AdyCarter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The skins as far as I can tell have never been updated since I made them way back in 2007, considering the evolutions in web browsers and IPB itself its no wonder there is a degree of crap floating around. If people want a "quick" fix, Use the skin selector down below and switch to MMMV2007 Low Res which avoids most of the junk at the cost of looking rather retro.

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sorry 'bout the necro... But are people still seeing this, or is it just me? I'm on the latest Firefox, 3.6.13. I started poking around with the embedded css and found this nugget that I think might be the problem. .codetop, .sqltop, .htmltop { background: #FDDBCC url(d #000; color: #000; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; padding: 3px; border-bottom: 0; (style_images/Jet/css_img_code.gif) no-repeat right: ; (style_images/mmmv2007/css_img_code.gif) no-repeat right: ; } If I pull out the 'background:' line, everything looks nice and clean again. (Those last two lines look a little odd to me too, but I'm no CSS guru.) And of course I don't know if this causes other layout problems in other browsers or anything. But I thought I'd share in hopes of helping. Yeah, still seeing it. I think I'm used to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I got used to it and it didn't really bug me anymore. But, I just switched over to this wacky, old-school "skin," and I think I like it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I guess we could invest in new skins. I never see any issues on my end so there is no "motivation" to change. I rarely use Firefox because it seems to have issues more often than not (in my experience). I tend to use Chrome more than anything these days.

AdyCarter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 In all honesty it would probably not take me massses of effort to reskin the site to be more standards compliant. Poke me if you want me to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Alternatively I can delete the offending bit in the css (thanks Ivan) and all is good. I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yay, it's fixed! I was on less than an hour ago and used the search feature in that garbled mess in the corner. And I just came back and it looks clean now! Too clean... Hail Ivan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ady, you still have wonder twin powers on this site and you'd never offend any of us by making things work better or look prettier, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Wowzers. It's looking great again in Firefox. Thanks Ady! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Wowzers. It's looking great again in Firefox. Thanks Ady! Credit to Ivan over me tbh, he identified the issue, I just used my Wonder Twins Powers to rectify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm 1:08 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So if Shanester and Ady are the Wonder Twins, who's Gleek? I have to say, I've gotten used to the ugly mess that this site feels new and it kind of threw me off where things are now. Heck, I didn't even know there was an expand/contract for each subforum on the main page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I really had forgotten something was wrong with how the page looked Got me all "Facebook Redesign" worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wow! It's clean again! I feel the need to put on some pants to surf the site now. Just wondering how lazy that we really are that we sat in that garbled mess for a year and just "got used to it"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wow! It's clean again! I feel the need to put on some pants to surf the site now.
