View Full Version : Category that houses reviews doesn't scale (width) like the rest of the site?

Hi,

Take a look at this forum: http://pcshoptalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=27 and scroll down a bit.

It's a category that contains a subcategory (Reviews) which houses GARS-forums.

It also contains 2 other subcategories (News and Press Releases). For some reason this page (the Reviews section in particular) isn't scaling to the full width of the rest of the forums. Is this related to GARS or is it something in VB that I need to fix? Any ideas?

TIA

That looks like it might be a problem with the skin. Go to http://validator.w3.org/ and enter http://pcshoptalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=27 for the address, and have it check the XHTML for errors. At a minimum, the ones you should fix are as follows:

Line 644, Column 6: end tag for "div" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.
Line 1076, Column 7: end tag for element "tbody" which is not open.

Are you sure it's directly related to the skin? It's only an issue when GARS sub-forums are displayed. Could it be code in GARS that's conflicting? I can't seem to find the specific issue.

I guess I'm asking if you know of any particular GARS templates that regulate page width that I could possibly modify to remedy this problem.


Thanks!

The following width options are available under the ACP -> GARS -> Types -> click a type link, though what you might try is to temporarily disable all add-ons except for GARS and view the page with the default vB skin and see if the misalignment is still present:

Width for module container on forumdisplay pages
Block Width

Thanks for the feedback. Turns out it is something with the skin and unrelated to GARS :)
