when previewing a reply in the forum (prior to posting said reply), it often runs off the right side of the page, with no horizontal scrollbar (see attached image)

psst.. that dumped some of my formatting once i posted it!
(it previewed with the correct formatting, but dumped the centering of the image and the two linked-lines under it after i hit submit)

hmm
and now i'm wondering if it was a fluke because when i previewed that last post, it didnt push off the right side of the screen...
but then when i previewed this one it did again? i'm thoroughly confused!!

maybe
maybe it's because you're getting old ;p
(just tried it, everything seems fine here)
hmm?
Colour me confused too - i can't replicate the run off the page thing, although I have seen similar things happen before (on other drupal sites and elsewhere) - it seems to be a problem with CSS, or at least a problem with certain Redmond-based browsers and CSS... difficult one to diagnose tho, everything seems okay in IE here (I even tried editing and previewing some of your posts above, and nothing..)
On the image centering thing - that again looks to be a CSS problem somewhere, of a different kind... looking at the source, the preview (which is centred for me too) and the post itself both have the same centered tag, so it's not stripping the formatting - it's just that, for some reason, that tag isn't working in the context of whatever CSS is formatting the actual post. If that makes any sense at all. I'll look into it

it seemed like it could be..
a css issue to me too, almost like the page content loaded before the css fully did or something? which, i suppose is possible... it looks like there are quite a few imported css files...

/modules/taxonomy_context/taxonomy_context.css;
/themes/boinng/style.css;
)
maybe combining them in one @import tag will help? or even combining them into one file to be imported? i really have no idea...

errr...
did i break it??

appologies
it seems to have stipped my formatting again (the css file links/names were on seperate lines)

Right, well...
Removing the "flatforum" module solved the stripped formatting, so it's a problem with the (slightly hacky) flatforum gumph which tries to make drupal forums like this one look a bit like a "normal" forum... but if it's going to mess around with all this stuff, maybe we don't want it?
What do you reckon?

edit: but doesn't seem to work? the image didn't show in the preview or the post... (i told it to 'insert' once it uploaded.. is there another way to do it?)

knackers
yep, it does have a bug (tho it's avoidable).. basically it won't show anything in full size, at the moment you have to choose either "thumbnail" or "preview".. i'm trying to get a fix at the moment
Edit - of course with your image even they don't work, because the image is smaller than the thumbnail..

hmm...
is it fixed?
