    Default Overlaying text

    Forum Bug / Issue Report
    Reference
    Overlaying text
    Which Browser (and which Version) are you using
    IE 9
    Have you tried viewing the forum with Firefox?
    No
    Describe the issue
    When I hit `What's New?' and there is a thread with several threads and an attachement, the attachement notification (seems like a paper clip) covers the last showing page, whiich makes it difficuilt to click on it.

    Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE?

    Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE

    Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS




    Regards

    Same here with Chrome change your windows width either way and it will wrap arround or have space to display it all yes its a flaw but i think its in the design not under Crownhill's control.

    Hi,

    I only tried IE. This was always like that but thought I bring it up now as a lot is been going on to improve the website. I know that by changing the resolution the problem is fixed, but then I would have to make a large magnifying lens in front of the screen to see the text. Currently, I run the resolution at 1152 x 864 on a 19 inch TFT. Resolution larger than that, and then I would'nt be able to read the content.

    I thought that changing the position of the `attachment' to a better location would be ideal.

    Regards

    Lester,

    It seems that now the `attachment' icon is placed correctly. Have you done something?

    Hi Lester, I think it depends on the actual last post as to IF or if NOT it had multiple threads, AND attachments..

    however, may I also bring your attention to the fact that the report from in both this section AND the beta does not actually allow attachements, I get (in the beta section)
    you do not have permissions to access this etc etc when trying to add attachments..

    Please see http://www.protonbasic.co.uk/showthr...-ProtonIde.exe as an example of where I filled the form, but had to post a spererate thread to include the image - slightly off topic, but is the same issue Joseph was having with attachments (or seems to be)

    I did NOT use the form here, simply because the isue relates to the form, so would be sort of self defeating...
    (ps, still humming the ya ya lo lo lo tune - it's definitely a winner !)

    This is another thing that is just dependent on screen resolution. It's always been like that.

    There is a level below which the text / menu etc will NOT wrap., we test on Firefox from that level upwards.

    I see no issues.

    if some browsers / screen res don't handle the wrapping correctly there is nothing I can do about that.
