While we would like to hope that the code we write is solid as a rock and has zero flaws, we know that just isnt the case 100% of the time. While the forums continue to grow and we continue to add features and expand upon existing features, a bug here or there might pop up. Please use this post for reporting problems you are facing, or issues you notice with our new forums.

Rest assured, a Stardock rep will be monitoring this post and helping out as much as possible. With your help, we can make sure that the forums continue to run smoothly and without issue.

You mean that your browser window is maximized?

edit

I switched my resolution to 1024x768, opened the latest ff, maximized the window, visited that URL. Couldn't reproduce the issue. The layout looks correct and all 'Last Reply Info' fields look correct. It looks like the ss you took was while the page was misrendered, as if some element was throwing off the rest of the page layout. That may be what was confusing you. Otherwise, chalk it up to a temporary glitch.

I'm unable to reproduce that layout problem on IE, FF or Opera running at 1024x768. Chalk it up to a glitch with your FF install, or some custom rendering setting you may have turned on.

Fairyy~

yes - maximized...this glitch only appeared when I changed from the full days posts that showed on page 1 - when i clicked " next "
Everything else was ok.

I havent tried it yet today - but just now I rebooted and opened forum and as the page goes down - the text gets distorted in places. I saw this yesterday and is still present today.

this was url:

https://forums.wincustomize.com/?

Firefox 1.5.0.6

https://forums.wincustomize.com/?g=search

The forum list is under the "Reset Fields" button and overlaps the search results.

Also, above the search results there is the following text that looks like it is missing content: Search Results for : ''

Here's how the forums look for me:

Note that the titles in the blue boxes on the left are uneven in addition to the spacing problems in the forum headers. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.6 at 1280 x 1070. Desktop Display fonts are set to normal size. My Firefox fonts are set to to use Arial with a minimum font size of 16.

The main wincustomize page has spacing problems too but that's another thread.

I'm sorry, but we can't predict, nor allow for every custom font configuration out there. With a default install of Firefox 1.5.0.6 the forums look exactly as they should. The discrepencies with the layout you're seeing are a direct result of Firefox either ignoring or circumventing the css which dictates that font size.

This probably doesn't count, but the forum appear to be stuck - not updating

There are some database/filesystem issues that T-man is trying to fix at the moment. No ETA either. Please be patient.

I have recently purchased the StarDock suite. I am running Hare 1.5.1 windows accelerator on this XP Pro box. Loading a theme or just a Skin causes an exception and Hare crashes.

that's really got nothing to do with forum bugs, huh?

When I go here, right in the middle of the page is a link that says:

Important notice: Incompatibility with WindowBlinds


open WB configuration, click 'per application' - 'add per application setting' then browse to your dachshund products and add them to be excluded from skinning.

if you have any questions, please start a new post



now, back to the forum bugs

When I click the users profile and select the option to e-mail it does nothing. This is in the latest version of FF. Works fine in IE7.

I just noticed that when viewing someone's profile, it says "2005" for the age field. Also, is the name in the last commented by portion (right side) of the recent posts section on the main page supposed to be clickable? When hovering over the name it becomes underlined, but clicking does nothing. Hovering over the name of the original poster (left side) has no effect on it.

I'll have a look at the age field, as it's effecting the forum's info page as well. But the page you've referenced there is on the main wincustomize website, which is a different beast. I'll let dean know about the issue though (he's the guy currently in charge of the wc main website). The nickname thing is like that because we're exploring what to do with that at the moment and a desicion hasnt been made. Until then... just think of it as an extended april fools joke. (kidding, of course)

LOL, alright. It's funny because it was working fine and then last night when I looked at someone's profile it said age: 2005, so I checked my own and sure enough, said the same thing. I might be a little old, but not that old.
