I've updated the forum software to SMF 2.0.1 (the latest release).

If you notice anything missing or broken, let me know.

When you reply to a message, the edit box is about 4 times wider than the screen. It's thousands of pixels wide. And of course then the text doesn't warp, and scrolls off the right side of the screen....

Very annoying.

The "Quick Reply" box is fine. It's just the regular edit bax that is used when you click the "Reply", "Quote", or "New Topic" buttons.

My browser is Chrome, 14.0.835.186 beta-m.

I can repeat the bug with Firefox 3.6.20
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Same on Safari 5.1.

The problem appears to be that the textarea has cols="600" on it.

weird, it works just fine for me, though I also see the "cols=600" part. Could it be intentional, some trick to resize it to fit the screen?

Anaris

Dunno.  But it shouldn't be fitting the screen anyway; at most it should be extending to the edge of the beige background of the "post reply" section.

Interestingly, though I have the usual resize handle at the bottom right (this being Safari), I cannot use it to shrink the textarea horizontally.

If I change the "cols" value to something much smaller using the Web Inspector, I can resize it to the normal size, but I can't resize it smaller than what the "cols" value makes it.  ...Not sure if that's normal behaviour or not, offhand.

Same in Chrome.

Works fine in the latest FireFox 6.0.2 on Windows XP.

it's apparently an issue with the theme. I'll check for fixes.


Tom

I've made a fix that may or may not solve it. If it doesn't - well, someone go looking for a 2.0 compatible theme that looks nice and fits BM. :-)

Seems to have worked for me in Chrome. The edit box is no longer crazy-wide, and can be resized with the handle in the bottom corner.  Well, it can be made taller or shorter, but not narrower or wider. Anyway, works good enough.

Crap, now the Quick Reply box is busted with the super-wide edit box... :(

switching everyone to the SM3 layout (which is 2.0 compatible) until we find a new 2.0 theme. Clear Mind (the one used before) was never updated to 2.0.

Bedwyr

Confused the heck out of me for a sec there...Also, is there any way to get the top bar with links to all the parts of the game back for the forum?  It's very handy.
