Testing out new Lightbox feature... please confirm it's working for you...

[John]

John, you've done a great job on the lightbox idea, I love it  :up:.
That being said, I don't want to take anything away from the great job your doing with the forum, but one problem still remains with the wide photo thing.
The text is still the same width as the photos that are posted, and you still have to scroll over to read it.
If your working on this part of the problem still, then I'm sorry for jumping the gun.

thanks for the feedback, I will see what can be done.  please send me private message with a link to a post where you're experiencing this and I'll take a look at it.

John,

I have the same problem and will later send you the link to the example. I noticed that if I post a picture that is saved as a jpg at 72 dpi rather than one at 300 dpi, there is no problem with having an oversized picture and the text that extends out with it.

Okay, here's the deal...  I had originally set things up to have the forum resize the images posted to 800px on their longest side.  Obviously, based on screen resolution and/or monitor size this can cause images to not fit and the scroll bars appear, etc.  Also note that if someone has removed the image and it no longer is visible in the forum that the lightbox function just will stick on a blank white screen. 

I have changed it so that the longest side of any posted image is now 600px... let me know if this fixes the scrolling issue for those who are experiencing it.    When the images are clicked on, they will open in their original size.

Here is an example... probably overkill, but it demonstrates what I'm referring to.  Let me know if you see the scroll bars at 600px.

Hi John,

No scroll bars.  :up2:

Hi John,

On my monitor in normal view it has a scroll bar, once I kill the sidebar it is displayed without.

This post is an example of what happens now to me:

Even with the sidebar killed and in full screen mode I can't reach the scroll bar whilst I'm trying to read the text.

I know when I first started with OPR, it didn't matter what size you posted your photos they displayed within the page without having to remove the sidebar, I usually resize to 800x600 and they never were a problem.

What's the resolution of your screen Max?  Size of your monitor? 

The only other thing that we can do without making posted pictures look like thumbnails is make the forum width 100% of the page, which I just changed.

Let me know if that makes any difference.  If it doesn't fix it, it's probably just going to have to be something to deal with, unfortunately.

Hi John,


Thats fixed it.  ;D With your new photo size it displays in the normal screen, and on the other link I gave you it displays without scroll bars when I kill the sidebar. Great work. Now I don't have an inch of waste space either side of my screen. :up:

My monitor is 19" and resolution is 1024x768.

This will make viewing much more enjoyable, thanks John.

I don't know, guys.  I mean, John's very talented.  I admit that.  But we've been mooned in this thread by said webmeister.  Is that appropriate to our mandate?  Dave, you might want to consider that before you invite him to do our website.  There ARE, after all, old people in the room!

Great work John, works beautifully. :up:

If that's John's moon, he may want to seek the help of a dermatologist. Pronto.
