Yep, for me it looks like this (though it was working fine with this skin yesterday) -

I've also noticed a weird rendering bug which I suspect is probably Firefox rather than this new skin (though I haven't noticed it with any other IPB boards or with the old skin): When scrolling up and down the page, I'll sometimes get black lines separating some of the topics like so -

And if I then scroll up and down the page these black lines will disappear and randomly be attached 'tween other topics. It's a weird one that's for sure !

the css needs to be adjusted.

 

#content {
 width: 928px;
}

the fixed-width version is still broken in ff3. changing the width of #content to 928px will fix it.

Same here..

:spiteful:

Has the new skin gone?Is it just being updated?

Erm, yeah. Lemme explain...

The forum software came out with a critical security update, and I diligently keep up on these things, and 99% of the time, they go flawlessly. This time, everything went fine, and when I went to check the forums, I got an error.

Did some searching, found a few vague references to this kind of error, but nothing concrete. Back to my own troubleshooting.

I noted that if I deleted my cookies, the forum worked fine, so that led me to believe that it might be the skin (even though the upgrader typically goes through the installed skins and updates them). Every time I tried logging in, I got the error, and eventually ended up deleting the skins - and still got the error.

Then, I did some more searching, and someone who experienced this issue mentioned rebuilding the skin cache that is stored in the database - and that's what fixed it.

I'll try this weekend or sooner to reapply the skin, make the edits for both a fixed and fluid width version, and perhaps even customize it a bit more.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I see oh well, i found it alot nicer, hope to see it up again soon.

I miss its lovely greyness. (no I didn't say gayness, or anus ... stop sniggering at the back there Hopkins)

I actually realized I like this skin better sans white background.

yeah, we need an 'everything is broken' skin, dead image links, broken burgers, text running off the page, etc. that'd be awesome
