Thanks Zaral but what about the fixed width / height that are in the original?

Would prefer not having fixed units like that. A lot more work but would be nice if the CSS could handle the IE limitations and allow auto for others like FireFox.

I add for .form-input a "width: 97%;" You can remove it if you like.
Without this I enconuter some trouble with the layout. Sometimes the middle box is broaden and it is not alligned anymore with my header. This can be solved with this entry.

please remove the .form-input width setting. I found a better way to solve it. Go to extra properties and add:

.body_col textarea.form-input {
width: 99%;
}

This fix it for me and you can resize the browser window all the time and it work as it should.

thanks Zarzal I'll try to give it a test drive this weekend.

This little trick works in all styles and fix the body_col if quick reply is enabled.

I just installed 7.2.1 on my site.
When I first brought it up every other message in some of the forum was BLACK, couldn't see what was there, but if you click on it teh topic would come up. It would not go BLACK again. If fact some of the other returned to normal.
I tried a "Mark all read" and that seemed to cure,
But still some users are reporting it's still happening.
Any ideas???

The site is Barnegat Fishin' Hole

LarE, yes it's a simple thing.

go to your cpanel, styles editor..

edit your style

open 'Forum Summary properties'

you will see 24 'Copy' links on the right..

click the lower 6 copy links..

save your style..

Yep that works as SD says. He helped me with that the other day and works great. Thanks again SD.
