The jump bar in the admin tool box is real long?  How can it be fixed?

Thanks for your time.

Does this occur on all web browsers?

that is an oldddddddddd stylesheet that I made before I knew what I was doing.   I cant tell by the screenshot (sorry) exactly what is going on?    I'll be happy to go back thru it again  (cus I should) and see if that has anything to do with this..     can you give us some more information?  Maybe explain what that is.. or a closer shot of it?   (sorry..  old eyess)

Got out a magnifying glass.. now I know what is going on.   The width of the forum is causing that to happen.

I looked thru the css on your forum and the css as I posted it here as I could tell that you made some changes to it colorwize (bordering) and some other things.     The forum width is different on your forum...   its set to 800px and should be 850px.     It may help stop that from happening as the forum would be wider.

Simplysibyl,

Yes.. I love it!  I did change the color of the boarder to match up more with my banner and I also changed the size of the padding some around the tables.  I did change the forum size too... I like less width, but I don't know if that is  the problem with the forum jump, because I when I changed it back to 850 the forum jump in the Admin box was still really long... it looked exactly the same... 

I always use Firefox .... and sorry I didn't think to check it out on IE .... normally I do .... I'll have to go look....

The above link is the same that I used originally ... so I'm not sure what that means. Maybe it could be something I added in the footer... although I don't have much in there, but I don't really know how what's in the footer could effect everything else .... I'm just learning all this stuff.

... so I'm off to check IE ....

Thank you for taking the time to look. 

.j.

its definitely something or a combination of somethings that you did with the css.    At that width that table cannot handle the information as it should.  I checked it on my test forum using the css from here with both firefox and IE.       Another thing could be -  what screen resolution are you at?  It can make a difference in how the page is displayed for you.    Ive checked it at 1024x768 on one machine and 1400x900 on this one.   Scratch that. it made no sense.   

It views fine using the css from here on my test forum.
I put your header and footer information on my test forum too -  all works fine.
On your forum with the changes that you made to the css its messed up...   it has to be the width and the changes to the table settings, padding, etc that you did.

Wow .... It's totally different on IE.... the jump bar is fine on IE ...but... everything is centered. All Board titles and text is center, all the posts and replies are centered (which doesn't really look right) and the everything on the Info Center is Centered.  Can it be right left aligned on IE .... on Firefox it comes up left aligned.  Sorry I don't know how to go about changing it myself or I would try... but if you tell me what I might be able to do I give it a try.

Sibyl .... I didn't see your posts before I posted ..... I thought it had gone thru and when I returned two hours later I saw that it hadn't .... OK ... I'm going to change the padding and the forum width back .....

Remove the last <center> that is at the bottom of you Header and it will fix the issue with everything being centered on the forum.

Thanks sibyl....

 :D  You are not going to believe this ..... I changed the padding back to 45 and width back to 850 ... it is still the same as the screen shot in my original post and !! now !! it looks that way on IE too.  At 800 on IE is was fine .....  My screen resolution is 1024 X 768 ...

Oh my .... well its just the admin box ... and know one can see it but me .... so I'm not going to worry about it ..... I like the skin and I really don't want to change it just because of the Admin box ................

Thank you for sending my your link ... I see that everything is fine.  Maybe it's my computer ...
I appreciate all your help and time ...  but not to worry I can live with it and perhaps is will correct itself ... and I can always ask my son to take a look when he is over.

 :) :)

Er others can see it .   I can see it when viewing your forum.    You must have changed something else in there that has effected it.    You said its fine for you on my test forum correct?

Would you consider grabbing the css from here and putting it on your forum.     Then if you want to edit the colors go for it but leave the  body rule area of it alone.    Make one change at a time.   THen refresh your browser to see if it is okay.   Espeically if you change the .tborder and .bordercolor rules.

You can create a forum to use as a test site to do this on so that you can get it correct then move it to your own forum when its done.
