Pictures in scrolling boxes

Post by Aidan McCarthy »

Hi,

Since the upgrade on quite a few posts the pictures appear in a scrolling box, you see the top half of the picture and have scroll down to see the rest of the picture. This is a bit annoying as you never see the full picture. Is there a setting to force it to show the whole picture?

Thanks

Aidan

Hi Aiden,
Thanks for that info. I had not noticed that change in behaviour. Let me take a look at it.

Hi again, Aiden,
I cannot find such a post. Is it possible that you can post links to such a posting or two please. A screen capture to illustrate the issue might also be useful too. Thanks.

I've just looked at that topic on my laptop and I don't have any problem - I can see whole pictures with no scrolling box.

Could it be an interaction between the forum and Aidan's screen settings?

The screen shot form Aidan shows the problem OK but I do not experience that either.
I am using the Aero Red template and Firefox, so this might be an issue with Internet Explorer or with the proSilver template or both. I have to do more research.

Checked again on my home laptop, a notebook with a very small screen, and no problem. Both laptops running Firefox, one on Windows and one on Linux Ubuntu, and I use AeroRed.

Yes! I get this with the proSilver template! Not with the AeroRed. Now to find out why.

Sometime I have also pictures in a scrolling box.
You can see the whole picture if you make a klick or double klick on that picture. Then the scrolling box disappear and the whole picture is to see.
Hope I could help a little bit.

I just tried it. In aero red it works just fine, no scrolling. In pro silver I get the scrolling boxes.

Oops.. just seen that Steve already discovered this... exits to the forest.....

Have always had loooong pictures in scrolling boxes - which I also hate. However, as Aidan has pointed out - a click solves the problem!
