Struggling With The Colour

[Badger]

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.

Another quirk.

When adding tags to threads, if I click on the pop-up selection of previously entered tags, the system kicks me off the thread, back to the main menu, w/o entering the tag. If i type out the whole thing it works fine.

That might be your IE6 interacting badly with the more current versiobs of Javascript, but I'll look into it ...

Thanks for the feedback ..

Apparently, our site developer has heard some "rumblings" in vBulletin's support area about this issue of line clipping in "search, for lack of a better expression...

So, stand by for more transmissions as I get updates...

Bob....

Reference your PM....

The PM environment doesn't permit file attachments, so I thought I'd put them here.

Here's my FireFox 3.6.6 settings for fonts and sizing...

Perhaps Ramboueille and you can try these and let me know if they work for you, because they were the defaults as delivered with FF 3.6.6, plus I don't see clipping using them.

I'm curious as to whether this solves your problem and I do think what you outlined in your PM is narrowing the gap as to why this is only happening on certain machines.

Fixed!

Vista 64, IE8 & XP Pro 32 IE7:

Tools > Internet Options > Accessibility > Uncheck > "Ignore Font Sizes" & "Ignore Font Styles."

[Badger]

Yes...

It's interesting that the previous version of vBull didn't and doesn't do this. I'm still visiting several sites with older revisions of vBull and am able to use the minimum font size to my advantage. Sure wish they'd change whatever routine that has made their display picky.

Bob,

Same here, even on other vBulletin V4 unrelated sites. Font adjustments made just for here. Vbulletin support is quick to say it's not from their end but it is. Nothing I can't live with and overall, it's nice and crisp on Milsurps.

The first time I logged-on to the new site I just about went NUTS, which some say is not a very far trip for me. Yes I am old and like most really hate change but after a few times have not had any problems and now am able to navigate quite easily. I think I like the new site better it just takes time to accept the change. I have a Panasonic Toughbook (no I don't sell computers) using IE8 and XP which seem to work well. One thing is I have had MAJOR problems with my search engine even on this site over the last month or so and spent 6 hours with a computer genius and he found my AntiVirus was not stopping Trojans and one had taken over my search engine. The strangest thing is I don't go to "strange/risky" sites so the person(s) who are attaching Trojans are now putting them on legit sites. I have a new AntiVirus (one I must pay for) and now this site is perfect with no problems at all. I do like the new color and Doug you and your wife have done a great job on this.
