Why the new forced double- wide width?

[Thrasher]

Now I can't read the whole page because I can't zoom in wihtout losing the siebar. What gives?

Thrasher

Personal Details -> Preferences -> Style -> RPG Codex - Fixed Width
results?

 

[Thrasher]

Same result as the default style setting. Can't see the sidebar when zoomed in. It's forcing a wide width on my browser, rather than flowing to fit the visible width. I see this behavior for all the style settings... This is Firefox 10.0.2.

Clarified - sorry about that.

Are you talking about the front page? I'm getting that too, pretty sure it's to do with this picture:

Which is obv too big for my 1366x768 laptop screen.

Same here, but I'm on Opera. News screen is suddenly wider requiring me to scroll right to see the forum headers, but I can zoom out.

I'm using Chrome and yeah, the pic if you browse the News by clicking on the News Tab makes the right border way off to the right to accommodate the picture size.

 

[Thrasher]

Yeah, it probably has to do with the mega promoted screenshot. These should be limited in width in the future.

 

[Spectacle]

Adblocking the offending picture makes the girth of the Codex return to normal levels. Some kind of automatic downscaling of oversized pictures would be useful.

I'll add it to my list of things. Should be able to include a bit of JavaScript that auto-reduces large images.

Remind me when I invariably don't do it.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Fixed.

 

[someone else]

VOD you the best!

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Meh, I just edited the newspost to display a smaller image. Your assessment is accurate though.

Should you not be able to do it by leaning on the existing scripts? Class the img as .bbCodeImage (and maybe additionally .LBImage) and let it do its thing? Who knows what other assumptions the software makes of those, though...

In theory - if I knew what I was actually doing - yes. I haven't figured out how to use the existing stuff though and have pretty much given up on that until I level up my PHP and multi-class into OO - which probably won't happen this side of Christmas.

I know you say your an OO guy but you never got back to me with that thing I PM'd you, you little bitch.
