Quoting Cruxador, reply 26Also the bid space at the top may look pretty, but scrolling past it for every thread is just annoying. Get rid of it, or put an anchor point at the beginning of OP's point and have links point to that anchor point.

Quoting juryal, reply 27This. The large gap at the top of every forum page is pretty annoying. On my desktop it doesn't matter but on my laptop it's slightly more annoying.

I reduced the space substantially. You can't see the background as well now, but function over form, right?

From a functional perspective it's good now. If you want to preserve the visibility of the background in some cases, you could maybe provide a bit of inline css on the main forum page (the one you see at https://forums.elementalgame.com/) so that only that page has the content start lower. I don't know much about .php though, so for all I know that could be more trouble than it's worth.

Ditto, forums are stuffed, also with Firefox 3.6.25.

Sure I probably should be on a newer version but it just goes to show that some of us aren't yet. Since the forums are linked to from the main Elemental game website it is something that the Stardock web developers should probably look into.

I know I thought Stardock had stuffed up the forums until I read this post and realised it worked fine for others and it was my browser version. You don't want new visitors to the Elemental Game website thinking that.

Cheers.

This is the argument that kept the world using IE6. Upgrade!

I've resolved the issues with Firefox 3.6, but I highly recommend you upgrade to the latest version of Firefox as there's no reason to stay on an older version. The latest versions provide a better UI and experience, enhanced security, and have the latest and greatest in HTML and CSS support.

P.S. And while you may think v3.x is ancient compared to 9.x, just remember that Firefox started upgrading their browser monthly/semi-monthly just a few months ago. The latest version of v3.6 is less than 6 months old!!!!

Thanks Gunslinger! I have the newer versions on my home computers, but work computers have to stay at the lower levels to be compatible with some of our older software... see you knew there had to be a reason right?

We live in a world post-Chrome, where updates happen fast and often. Firefox may not auto-update like Chrome does, but it does let the user know that an update is available. Ignoring the update isn't something I would recommend, especially as the web moves forward. There's a reason IE6/7 have been around for so long, because Microsoft didn't make it easy to update and so users don't update. Let's try to avoid that for other browsers.
