Horizontal Scrolling < 960px with sticky header

johnny_adidas

I am open to correction as this may be just an issue im having or maybe it is deemed a required feature already but ever since the change of site design, Im now unable to scroll across, in a reduced width browser page through the list of forums or over to the login link

I have reverted back to the old design/skin which allowed me to do this without having to maximise the browser, however searches still load using the new version causing the same issue.

This was particularly handy while using a reduced browser while in work or using multiple programs as i could leave it open to one side but still have full use of the rest of the screen.

I'm running Windows 7 (32bit) with Google Chrome (22.0.1229.94 m) and sometimes I like to view the thread in Windowed mode, which you can use with Windows 7 and as shown in the image, where the windows "snap" on either side.

However, I've noticed that when you do this with boards.ie, the right side of the site is cut off, even though it's scrolled across fully. This means that "My Forums", access to the control panel (via clicking on your user name) and any forums passed "Region" on the forum drop down.

Is there any way to fix this? I've added a photo to illustrate.

Boards.ie: Danny

The sticky header is a fixed element with 960px width so it doesn't move and expects the window viewport to be at least 960px wide. I suspect we'll have to add in some handling on our side to fix this.

The solution we've implemented is that the sticky header will unstick at widths less than 960px. The scroll bar will work as expected once this occurs.

Just tested and it works definitely on my side.

Now if only every business had as good customer service!

What size window do you use boards in?

I use it in work and I usually go to about a 150mm x 100mm size in the corner, because technically I'm not supposed to be on-line and I work in a busy office. I know that's not really your fault, but I'm sure there are lots of others like that.

Giving the size in millimeters doesn't help us as we work in pixels

Hop on to http://www.boards.ie/diagnostics in a window that is the normal size of the one you use in work and scroll down to the Screen Resolution section. Copy the stats from there into a post here
