phpBB2 forum problems..

DaveyBoy · 09-03-2007, 01:59 PM

OK, just installed a copy of phpBB2 on my server, have been tweaking it all up and everything. The only problems I have that I need answers to are the following :

1) I have specified in the CSS file that I want the forum to have a fixed width of 850px, and margin: auto for centering it. The problem here is that while it works perfectly in firefox, IE doesn't seem to read this part of the code as it is still a liquid, full-width forum in IE. Any ideas of a way around this?

2) I embedded a SWF file above the main menu in the 'overall_header.tpl' file, and again this works perfectly in Firefox but in IE it doesn't show at all. Any ideas, anybody?

I will be very grateful if anyone could show me what i'm doing wrong

Thanks!

Davey.

Are you talking about this forum : www.memvis.com/phpBB2/ ?

DaveyBoy, did you solve your problems yet? Sounds like the first problem is due to using "max-width". That isn't supported in IE. Don't know about the swf though.

I was asking because in both IE6 & IE7 the page looks just fine. The content is centered and the flash is showing up... [shrug]
