P.s. you guys do a great job on Kunena but if you look at your own forum with compatibility view switched on....how do you find errors in the layout? Our guests sure cant find Compatibility view, or know this will solve the problem, they will just leave a website.



To remove ambiguity: Nobody of the Kunena Team has told, that he looks at Kunena Forum only with compatibility switched on and the Kunena Team did not recommend to switch to compatibility view. Why do you think so, because Sozzled told this? He is a user like you.

The compatibility view switches Internet Explorer 8 to IE 7 and this is no progress but regression.

I will talk with Matias, why the hack was not integrated, perhaps because this hack is not the best solution, I don't know why. It is (imho sure) the IE expanding box problem.

But like 810 wrote, you are using a special version and the designers of it are working on a solution ;)

However, we (Kunena Team) will think about this bug and the possibility to fix it. Thanks for reporting!

By no means I intended to offend either of you! Just lets call it a small misunderstanding in language on my side.

I do think Kunena is great! But IE8 isn't perfect. We can ignore the flaws in IE8 or work around them. I'm a complete noob in programming so I rely on volunteers like yourself.

For myself, I just want to show a good looking website to the majority of my guests. 76% of my guests use IE, I don't want to bother them with advise on wich browser to use, but thats just me.

I did not understand it so, don't worry ;). I only wanted to point, that Kunena Team does not recommend to switch to IE7 (compatibility view), when using Kunena.

English is not my native language, so we both seem to have some complicated understandings :laugh:


One goal of Kunena is the compatibility in most of browsers and we are thankful, when Kunena users are reporting bugs to us. So the goal is also, that it will look good in Internet Explorer 8 ;)

Yeah? I never read that anywhere.

Anyway, I enjoyed having a good rant. Doesn't matter to me, anyway, because I use Firefox these days. All good! :woohoo:

As previously stated, switching to compatibility mode is a workaround, not a solution for the bug you're referring to. A solution to this and many other issues will eventually come. Want to speed up that process? Well, you can track down the bug yourself and post a solution here. That makes it much easier for our team to test your solution and add it to the next version. Kunena, like Joomla, is a community-driven project. Want Kunena to be better? Help us make it better. :)

Please keep in mind that not all of us are native in English. Some words commonly used in small talk and slangs may have very different meanings if you have to look them from a dictionary.

This is what my dictionary tells me:

rant

Runt Runt, n. [Written also rant.] [Scot. runt an old cow,
an old, withered woman, a hardened stem or stalk, the trunk
of a tree; cf. D. rund a bullock, an ox or cow, G. rind. Cf.
Rother, a.]

[...]

3. A dwarf; also, a mean, despicable, boorish person; -- used
opprobriously.
[1913 Webster]


I felt that I was missing something, so I went and asked severdia what rant means:

It's not an insult.... The modern usage of rant is very far away from historical usages...

"runt" would be used to describe a small person or animal... Like when a dog gives birth to puppies, there might be one that's smaller and weaker than the others.. that's the runt

sozzled's rant (long complaining) on the previous page of that thread is what he was talking about:
"I'm glad I was able to complain or yell about something and I feel better now that it's out of my head..."

Yes.. just a classic example of how we need to all be careful and respectful of varying levels of English and cultural differences.

No need to make a mountain out of a molehill though, so let's just all keep that in mind. :)

Wow! :blush: I wish I'd never written my "opinion piece"! Thank you, Matias, for your understanding.

Yes, to rant (a verb) - in common English, simply means to make long, meandering speech (usually complaining about something). People who rant are usually ignored. Sorry, I'll go back to sleep now! :side:

Another saying I didn't know...making a mountain out of a molehill....we make elefants out of a fly :cheer:

I'm sorry I cant help with the coding, I don't know anything about CSS. Don't even understand why the piece of code written by Lintzy is not working on the new Kunena version. This code was targeted at IE8 not at Kunena, right??? :blush:

I do try to find some time to promote Kunena now and then on Joomla.org or Dutchjoomla.org just to support this great component.

Hi John,

I had now the time to examine this issue (download of this wide page here and test it with IE8 and so on)

It was a really simple error. Your template (and this template here too) have overwritten the stylesheet instruction.

The code should work now (play with the 700px to fit it into your template)
Code:
/* Fix for Internet Explorer 6*/ #Kunena *html div.msgtext { width:700px; overflow:hidden!important; word-wrap: break-word; } /*Fix for Internet Explorer 8*/ #Kunena div.msgtext { width:/*\**/700px\9; overflow:/*\**/hidden!important\9; word-wrap:/*\**/break-word\9; }
