I like the new look smile

phpBB has improved quite a bit in recent versions hasn't it?

Yeah, it has come on. I was going to use it on a new site that I'm setting up, but had problems with some of the configuration options.

I switched over to XForums, and got everything running exactly how I wanted in a few mins.

Still, phpBB is a decent system, and hopefully it will continue to get better.

Phlipp - PLEASE don't use fixed sized fonts on the forum, as this stops IE's View -> Text Size setting from having any effect on it.

That is because of the XHTML templates. I possibly add more styles/template sets in a few days.

Ok, cool, cheers.

Another thing, don't know if it's possible or not, but what about some sort of thing to automatically resize images that are bigger than A x B pixels, to fit A x B? & something to force word-wrap on things like long paths or URLs. Just a couple of ideas, I know you're probably rushing round like a blue-arsed fly @ the mo, but I thought that as you're in the process of setting it all up now would be the right time to mention them.

Something like this would have to be client side, as posted images are not hosted on the NTC server. So the server never sees the file, and has no idea if it's too big to fit on your screen. But, I believe if you turn on the "Enable Automatic Image Resizing" option in IE6, it will take care of this for you.

No, it is enabled & it doesn't work like that. it only works when an image is addressed directly, rather than just put in a page, eg http://www.whatever.com/images/pic.jpg

There should actually be a way [for the images, I don't know about the word-wrap thing].

It should be possible to read the dimensions of the image with some sort of script, yes? So you could perhaps do something a bit like what I've put below, sorry I don't know PHP or whatever the forum uses, but I think you'll see what I'm getting @.

set maximum acceptable image size to A x B
read image dimensions into X & Y
Z=X/Y
If X>A make X=A
make Y=X/Z
If Y>B make Y=B AND make X=Y*Z

then make the script change the image tags so that it would read something like:
<img SRC="pic.jpg" height=X Width=Y>

[I apologise for any errors in my logic, it's been a long time since i did any coding]

& if you really wanna impress ppl, you might even make the width component of the maximum acceptable image size a percentage of the window width, thereby taking into account ppl using different screen resolutions.

The image functions in PHP can only determine the size of an image stored on the same server. Realistically there is no way to do it other than using javascript since it is the client that loads the image, not the NTC web server.

Something like:

Code:
/* Get current image dimensions */
picWidth = document.getElementById&#40;"image1"&#41;.width
picHeight = document.getElementById&#40;"image1"&#41;.height
/* Do clever size manipulation calculations here */
......
......
/* Resize the image to new dimensions */
document.getElementById&#40;"image1"&#41;.width = picWidth
document.getElementById&#40;"image1"&#41;.height = picHeight


all in client-side javascript. It might work (not 100% sure on the DOM stuff there and it certainly wouldn't work in Opera), but to be honest it's far more hassle than it's worth, especially when it involves modifying someone else's forum code.

Umm...Philipp...???? I know you're a very busy chap, but any chance of this happening any time soon? If you don't have the time to do it yourself, could you delegate it to someone who does, please? I'd offer to do it myself, except I don't know anything about making Custom Style Sheets.
