IE 7 new update blew up my page.
Got several complaints from users that the images on the new page are pushing the menus on the right off their page. I confirmed this on my own system with IE7. Happens if I use Force Simple layout also.

Exact Version is 7.0.5730.11

Jack Burton: Hey, what more can a guy ask for?
Egg Shen: Oh, a six-demon bag!
Jack Burton: Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?
Egg Shen: Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!
hmm..guess I should update IE7.

IE7 doesn't deal with the "overflow:auto" in the nice way that Firefox does. As a result, it just prints the images in full without making the scroll bar that you'd expect.

I suggest trying to cut down your image size in the news posts, and provide a link to the full image.

Eventually, I'd like to write some code that will auto-resize images that are found to be "too big" but for now, you'll have to do that yourself.

Or download Firefox?

Herein lies the dilemma. I use FireFox. Half my guild doesn't. While they may be good wow players you'd be suprised at the number of people out there that are either content with all Microsoft has to offer or are internet newbs.

With IE, the options are as follows:

1) Statically defined table widths, defined by pixels and not with percents (15%). width:150px will generate a scrollbar. width:15% will not. This obviously causes a bit of a problem with things like the news page which should innately stretch.

2) Resize your images, and use links to the larger images. ie [url=http:/imageurl]http:/url/of/small/image[/url]

3) Write Microsoft and tell them to make overflow:auto work properly.


I'd say that's the best approach. Personally, I'd prefer to have a nice 400x300 thumbnail type image in the news, and have it be a link, perhaps to the gallery.

LOL I'd really like to tell Microsoft that their vacuum cleaner doesn't suck. Thus I like option 3. I just haven't gotten around to resizing the images and reposting them.
