Forums Web Login layout messed up

Noticed it for a few days now, at first thought might be due to a slow/bad Internet connection but apparently it isn’t.

Is easily noticed, the content pane is displayed below (apparently outside) the standard theme template instead of in the Content Pane (main pane to right of navigation pane).

I’m not experiencing this problem with FF 3.6.16. Maybe your browser?

I haven’t noticed any change. Granted, that might only show that I am not very observant.

Is it possible that you have installed a browser add-on that could be causing what you are seeing?

Tony, why not do a screen capture and post it some where for us to see? Perhaps looking at what you see might help determine the source of the problem.

Thank You,

my guess is it looks like this:

been that way well over a year here…

but, if i F11 to full screen (or drag a corner to make the pane wider)
it goes to the correct layout (openSUSE Login banner etc, to the right
of the left column, instead of below it…)

i guess it is a html/css coding fault to “stack” the two columns rather
than display a horizontal scroll bar…

same happened in earlier firefoxes (currently on 3.6.16), and also in
Chrome and Konqueror…

i think it has been reported before, and fixed before…but, it is one
of those things that breaks whenever the web forum’s software is
‘upgraded’…

I’ve seen a problem when logging in using Win 7 and IE8. I log in, and then the screen changes. I’m expecting the regular Forums page, but many times a white, empty page appears - with a message: ‘page not found’. If I go to the top address bar and truncate the address to something like ‘forums.opensuse.org’… the web-page remembers me as a log-in. I can then start reading the forums.

The day following my initial post, the problem was fixed.
Yes, DenverD’s screenshot displays what I saw.

Sorry for not checking back into this thread earlier…

still broken here…you must have changed something…screen size or
browser window size, or browser itself (if click F11 to send firefox to
full screen then the <div id=“right_column”> will render next to, rather
than under <div id=“globalWrapper”> as it ‘should’

the code has fixed width divisions, and when the browser pane is too
small, it stacks the two columns…

why then it doesn’t display a horizontal scroll i don’t know…

i found that changing width from:
#left_column { width:162px; }
#right_column { width:63.7em; }

to:
#left_column { width:162px; }
#right_column { width:53.7em; }

solved the problem here, for my ‘comfortable’ browser width…but, i
think it would be better to make the right column a variable width. as i
don’t have to make my browser window much smaller to again cause the
stacking (then “width:43.7em;” ‘fixes’ it again…

the how-to have a fixed width nav column and variable width content
column is covered in a multitude of on line tutorials, here is one such:
