Good job fixing the IE thing (for the lazy that don't get Firefox and people at work). When I load this page in IE, I get 3D boxes for blue borders, while in Firefox it is flat.

Not that I mind either way, just curious why it is loaded differently.

Millions of words are written annually purporting to tell how to beat the races, whereas the best possible advice on the subject is found in the three monosyllables: 'Do not try.'

Its not? There is a flat-gray background behind the blue 3d boxes. Both IE and Firefox should be showing the images. They do for me...

It is happening with all 3 skins.
You sure its happening with the "Flex" skin? I changed some stuff around pertaining to the widths of the columns, but its just standard CSS and its working with Firefox and IE.
I think I figured this out. Trying to come up with a fix now.

Err, it isn't happening with flex skin. Either you just fixed it, or I totally screwed up when I thought i tested all 3.

Sorry about that.

My 'Author' column seems to have grown enormously and is now wider than the topic title column, which looks kinda weird. Using Firefox.

I am not sure really what is going on here. I am developing this thing using the latest stable versions of both Firefox and IE. So, if you are getting issues, the first thing I would try is SHIFT+refresh (which does a hard refresh of whatever page you're on). Also, make sure you're using the new "Flex" skin as the other skins might very well be broken. I will try and force everyone over to the new skin later today.

I came accros a bunch more 'bugs'.
Using firefox, the oxygen skin.
Images in a quoted post get clipped without a scrollbar appearing at the end of the quote or end of the post if your browser width is less than the width of the image. > Screenshot
The scrollbar does appear in a normal post so it's probably quote-code related. > Screenshot

Topic titles get clipped (including the pagenumbers) if the browser width is less than the length of the title and pagenumber combined. > Screenshot
Ofcourse, they do show up normally if your window is wide enough. > Screenshot

Thanks for testing, but all accounts are going to be moved to "Flex" from here on out. Could you tell me which bugs remain when you are using that skin?

Titlebugs are fixed using flex, the imagequote one remains.

Everyone's skin should now be updated to Flex. Welcome to the Socialist Republic.

Thanks, I like to have a browser open next to a multitude of 'useful' windows ;-)
Just a scrollbar appearing at the bottom of the quote or the post the quote is in would work.
I just tested, IE has the same behavior as firefox so it's probably not browser related. (tho what do I know :p)

I'm unsure if this is by intent, but I just noticed there's no entry for lapsed/inactive WoW accounts under the otherwise updated US/EU realm lists for profiles.

I haven't looked recently but I remember you guys mentioning a couple days back that there should now be one. Just thought I'd mention it.

Edit: You kids and your fancy grammar perversions.

I think "N/A" is the catch-all.

Hmm someone changed that at some point recently. I know I had entered "No WoW Account" as an option.

You sure that edit made it through? Neither I nor Thrill made any changes.

I know for sure that it did. I remember someone selecting it and saying "Cool, thanks for putting an option in for us!"

Another suggestion of aestetic nature: keep the author column at a fixed width equal to the width of the longest author name on that page. As it is now it scales and when using a small window the author names start overlapping the number of replies.
To avoid that author column becoming too wide you could just limit account names to x characters, which is probably already being done, just sayin' .

That require some scripting, and I am just not sure the payoff is there. You need to be using a pretty small horizontal resolution for the columns to squash that much. Like, less than 600px, which it just isn't practical to support.

It's not so much the resolution, rather the windowsize, I hardly ever maximize anything. If it requires to much effort tho, who cares, as I said, it's merely aestetic :)

No big deal, and I don't know if it's a bug or not, but closed topics don't seem to be greying out for me with Flex.
