MyBB Community Forums

I have noticed something funny with my MyBB forum.

Note: The forum is wrapped in a table with my other site contents. Please check here: http://www.unitedwargamers.net

When I scroll the pages new/reply/edit thread/post, the whole container with the textarea and the code buttons does not scroll with the rest of the page, but looks like it's pinned down on the screen.

The problem appears only in the Windows Internet Explorer (Version 7), Firefox scrolls the textarea correct!!!

That would make me assume it's how the browser handles it.

There are plenty of ways to alter behaviour using the CSS attributes.

Try adding a div area around the table your forum is in, and try different positioning attributes. IE7's CSS isn't too great - so it's probably best to try and get your users to use something different, both for security and usability.

If you're unsure of the positioning, check out http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_position.asp. You're probably wanting the relative option... just experiment really and see what you can come up with...

Yep, thanks. Seems that my own CSS causes a conflict with the board CSS in IE7. I have solved the problem by replacing my 'DIV' - container with a simple table. Was the most easy way.
