Quick reply box 3 screens wide?

[dsantana]

Can anyone tell me why the quick reply box would be 3 times wider than my forum and where I might go to fix it?

What browser (and version...and maybe operating system) are you using?
Are you using the default theme or a custom one?
Try using the default if you are using another one and try cleaning the cache of your browser.

I think it could be an issue with css and the fix for the number of rows in 2.0 final, updating your custom theme and cleaning the cache should fix it.

take a look at

Hello there.

Try with this, in index.css change:

Code Select Expand

#quickReplyOptions form textarea
{
    height: 100px;
    margin: 0.25em 0 1em 0;
}


to this:

Code Select Expand

#quickReplyOptions form textarea
{
    height: 100px;
    width: 635px;
    max-width: 100%;
    min-width: 100%;
    margin: 0.25em 0 1em 0;
}

Also, if your theme isnt built for 2.0 (but it is for RC5) please read this topic with tip to update theme from RC5 to 2.0 version:

I changed the custom theme to that code... The default already had that code in it.
It didn't help though.. This is what was in the custom theme...

Code Select Expand

{
width: 91%;
height: 100px;
margin: 0.25em 0 1em 0;
}That appears as though it should work too?

Google Chrome... And I just looked at it in IE and it's fine... So it's a browser issue?

[emanuele]

Did you clean the cache?
Antechinus tested it with Chrome, so it should work.

[dsantana]

Yes I did clear the cache...
The correct location for index.css would be in the default theme and my custom theme correct? Or is there another index.css file I'm missing?

[Illori]

it has to be in index.css for all themes that are used on your forum.

[dsantana]

So I went to my test forum and started uninstalling things...
I uninstalled everything and still had the problem.
The only this that was left was the Ostara theme.
I changed back to the default Curve theme and it was good.
So what in the theme could be screwing it up?

Thanks for all your help

[Illori]

you need to add the above code to the index.css file for that theme.

thanks  - this fixed my problem too.. my quick reply box was spanning out too long...
maybe making quick reply visible and always open will encourage my readers to comment.

ok this worked for me but what about when you post a new thread ? whats the fix for that?

[Illori]

please open a separate thread in the proper support thread.

Add this:

Code Select Expand

.editor
{
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
}

at the beginning of your editor.css file.
Of course as usual empty the cache to see the changes.

Not sure if it is necessary, but you can also change:

Code Select Expand

.richedit_resize
{
height: 5px;
font-size: 0;
background: #eee url(../images/bbc/resize-handle.gif) no-repeat 50% 1px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-top-width: 0;
cursor: s-resize;
}

to:

Code Select Expand

.richedit_resize
{
height: 5px;
font-size: 0;
background: #eee url(../images/bbc/resize-handle.gif) no-repeat 50% 1px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-top-width: 0;
cursor: s-resize;
width: 100%;
padding: 0 2px;
}
