Hello,
I just installed version 7.6 and a couple of things are not working correctly just yet.

The forum is located at www.natomessageboard.com .

Overall, the install went smooth, but after upgrading from 7.5.9 the lines between the forum and thread listings have gone missing. They show up if the "UBBCentral" style is chosen, but they do not in any of the other styles -- including the updated Dark and Light styles. If I go in to edit a style, they show up there, but not on the actual forum listing or the preview in the control panel.

The second thing is mobile viewing. The main forum listing comes up the correct width, but all of the other pages I've visited are not fit to the screen. They are all just barely wider. Initially, this was due to a table in the header, but I've adjusted that, which is why the main forum listing now loads the correct width. I've gone through the styles and made sure any references to "width" were removed as per instructions, but this has not helped.

If you all have any suggestions, I would certainly appreciate it!

Thanks,
B

Quick update - The private messages screen is also the correct width, as is the full reply screen.

Any insight on this, by chance? The attached images illustrate the problem with the lines (borders) missing from the forum list, etc.

In the first image, you can see that the lines are there in the preview box on the right of the screen, from within the style editor. This is the only place they show up. They are missing on the actual page.

Add the following line to the extras section of the styles you which to display the table borders on:

Code
table{border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:1px;}


Each browser has their own settings for what a page should look like. Apple iPhone/iPad have a totally different setting than Firefox and Chrome. Internet Explorer likes to display pages different than either of those.

UBB.threads no longer lets each separate browser determine what your forums should look like. UBB.threads now sets the ground rules for a basic common display, for your users, across all browsers. Buttons and drop-down menus are styled as you want them to be styled, and not as how Apple is telling you they need to be styled. Borders for all Tables are collapsed and not shown unless you want them to be shown. Styles that you create are now displayed on IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari...etc, as you have designed them.

The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others.

The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on.

In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

Thank you! That fixed one issue.

Any insight on why some pages are not the correct width when viewing on a phone? The forum listing page, new thread/full reply page, and the whole private message section display correctly on the phone, but the thread listings and individual threads are a bit too wide. Wide enough that it requires scrolling to the right to view the entire text of a thread.
