Title: Everyone with a brain hates IE. But, some people still use it. A small tip...

If you're a moderator and have compatibility mode enabled for IE, the "move topic" bar, to pick the boards, doesn't show up correctly.

Here's fix:

index.template.php

Code (find) Select
<head>';

Code (replace) Select

<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EDGE" />';


That disables the compatibility mode in IE and makes it use the latest version.

With thanks to the illustrious Illori. :)

Thanks. I have a gmod who occasionally (tho not always) seems to report this problem where the move-to dropdown is too thin or playing hide-and-seek.

I'd slap the gmod and force him to use a decent browser. ;)

Lol. There's only so much you can do to a luddite  :o


Anyway, the above does indeed seem to sort out the issue so thanks for posting it (and thanks to Her Illoriness for imparting)  :laugh:

Nothing like a good bit of imparting, that's what I say. :)

I'm hoping that I can get her to contribute, herself, again, eventually.

Long and bumpy road, though, that.(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.katzy.dsl.pipex.com%2FSmileys%2Fc032.gif&hash=0e34dea1976d688cd47f1645fcd85c83f86b3047)

Probablement une bonne idée.
