Description of problem

Hello and i am terribly sorry if that kind of topic exists (i didn't find something mutual).

About some days ago i entered control panel and in the Other section i had a message that someone commented to my site. The comment was about that he or she couldn't register in but sended as a comment of abuse detection (i am not pretty sure how is it in English cause i have it in Greek) and just said that couldn't get in nothing bad about the site just couldn't find where to send it. Anyway the thing i am asking is:
1) Do i have any problem having one or more issues like that and transfer them as completed?
2) Do i have to delete them and if i have to how can i do it?
3) And last question is it possible to prevent that kind of comment to my site?
I think it was a report comment to the site if that helps.

Thank you anyway and sorry for the long topic.

On my tablet this code only is working on preview an when I edit HTML the music plays but when I view the HTML link normal I don't here it playing the old code embed worked fine then it stopped working. On portal the code works fine. It's very odd the code plays on html preview an when I edit the code this my Android tablet high end device

Code:
<audio id="MusicPlayer" autoplay="autoplay" src="http://mp3 link here"><embed src="http://mp3 link here" autoplay="true" name="MusicPlayer" id="MusicPlayer" style="width: 450px; height: 300px;" /></audio>

Things like you want to do are done by JS. If you wish can be done with jQuery. There must be a connection , a constant update. When I make Android application, I have to make server connection in order to send data to Android and notice user there is new version. When he click back, that data is sent back to me. After that I know what to do.
That is communication. With simple HTML it won't work.

Description of problem

Hi!

Right after Forumotion disabled clickable username links for guests, me and my forum members found that even when we're logged in, we can't click on some of the usernames. As you can see from the screenshot I added, I refer to all usernames in post author column. Usernames there are in different font and not clickable, other than in the last message column. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, that's not how really your update should work. Maybe it's not fully finished yet or it's a bug?

Thank you for looking into this.

Locking The Header

@TheCrow wrote:@Zeta, if you want them to be visible at all times, you should try
Code:
position: fixed;
as this will keep the headerbar always shown no matter the scrolling a user does. Otherwise, if it's only for changing the left and right margin you should try this:
Code:
table[width="100%"]:first-child, table:nth-child(2) { margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px; }

To change your header and your navigation bar you have to change these two elements:
Code:
table[width="100%"]:first-child { ... }
affects your header containing the logo and
Code:
table:nth-child(2) { ... }
affects your navigation bar only

These codes are only codes for #phpbb2 forums.

Regards.

I don't want to logo and navigation bar constantly on screen and overlapping the forum while scrolling like it would with "position: fixed", so "position: absolute" is the one to go with between those two.
That code did a lot more than just move the header and navigation bar. It sent my forum all over the place. Literally. Everything moved and things were overlapping and the wrong width. Changing the px values just made it worse and by the time I got the logo where it needed the be the rest of the page was a complete mess. It was startling and a little unsettling.
I assume that's not supposed to happen?

Description of problem

Hi all!

Long time ago I've installed a login widget on my forum. On this helpforum I found a CSS code which made avatars smaller than the actual size in order for an image not to stretch the widget. Code provided below worked all the time.

Code:: #gallery_container img[alt="avatar"] {height: 225px; !important; width: 150px; }

Recently (about half an year or so ago) we did some coding to change username font size and to make navbar fixed on top of the forum. Sadly I can't specify if the problem occured right after we did the coding or later. But the fact is, as you can see from the screenshot I added, the code I used to resize avatar doesn't work anymore. It stretches the widget and makes it look bad aside the other widgets that are not stretched. To increase width of all the widgets is not an option for me.

Thank you for all the possible solutions.

Description of problem

Hello! Some members of our Warrior Cats forum are experiencing some issues. On Firefox we have the issues with the forum being too wide to 'fit' the banner. On Chrome it works correctly, but Firefox just doesn't. I don't know if this is due to some CSS that clashes, but maybe someone here can figure it out.

Then the most annoying problem, some members experience (on Chrome and Firefox) that images won't load. I've verified with those members that they don't use adblockers. The forum and all text content loads, but the images just don't. They have up to date browser.
I've thought that it might be due to us not having an SSL certificate (I know Google Chrome is strict on that subject) but they don't experience this issues with other fora.

I hope someone can help us solve these problems so they can normally use the foru,. We pay a lot of money each year to make sure they can use the forum to the fullest be removing ads and using a custom domain name.

Kind regards,
the Warrior Cats NL team

So, I could have attached 3 perfectly self-explainable pics, made this ticket a little easier for whoever is handling it. Guess what, I am directed to another webpage in order to upload 3 simple pictures in this ticket. Not only that THERE IS NOT EVEN AN OPTION TO CREATE A NEW USER ON THAT SAME PAGE. So I will try now to explain this simple issue best I can, by text. I have recently created some categories and sub-forums on my newly created forum. However the simple problem at hand here is that the forum DOES NOT show the same order as in the administrative panel, meaning all the categories are invisible unless in the administration panel. THAT IS, unless I click on a specific forum, test, and I'm told it's located in COTVU > RCM & ACM > test. Yeah guess what RCM & ACM was a category I created, and I wanted this forum to be under that one!!! Is that too much to ask!!! Sorry I am just way behind schedule and all this anti-user friendly shit I had to go through already. So I am hoping for a fast response.

If you have the code in your templates can you not just delete all of the code and reset it back to Default by pressing the red cross.

Topics tagged under phpbb2 on The forum of the forums Captu120

If you have other codes installed in the same template then you will need to re add it again after your reset it.

EDIT:

when you removed the code did you refresh the page and clear your browser cache and cookies? If No then i would do that and see if it's gone.
