Yes...its messed up. When the large text spans a second line that second line overlaps the first line and the bottom of it is cut off. |

edit the css file of the skin ur forum used
eg.
css_styles/default/default_style.css
find
/* Forum posts */
.msgBody{ width: 100%; margin: 2px; float: left; overflow: auto; } and then add
.msgBody * {font-size:auto;line-height:150%;}
behind the red code above

| Should everyone make this CSS change - is it a problem with all of the standard CSS files or is this a workaround for info_tech only? I've not noticed the issue on my forum... |

Not sure if that is the best solution, but this will be looked into a tested for the next release. There only appears to be a few minor bugs in the current release which slipped through the beta testing, but will have version 9.01 released by the end of this week to clearup these minor issues. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

thanks tenkuking, but that didn't fix it either... we'll wait for the new release and see what happens. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |

I just pasted that exact text into my V9 forum and don't have a problem...
I have modded the standard CSS file for colours etc...don't know how my mods might have fixed it but they have. When I go back to the default CSS I get the problem.
I'll get my CSS to Borg if he wants it.

I have traced why my CSS works and the standard ones do not. Only Borg can really say if I did the right thing but here it is.
Near the top of the standard CSS it says:
/* Text for most CSS classes */
body, .text, .smText, .error, a, a.smLink, a.msgLink, a.tLink, .WebWizRTEtextarea, .basicTable, .errorTable, .tableRow, .tableTopRow, .tableBottomRow, .evenTableRow, .oddTableRow, .hiddenTableRow, .PMtableRow, .PMmsgBody, .msgBody, .msgEvenTableRow, .msgOddTableRow, .msgHiddenTableRow, .msgOddTableSide, .msgEvenTableSide, .msgSignature, .calDateCell, .calTodayCell, .BBquote, .BBcode { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color : #000000; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; }
The 'line-height' parameter forces all line heights to 16px and of course if you select a very large font this is not enough. I simply deleted this parameter and let the font size determine the line height.

The solution is replace in the body section of the CSS file:- line-height: 16px; With: line-height: 1.4; This stops the text from being scrunched up which gives a much cleaner look for the forum, but also works for larger text sizes as the line spacing is now taken from the size of the text. This has been tested in Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE7, IE6, and Netscape, and appears to work for all of them. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

As you host your forum with us Neno, I will make sure either myself or someone else will make this change to your forum on the server later today, so you don't need to wait for the next release. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
