RIP Commerce Forum

[Pamela Galli]

It's been a long ride; I have learned a lot. But the forum seems finally to be on life support. I think just because they finally found a format that is even harder to decipher than the flog was. I mean, why is the thread title scrunched up like that? Why the starkness? Is all this on purpose? I don't know.

The table width is not scaling correctly to the thread titles. It is indeed stark.:smileysurprised:

I see it fine...I'm using Chrome for Mac. No idea if that's meaningful. But I agree, these forums are...not brilliant.

Using Chrome here too, but the text is wrapping short on the left side so it looks squished:smileywink: And the right box covers reply area.

Widen your browser window. This is what I see:

Probably have to right-click the image and open in a new window/tab to see it full size, but things line up well. And I absolutely love Cerise's Blue Goo theme fix.

It displays fine for me (IE8) except that the tabs overlay the breadcrumb links and part of the search box, which is very bad.

That's the problem with doing way too much of a site in css - there are too many browser implementation variations. To my way of thinking, it's just plain silly. css can be used well and it can be used badly and, imo, this forum design is css used badly.
