New Board?

[Koroby]

I use 3.6.18 Firefox, and fixed it by using NoScripts to forbid a site called gstatic.com from working. Everything seems to be working fine now.

I use NoScript as well. Good job on troubleshooting the issue!

For Fred:

I looked into the poorly placed search box and found the following in the rtl.css file:

#searcharea {
   left: 2em;
   right: auto;
   float: left;
   margin:0 0 0 22px;
   background:url(../images/theme/search_bg.png) no-repeat;
}
#searcharea .inputbox {
   margin: 5px 19px 0 0;
   padding: 3px 7px 4px 5px;
   float: right;
}

You should be able to move it by changing margin:0 0 0 22px; to something like margin:0 0 0 100px; or so. Hope that helps.

Now, to fix the quote mark issue you'll have to go to the index.css file here:

/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote
{
   font-size: x-small;
   color: #000;
   line-height: 1.4em;
   background: url(../images/theme/quote.png) 0.1em 0.1em no-repeat;
   border-top: 2px solid #99A;
   border-bottom: 2px solid #99A;
   padding: 1.1em 1.4em;
   margin: 0.1em 0 0.3em 0;
   overflow: auto;
}

/* Alterate blockquote stylings */
blockquote.bbc_standard_quote
{
   background-color: #d7daec;
}
blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote
{
   background-color: #e7eafc;
}

Do get rid of the silly quotation mark you can remove this line: background: url(../images/theme/quote.png) 0.1em 0.1em no-repeat;

Or if you want to leave the background tag in as a reminder of where its at I think you can replace it as such: background: null. (El Diablo has pointed out that background: " " may work better.) I could be mistaken on the syntax.

You can play with the rest of the blockquote with the syntax in the above quote. If you want to make a box I believe the tags are border-left and border-right.

Someone please correct me if I made a mistake. 

(Also, Fred just changed the smiles again. HI FRED!)

Does the forum work better in Firefox?  I usually use bog standard internet explorer...

YIKES!  *stares mesmorized at what was just posted on the board by Aakaakaak*

Are you trying to hypnotize us into becoming your zombies, because right now.....I don't understand any of that and the world would blow up if I even tried to.

[Aakaakaak]

Rofl, as long as you don't divide by zero I think we'll be alright. I'm pretty sure Fred will get it pretty easy. Once you know how to make your own HTML the rest starts coming easier.

[Alilisa]

Whewww  the world can be at peace again knowing that.    I know some html, enough to do a simple website (the old old kind, not the new stuff.....and I've tried!!), nothing comes easy for me..I'm a hands on type person...if my hands not on it, I can't do it

Tried that. Box didn't budge. Set it back.

[Alilisa]

*really resists the urge to suggest changing margin:0 0 0 22pm; to something like  1 8 7 21pq; in the trtle.rn file just to see what would happen then*

*looks up innocently* 

you guys aren't going to hurt me or anything are you?

*blink, blink*

[Aakaakaak]

Crud. Well I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Did the blockquote thing work?

YES! So I'm batting 500...

[Aakaakaak]

Okay, I think I have it this time. Back to the index.css file.

#searcharea {
   clear: both;
   position: absolute;
   bottom: 20px;
   right: 2em;
   padding: 0;
   display:block;
   float:right;
   margin:0 22px 0 0;
   width:191px;
   height:30px;
   background:url(../images/theme/search_bg.png) no-repeat;
}
#searcharea .inputbox {
   font: 12px "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode",Arial,sans-serif;
   width: 140px;
   height:13px;
   line-height:13px;
   margin:5px 0 0 19px;
   padding:3px 5px 4px 7px;
   float:left;
   background: none;
   border: none;
   color: #ccc;
}

Change float:right; to float:left; and see how far over it moves. You may have to play with the margins in #searcharea .inputbox if the internal text doesn't move. If the float doesn't move it then the #searcharea margins might move it.

Float didn't, adding in a margin-right of 100px did. Is that enough?

[Fyrchick]

Hey, look at that!
It still covers a tiny part of the bottom left corner but that isn't a big deal.

Thanks!

[Aakaakaak]

150-200px would be ideal I think. Great job understanding my ramblings.
