Quick Question...

...I've noticed that my site when 1st loaded in FireFox will stretch and have a horizontal scroll bar. It usually goes away after an F5. I'm stumped as to why it does this. Any ideas...?

Looking at your source code, I found a couple of oddities...

You know... I was playing around with your page, and when I disabled Javascript, in my browser, it worked fine, every time. So, my best guess would be that your Shout Box is causing the problem. It only happens when your page is cached. If I disable caching, it works fine too.

Try disabling the Shout Box and see what happens...

...ok, found and fixed both of those. 1st one occurred 2 times in block-User_Info. Once at the latest 3 members section and then again at the downloads section. This is what was there...

Code:

$content .= "<div align=\"center\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=$TBLWIDTH>

...I changed it to...

Code:

$content .= "<div align=\"center\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\">

...and it still works so that's gotta be good Wink

2nd occurred in a custom RSS block. I left out a quotation on the table width, lol Very Happy

Thanks for the info and investigating, I'll look into the Shoutbox now and see what happens next Wink

...ok narrowed it down to the block-ForumsScroll. I'm stumped looking at it tho cause it all looks kosher (at least in my limited knowledge) Confused

I'd post the block here but the site is blocking me...

...well, I guess I'll have to scrap the block-ForumsScroll. I can't seem to find anything wrong with it yet I'm 99% sure it's the cause of the stretching in FF.

Anyone know of any other decent forum blocks?
