This is NOT a bug and the popup admin page has been designed to behave in this way.

In previous versions the features listed under this pop up admin page remained static for all posts and all forums which meant that the page could be set at a set size with all the features displayed neatly within it.

However, in version 8.05 this pop-up has been completely redesigned and will display many new options within it, but the number of options displayed can change as it depends on the many other thinsg like if events are allowed in the forum etc.

This means the number of options displayed is now dynamic, so to accommodate the changing size of this pop-up page scroll bars have been introduced. This does mean that you may have to scroll to see all the options if they are unable to all fit within the page.

Also for you page to display the way it has in your picture, djlurch, suggests that you have not fully updated your forum correctly.

The title of the page not displaying correctly was a bug in previous versions, which suggests that you have not updated all your forum files with that from the latest version. This may also help sortout your other issues.

I nuked the entire forum folder. Then I installed 8.05. Are there two versions of 8.05?

Maybe you don't consider it a bug, but I do. UI issues can be bugs.

If it is by design then it's not a bug, in this case the page acts like that by design. If it's that bigger deal you could always purchase a license so that you can modify the code and change it to how you like, but you will find it hard as the page is dynamic so you won't know how big the page will be or how many options would be included.

I thought you said it was because my install wasn't current. Were you mistaken?

What multiple options are there?

The error with the title of the page not being correct was a problem with your install.

The new options include being able to change the topic icon if enabled, changing and setting event dates if the forum you are in permits, and a number of others things I don't recall at the present time.

Again, I completely deleted the wwf folder and installed 8.05. How could this be a problem with my install?

I just checked the source code of the admin page. Changing this:


<table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="tableTopRow" style="table-layout: fixed;">


to this:


<table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="tableTopRow">


Fixes the issue of the title not displaying properly.
