Speaking of the forum's appearance, how is it that some posts have a scroll bar at the side (whatever length they are), whereas others do not? That's in Firefox, by the way.

It is an error by the vBulletin designers in the css code which they use. If you look you will see it only happens in Firefox when the poster does not have a signature line stored in his profile and automatically displayed in his posts.

While I am slating off vBulletin, does anybody get annoyed when a green grass bar displays across the screen before the page comes up? It is most noticeable when the server is struggling to put together the files to send out over the internet. I have counted 5 javascript files and 4 CSS files being sent as well as the HTML and all the pictures for the flashing adverts etc. Despite all this going on, it is not set up so that we can choose to display in-line pictures uploaded to the forum server in more than thumb nails.

I did once install an earlier version of vBulletin on a website. But I quickly dumped it when I could stand the grass growing on my screen.

Same here. I've just done some test posts, deleting them each time, and this is the result:

Quick reply gets no scroll bar.

Going back into the Quick reply to edit out a mistake gets a scroll bar result

Using Advanced mode to reply gets a scroll bar.

I've no idea why, but it's in our control in a sense.

As you see from my above post, the reply method varies the result. I use Firefox but don't have a signature line.

Flecc,
it amy depend on browser version since it it a css problem. I note that in my IE which is an old version there were not scroll bars, where as my "up to date" Firefox 4.0.1 has them. For my posts it makes no difference whether I use Quick reply or advanced editing - i have a signature line and I think never get a scroll bar on my posts. Obviously things are different for your browser.

This reply is the quick reply. The previous one was advanced, and then edited - never any scroll bars here.

Safari 5.0.5 has them but as this is a quick reply maybe not!

No not even after an edit.....

At least I can control whether I get them or not, now that's real power!
