I agree with you that IE is junk, but that's not really a solution. Most users are browsing in IE and from what I can gather they don't want to install a new piece of software because they're having troubles with one site. From the perspective of your average (non web designer) user they probably haven't even considered changing browser before.

We can try and guide users towards more standards compliant browsers, but as a creator of websites I have to face the fact that most people are browsing with IE.

I can't seem to replicate this error on my machine and as yet none of the users have supplied me with the exact error message (I have asked them). So I was hoping a xoops.org user might be able to do this?

I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 & IE 6.0.2900... This is a quote from an email by one of the sites users:

Quote:
I booted up my PC today and Windows told me it had run out of Virtual Memory and had allocated more. The site is now working fine and hasn’t crashed in a fair while. I don’t think this is a PC issue however as my PC is far from low-spec, but it could be caused by something in the forum (maybe cookies) not deleting or overwriting themselves and filling up the Virtual Memory to crashing point...

Users are reporting this problem taking effect from just browsing the forums. Could this known bug appear despite there not being a form in use?

Xoops version 2.0.10
NewBB version 2.0.2

I've recently updated a site with a new theme and the above build/module. Since launching it several weeks ago some of the sites users have reported problems when using the forum. These users have experienced an error dialogue box appearing stating that IE(6) has to shut down due to unexpected errors.

Firstly, can you all (reading this thread) take a look at the site[1] and see if you can replicate the problem?

Secondly, can anyone offer any suggestions for the cause of this problem?

Many thanks.

Take a look HERE for an example of a tableless, centre-content-first layout.

I implemented the Blue Robot 'Flanking Menus' layout which in tests proved to be the most stable cross-browser/platform method I found.

Another way to do it, avoiding the addition of inline styles in the templates is to add this to your theme.css:

.itemBody img margin5px; }

You can control block titles with the following class:

legend.blockTitle {}


The list as can be seen in your 'Top Downloads' block can be controlled with:

.blockContent ul {}
.
blockContent li {}

Re: In default theme, how to get borders for every table cell

First of all open up the style sheet(s) affecting your site (e.g. style.css in your theme folder). Look for declarations relating to table element properties and modify them appropriately (after making a backup of the original). They should include something like this:

table border-collapse:collapse; }
td margin:0padding:0border:1px solid black; }


Upload and test to see if the desired changes have taken place. If they're still not behaving correctly then you will have to scour your css file(s) and page source for class's and/or ID's that are controlling the style properties of yor tables. If you're noticing that table cells are having an alternating background colour applied to them try commenting out the .odd and .even classes from your style sheet.

@ kakis
Look for styles beginning with .com (e.g. .comTitle & .comUserName) in your theme css file. These declarations control specifically elements within NewBB and comments(site-wide).

Spot on, thanks.

I had recently upgraded to 2.0.10. I wasn't running modified versions of the notification templates, but deleting them and regenerating has fixed the problem.

Cheers
