Site layout when browsing with Mozilla Firefox

[Nick]

Hi Passive Observer,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse forums! [] The issue that you mentioned has been brought up before, and is something that does occur to everyone who uses Mozilla and Firefox. There is mention of it in the following thread:

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11384

The problem may actually be a Mozilla bug, and not the Astral Pulse. I run linux on one of my computers and windows xp on the others. The one with linux uses mozilla and there is no large space here at the AP. However, on my work computer I have Win XP and Firefox and there is that particular 'bug'. So at home I use Win XP and IE6 when visiting the Astral Pulse.

If you read the other thread, you'll see a link to a Mozilla forum on browser issues. I haven't followed up with them on this, however if I do find something out, I'll post a fix. []

Very best,
Nick

Thanks for the greeting!  The bug is really no biggie.

Another non-related, no biggie question:

Has there ever been discussion on changing the forum layout?  There are some forums that seem to have a very good ergonomic and clean interface (like some vbulletin boards ive been to).  Has this idea been brought up before?  Is that practical, or would it be too difficult and time consuming?

The forum layout is a Snitz forums model. The administrator here, Adrian, runs the servers (and the forum engine) from the Isle of Man. Just how any other 'forum model' could work would be something that Adrian would have to answer. Perhaps he'll see this thread, however if I had to guess, I'd say that changing the look of the forum may be pretty involved.[]


Very best,
Nick

I am using Firefox (alternative to Internet Explorer) to browse the internet.  When I goto this forum, I see the astral pulse header, then a  bunch of blank lines and the bold forum word in the center.  If i scroll down about a page long, I get the rest of the forum, which looks normal.
