stretching reply box

[TheDel]

After upgrading from RC5 to 2 heres a complaint Im getting from my members

We hit reply and type and type and we can see what we are typing anymore because the white box just keeps getting longer and longer. Then when we hit reply the whole thing shrinks and looks normal then we can see what we wrote.

I tried duplicating this and everything seems fine for me
Thought it was a browser but everything is the same for me on FF, GC and IE
Several member are having this issue so its not isolated. Maybe something changed in Look and layout settings?

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:

Thanks so much-
I am using Curve
but did do alot of modding to it

[Illori]

then make sure that change is applied, if it is make sure the browser and server cache are cleared

[TheDel]

scratch that-
went in and checked- thats what I have so its not that-

plus I dont think its quick reply, i think its the standard reply (ya know after clicking reply button)

[Illori]

i believe they use the same code for css as this fix has fixed it both areas for others

Are you talking about this?  (See picture)

I have the same problem.  Not sure if it is my browser or a mod as Firefox just automatically installed me into a Beta for 5.0.
I only have maybe 15 mods installed, so between the two of us we might be able to narrow down which mod did it if it is a mod and not firefox.

[Illori]

yes that should be fixed by the same code as above

I have that in my index.css already as well and am getting that error, so must be some other place?

Code Select Expand

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

[Illori]

have you cleared your cache?

[C4G-TK]

 
TK walks away quietly and smashes head against the wall.

So, what's for lunch today?





@Illori
Thanks for the Doh101 advice!

I thought the cache cleared automatically when you installed mods?  I mean, I do clear my cache when images are involved, but not always with mods.

[Illori]

i dont think the cache is ever cleared just because you installed something, but i could be wrong.

[C4G-TK]

Thanks again!

[TheDel]

answer to the questions
Yes thats exactly whats happening. I didnt know until I tried it on FF here at work. Everything at home was working fine.

I have way too many mods installed but I didnt think it was the mods as I had the same ones before 2. and again, it was fine at home for me.

Wait...... browser cache or server?
Is the server cache Emptying the file cach button in Forum Maintenence section? Cause IVe dont that 3x already.

Browser

[Mike Bobbitt]

I had this issue, cleared the SMF file cache, and now all is well.

[TheDel]

Yeah I think Im w/C4G-TK in asking about that lunch-

Thanks guys!

[C4G-TK]

If it helps, I decided to have a veggie burger and while I waited for it to arrive to the table I had some hummus!  LOL

ROFL. This is actually a minor bug in 2.0 which we missed. http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=4750

It should append a ?20 suffix to the url's for editor.css and editor_ie.css when upgrading from RC's to Final, but it doesn't. If it did, you wouldn't need to clear your browser cache. We missed it because it's called in an unusual place and the people doing testing are clearing their caches so often that nobody ever noticed this. Sorry about that.
