Question Forum too wide in IE8

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:
