It likely means that some of the add-ins, style changes, and edits we do to tailor vBulletin to our needs have violated the standards. Is this creating a problem for you in any way?Quote:

While were here why is there 2 sets of scroll bars.
Its mildly irritating when reading the forum using the keyboard.
I have to keep going back to the mouse to click outside the tread to use the outer scroll bars. It also means that I have to scroll over to see the whole thread sometimes when there is plenty of room in the window
I'm sure it's there for a reason but hey, if you don't ask.
It is likely your browser. What are you using? I can't see from the picture.
W3C compliance, though very good, can be a bit tough to reach some times, especially when your dealing in a CMS. We strive to reach it, but sometimes it is impossible. For instance, the code used to embed flash into a html page is not w3c compliant, so if your going to use any flash, then you can pretty much give up on making you site fully compliant. I have read about ways to make it so, but they seemed like a lot of work for something so minor. Still, I respect the W3C for all they have done. Where would we be without CSS.

Paul -
How do you access the forum? Are you using www.straightrazorplace.com/forums?
Or do you go through the main page on www.straightrazorplace.com?
Hmmm... I don't have two scroll bars on my WinXP system. I tried using both Firefox and IE browsers, both loaded via the main site and directly... I only ever have a single (vertical) scroll bar.Quote:

Shows you how long it's been since I've done it that way. Glad for the updated info, Joe. Thanks.Quote:

If I enter through www.straightrazorplace.com/forums? the frame is gone.
Thank you
IE7 BTW I tried firefox and found no discernible difference so stick to what your used to.
That might seem to fix it, but that's not the problem because when you click Community/forums from the main screen it takes you to www.straightrazorplace.com/forums... so either way your're going to the same place. And with my copy of IE7 I don't get a double scroll bar no matter what options I try that might affect it. What version of IE7 are you running? Do you have any add-ons installed?
I have 3 pc's at home and 2 in work all run xp and various versions of ie7, all behave in the same way.
OK, granted, I'm an idiot...and I don't think that would surprise anyone....but could it have to do with monitor size/settings? I never seem to have the scroll bars on my laptop, which has a wide screen monitor.
-whatever

That was my first guess too, but I played with various screen settings yesterday and could never get the second scroll bar to appear. Admittedly I gave up pretty quickly since there are n! variations to try and n is substantial. It also could be an older version of IE7 or a javascript thing.Quote:

very possible at home (self installs) but I work for hp and pc setup is automated so it would be unusual if I repeated some same error at home.
It looks to me like if I open new posts from srp.com it responds by opening forums in a frame. Could this be an option I have chosen in IE7?

It indeed loads the forum in a frame and from that point forward in the session the forum functions inside that frame.
When David changed the Community/Forums menu call to load the forum in a window rather than in a frame he missed updating this area. When one of us gets a chance we'll take care of it.
Until we change it, you can avoid this problem by loading the forum either directly ( www.straightrazorplace.com/forums/ ) or by using the main site's menu "Community/Forums". Eitherway, once the forum is loaded you can click "New Posts" on the forum's navbar (or whatever other action you desire).
Who's the MAN???
