MyBB Community Forums

Few days ago I've noticed a problem on some forums (and their templates).

This is what i see with IE7 :

Forum Test



It seems that IE doesn't load correctly the background of categories; I thought first it was caused by .png files but in fact they are all .gif.

Also here I see in the same way



It's less noticable, but the problem is the same.. If you change browser you wont see any issue; with firefox all is great.

Unfortunately lots of users are still using IE and I must try to fix this


P.S.

In this forum I see everything right also using IE7, so I'm sure it's possible to fix it; I've searched on wiki related section but unfortunately I didn't find nothing useful.


Someone can help me please? Thank you very much!

Moved to templates / themes

Contact the original author of the theme and see if he/her can correct it.

I've contacted him, but he has no idea (as me ) on how to fix it

Check if everything's in order with the "thead" part in the css.
It might have overline and white background as decoration?

Otherwise, just re-upload the theme.

For the record; it is her and not he.

I can't figure out what the problem is. I see it fine on my end in Opera, Konqueror, and Firefox. It is working fine over here.

If they work on one of them, they'll usually work on all three. Thanks to Microsoft, IE doesn't follow other browsers, and doesn't seem to give a damn about CSS standards

I can't really see what the problem is either.
Your template seems a little wrong (or are you trying to fiddle with it?)
Probably won't help, but try replacing, in the forumbit_depth1_cat template:

<td style="background: url(images/SmoothBlue/cat_tbg.gif) repeat-x" align="center" width="100%"><div class="expcolimage"><img src="images/SmoothBlue/collapse.gif" id="cat_1_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" /></div>
<span class="thead"><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=1">My Category</a></strong><br /><div class="smalltext"></div></strong></div></span>
</td>

with:

<td class="thead" align="left" width="100%"><div class="expcolimage"><img src="images/SmoothBlue/collapse.gif" id="cat_1_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" /></div>
<strong><a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=1">My Category</a></strong><br /><div class="smalltext"></div>
</td>

(note, this isn't the exact thing - you'll have to change a few things)

I'm sorry

I also see the forum correctly using firefox, but IE gives always this problem
