UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? Scroll bars on Quote boxes

I really hate the scroll bars that appear around quote boxes. I can understand the reasoning behind it, but I need to allow my users a bigger size before scroll-bars appear.

I can not find the code to change this though. Can anyone point a finger in the right direction for me?

Thanks!

I'm sure this is down to your browser?

Here's a screencap of what I mean:

doh, ive just tried to move your image (Scroll bars).

I think its an IE7 issue, with the browser,

LOL Mark - I write software online learning and documentation for a living, and I'm always clicking on screencap buttons and stuff. I never fail to feel silly.

Anyway, you're partly right. In Firefox I just get the bottom scrollbar, but IE 6.x is the same as IE 7.0.

Maybe it's just the double-quote thing.

Yeah, it's basically this way because IE didn't like the old method we used. The old method looked much better as it just used a percentage of the current container, so quotes within quotes would scale properly, but IE (6 and 7) didn't support the css classes we were using unfortunately.

Thanks Rick and Mark!

Easy, take out the IE fix; it's ugly, bulky, and is of no use to just about anyone (I'm more than willing to sacrifice a small inconvenience to IE users at the stake of a conforming design).

Defaults:
.ubbcode-block

.ubbcode-body

Replace those with something similar to:
.ubbcode-block

.ubbcode-body

Now your muti-level quotes, spoier tags, code boxes will actually conform to your forum design and will no longer be "bonkers"

Gizmo, that worked great! Thanks so much.

I did add one more step to the above:

.ubbcode-header: I replaced

Very nice!

Lots of ways to tweak ... Like I said, myself (and a lot of others) find the IE Fix more of a nuscense than a fix (especially when you deal with spoilers and sub-quotes)

Yes, but at least with the fix, you can get around it with just a css change if you want to change how it works. There wasn't a way to fix the IE issue with just css as it required actual code changes to the markup routine.

One of the best things about UBB, is the ability to tweak just about anything. It's so flexibile.

Easier for some than others - I always feel like I'm groping in the dark, but I always know that I can probably do whatever I want, once I figure out how.

Still say there should be an option, two classes; and have the admin be able to choose if they want IE compatability on vs forcing people to have it on by default lol... It's just ugly :'(

Should have seen the IonCube vs Zend debate we had when 7.x was a twinkle...
