Added widgets, changed width- now users can't see topics

by OLQOS March 6th 2009, 4:21 am

I added a few widgets, changed the width of the Fourm -to 75% and the widget column to 300- nothing changed on my screen but a number of users can't see anything. They say it is wacky- only the topic icons and the widgets show, they can't log in and there is a line down the whole thing.

So I changed it back- this did not help them at all. To get them in, I disabled the widgets, but that isn't a good long term solution.

Is this a problem on IE 6? or did I make something so disprortional that it won't work for some screen resolutions?

Any suggestions? I saw similar problems when I was designing the widgets to go on the left, but it went a way when I moved them to the right hand side. I know it is some imbalance but I can't figure it out.

Thanks inadvance for the help.

Is the widgets still displayed in your forum or have you removed them? Can you provide a link to your forum.

Yup, Looking fine here. It sometimes could be the browser. Get them to try it on mozilla firefox.

Thanks - I am suspecting the browser- but they didn't change when I "fixed" it-

Do they need to remomve cookies or anything?

This is what my members are describing to me- I don't know what to change since it seems to work fine for most people.

They are experienceing this even with the widgets off

Admin-
The text is now partially visible about an inch wide, vertically down the screen. I can barley read the first words in the left column, the rest is out of view.

Let me know when there are more changes.
Thanks

Found the answer. - Solved

I had forgot to add that % sign in the forum width. It only affected those using IE6 and not everyone. But they were seeing a fourm of 95 px wide- LOL I guess that it matters on those little things.
