that specific screen?

As far as the UserCP (User Control Panel), they now call it "Settings" in vBulletin v4. Check the attached pic and I've shown two ways I've found (so far) of accessing that area.

No change @ 1280 x 1024 (nVidia 9800GT vid card).

Doug, don't knock yourself out over this. I can hover the mouse to see the 2nd line.

Can you send me a screen pic?

Also, does it happen with the "lighter" version as well?

Thanks .. appreciate the troubleshooting ...

Doug,

Both colors. "Unread Messages" only.

This is the same issue I have on all the Windows machines and Firefox. I've run screen rez and font size up and down and the anomaly just tracks with it.

Bob,

I thought I was losing my marbles, no one else mentioned the same issue. Yours is exactly the same I have with IE8 so the browser makes no difference.

I've been running tests on this specific anomaly for most of last week. So far, I've tried four different Windows based machines with different versions of Windows and different configurations. At his point, I haven't been able to duplicate the problem, but we're still looking.

Once we can do that, then perhaps we can find out what's common to both your environments or settings that's causing it, so we can perhaps create a fix. May you two guys can contact each other privately and compare notes on what you both have in common from software and hardware points of view?

Thanks for the feedback ..
