A couple of things here related to the display of graemlins:

1. BUG? - In the CP if I choose to show the full list of graemlins, the option in Preferences to not show them doesn't work. All the graemlins are displayed regardless. The opposite, however, works.

2. When the option in the CP to show all graemlins is NOT enabled and in member Preferences the option: "Do you wish to be presented with a full list of the graemlins for new Posts?" is enabled, the graemlins in the floating dialog box are displayed in one continuous line forcing the user to use the horizontal scroll to see them all.

Since I have quite a number of graemlins this becomes very aggravating. Is there a way to force the images to "wrap" so they are displayed downward in the box as they are when the CP option to display them all is enabled?

Is that clear? [Linked Image from the-highway.com]

You can change the size and wrap the items in the styles editor in the control panel.

General CSS properties
ubb_popup_body

Add something like
width: 75px;

HERE
Is a site with a quick hint on css properties. See if this helps

Oh and if this is what you want then you will need to add it to all of your styles.

Thanks for the personal information and the link. However... nothing worked. Regardless of the size of the popup box or overflow parameters, the graemlins are still loaded in one continuous horizontal line. See the screenshot below.

Any other ideas?

I know I did have to exit my browser and reopen the site. Also I might of cleared cache.
I guess because the css file was already loaded in the browser.
I tried it using xp sp3 and IE7 and firefox 3
Also don't forget that it would only effect the style you edited. Not all of them. Unless you changed them all.
So if you changed style 1 and you are visiting the site using style 2 you will not see the change.

Why don't you try it again using what I suggested and tell me what style you edited.
I guess I will need to register so I can see it.

Well I just registered and started a post in the help forum and it has for sure changed from what you posted.
So it is probably again a cache issue due to your browser.

[Linked Image from the-highway.com] I'll give it another go, BUT... although I did not close IE and reopen it, I did refresh IE and even deleted all TIF and History and refreshed before checking and the various changes I did make, e.g., window size (height & width), and overflow parameters did show.

I made the changes for "Sunny" stylesheet hoping not many were using it while I was playing around. laugh

I just sent a quick email to webmeister@the-highway.com. With a attachment of what I see. Attachments are not allowed on this forum and did not have the time to upload to my site and then post a image link here.
But it is working.
May need to adjust it a bit but it works.

1. Which forum were you in that didn't have attachments enabled? I don't have them enabled in ALL forums, but most do. laugh

2. I got your e-mail with attached images (THANKS), but you are using Firefox, which I don't have. IE7 is what I am using and it doesn't work. The popup box changes size just fine, but again, the "overflow" parameter has no effect on the wrapping so that regardless of what is entered the images are displayed on one long horizontal line. But if the option to show all graemlins is enabled, they are wrapped in the default window.

I tend to think that it's an IE thing and something more is needed to be added in the CSS to make it work. [Linked Image from the-highway.com]
