Broken

Hi
When logged out, the whole forum is extremely broken looking. Using Nightly 8.0. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention

 

Some of us are having problems as well, see if yours is the same. Read here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=241323

Most of us are on stable builds of Fx and other browsers. Mine are showing the same problems in Fx 5.0, PM 5.0 and IE8

 

K David. Here are some screenshots of Fx v5.0 Please note that PaleMoon and IE8 browsers show exactly the same. The homepage of MG and Top Freeware picks look as usual so nothing wrong with those. AFAIK the forums are on a different server/address and don't know if it has anything to do with it. Noticed the change when the layout started to show differently perhaps a day or 2 ago? It's not the addons since I tried that and additionally, IE8 has not the same addons as Fx and PM.

Notice the difference when 1) not signed in versus 2) signed in. Thanks.

 

:confused I think somebody changed the format of the MG home page.... hmmm.... hacker??
I noticed several days ago too... same images as OMA's.... but when you click on for example [lounge], it rights itself...or... maybe the Admins are experimenting with the webpage to see if we's all paying attention :-D :confused

Hope it resolves itself...

 

If you're using nightly, you might want to check into a clinic...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm not a fan of the facebook thing either, since I keep getting pop ups, demaning I sign in to see what my friends like.

 

That hunch of mine in post #12 of this thread: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=241323 was right on then.

Thanks David for confirming.

 

Sorry for not replying. And yeah, oma's screenshots are the same thing I saw.
As a web developer, I had a hunch that it was a problem with either a missing div, or an extra div tag. Turned out to be the former.
I ran it through validator. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...e=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.2 (since it's a bot it's logged out) and it says Line 412, Column 8: end tag for element "div" which is not open. Then, I logged in, and copied and pasted the source into the validator's direct input area, and, look at that, the div was originally opened.

It's this that's causing the problem:

Code:

<!--
        <div>
            <div id="header_adcode">
            </div>
<!-- edit jim
        </div>
-->

If that were to be replaced with this:

Code:

        <div>
            <div id="header_adcode">
            </div>
<!-- edit jim
        </div>
-->

Then it would be fine

 

I sent MA a note about a little thing about a month ago.

They have bigger eggs to fry right now. :-D

They'll get around to it eventually.

Actually, I like the new look with the dark green outer matting. :cool

 

Perhaps this thread about not being able to login to MG Forums by people who are using older versions of Fx and Palemoon would need to be looked at by Tim and/or Jim since that will prevent many newcomers and members to get into MG forums.

Tim, this problem, or one very similar, is not restricted to Nightly builds, it's also affecting older 3.x versions of FX and K-meleon versions of a similar age.

I've checked with FX 3.6/KM 1.6 on my netbook and FX 3.6 and KM 1.6 on 2 other computers in the last 2 days, same result - see attachment. As FX 3.x is still in use by around 1/3 of Firefox users and many are reluctant to upgrade because they fear losing functionality, you could be missing a lot of hits from newcomers.

 

I don't have any problems with pages, signons etc. on other forums and websites and use the latest stable versions of Fx 5 and PM. No beta's or nightlies and have no trouble signing in myself. NEVER had since I started using Fx in the fall of 2004 any forums or page issues. As to for how much time Mozilla's support of Fx 3.6.x is concerned:

They all worked previously, in fact, my netbook's FX 3.6.16 auto-logged into the forums correctly - I logged out to see the same page as in my earlier attachment. Pretty sure it's a coding error on the front page of the forums.

 

YES vB4! :celebrate

And I have the same problem in Google Chrome, Chromium, and Konquerer.
