    Posted: 24 April 2006 at 4:01am
I just upgraded to the latest version of the forum this weekend and everything seems to be running ok except a few users are reporting scrollbars inside of posts.  Basically any post that goes on for a bit appears as an iframe and they have to scroll inside of the individual post to read it all.

I am still working on getting some troubleshooting information from them, but so far it doesn't seem browser related.  One user reported they logged out of the forum with Firefox and the problem appeared when they were anonymous, but after they logged back in the issue went away.

I have not been able to reproduce this myself in IE or Firefox.  I was hoping maybe someone else has seen this and can shed a little light on the issue.

Thanks.

Unless you have modified the CSS files, scroll bars will only appear if the text or image is to large for the displayed area.

eg:-

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

This then creates the scrollbars for that message using CSS and a div area, not an Iframe.

This prevents the layout of the page from being messed up if the text or image is to large for the post area.

I really like this feature.  I have a lot of users that post oversized pictures, which mess's up the entire thread.  Having the scroll bars inside the posts really helps keep the threads clean.
