Fixed width problem

Hi all

I have a problem large images and sigs breaking the table, nothing new there I here you say.

The thing is when view a thread the image break the table :-

But when you preview your post before posting there is no problems, I know there is no forum name in the preview but there still seems to be a lot of waisted space on the right hand side of the post on the pic above :-

any idea's what could be causing this, any help would be appreciated as this has been driving mad for months.

Thanks

There are phpBB mods that allow you to restrict the size of images in both forum posts and signatures. Take a look at jaded's website.

I'm inclined to say that the QUOTE EDIT X IP buttons are causing it to shift (at least from the image)... maybe they are set in a seperate column?

Would involve editing the viewtopic_body.tpl template file

What was the cause then as I have this problem in my forum too, even if there are no pics in the posted message. Crying or Very sad

nice site

problem is with most themes is that if any members post a big image or type a big long line of text it will always break your tables :/

my problem was that my tables were broken even though there was still space on the forum yours is breaking just because there isn't anymore room.

if i'm wrong please correct me !

Thanks, it's not too bad... Smile

Tbh, I can't say if you're wrong or not because I'm stumped myself. It used to be alright, and the all of a sudden started jumping wider than it should do.

That's the way HTML works. It will not break long continuous text nor images.
But howarj issue seems to be a bad template code somewhere

What could cause this Evaders, as when I first used the theme it was fine, then out of nowhere one day it started jumping wider.

As a test I re-uploaded the whole forum folder and this didn't make a difference.... Confused
