John C Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Andy today the Skills & Knowledge Centre section is the sub forums are formatted totally differently to the rest of the forum or it is on my machine,in that the originators picture is to the right of the go to new posts followed the sub forum heading then the replies/views then a picture of the last poster. I don't know how to do screenshots or I would Edit its now also in the layout section Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Yes; I've selected certain areas of the site to show a thumbnail of the topic (normally it automatically selects the first image in the first post be default) as a preview to help readers see what may be in a topic.

John C Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Somehow me 1st replay went missing. When I reported it thumbnails were all of the originators thumbnail, but the problem I have is that as I try to click read first unread post I keep getting pictures flash up as a preview and as I have said in that topic I am not to keen on that either.

Andy Y Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you mouseover the thumbnail it will open a preview but if you mouseover the star/spot for unread post it should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 That,s the Problem. If there are more than 12 topics with unread posts on my pc, until I get used to not scrolling left without going to the top or bottom of the screen first I keep getting thumbnails flashing at me.

Phil Traxson Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The trouble with this on my screen is the thumbnails obscure the topic Andy. Phil T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Traxson Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Phil, Can you post a screenshot image of the problem you're getting and let me know which browser you're using please?

Andy Y Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks Phil, can you see a PrtScrn button on your keyboard. Use that when the problem's showing itself and paste into an image editor (or use http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?app=photoshop if you don't have one, save and attach it to a reply in here.

Found the button but nothing happens when I press it. Probably easier to describe the problem! The thumbnail sits over the first few letters of the topic and description from the first letter onwards ie. hard against the left of the topic column but clear of the dot/star column. Phil T.

10800 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Found the button but nothing happens when I press it. Phil - nothing appears to happen when you hit PrntScrn, but it copies the screen image and enables 'Paste' in an appropriate image editor (or Word).

Andy Y Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks Phil, I've also had an email which shows the same problem. Have a look at this and see if changing the Compatability View helps at all - http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/understanding-internet-explorer-8-compatibility-view/ - I can't replicate at this end but I am on the most recent version of IE. Once again a modification fails to work correctly with their way of working (or is it just that IE screws up with too many bits of code?). I'll be going back to the writer of the modification to see if they can assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted January 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Andy, You will never get older versions of IE to work properly. It's best just to give up and try to get everyone on to Firefox or Chrome. I tried the new feature in IE7, and this is the result (mousing over the 2nd thumbnail). Areas without the new feature are ok: Martin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Traxson Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 At least it proved you can teach an old dog some new tricks even if it was very slowly with monosyllabic instructions!! Heaven alone knows what I'll be like getting up and running when I move to Wales, no nice cable, and mobile connection only if you stand in the right part of the garden! At least I am being treated to a new computer though. Phil T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Wintle Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am running Windows 7/IE8 and I see the thumbnails overlaying the titles. Compatability mode doesn't seem to help - in fact, I had to get out of compatability mode to be able to post this as the reply editor didn't seem to be working in it.

Miss Prism Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looks like it's bad CSS ('style: overflow' on the thumbnail could be the root cause) or IPB using CSS attributes that work only on certain browsers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks Adrian, IE8 does seem to be part of the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 All the new features are working great on my Imac with Safari - no problems at all. I really appreciate the preview function. It's detailed enough to read without being too big. I wish we could preview the threads in the same way without clicking on anything....

Andy Y Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 One of the software users has come up with a fix which worked for him which I've now implemented. As I can't replicate it at this end I'd be grateful if someone who has been affected by it could let me know if it's any better now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
