FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

The news view is having some layout issues on Safari for iOS:

Interesting. I'm not even sure what the News View shows. Do you use it regularly? What does it show? The most recent posts?

I use it all the time, but not from my phone very often. It seems to show the most recent active threads on the "board" (not sure if that's the right term) as well as the last 10 active topics in the whole forum. What's nice about the former is it shows a preview of the post. Looks like it's not specific to iOS Safari. It looks the same if I shrink down Chrome on my PC. I'm not 100% sure, but I thought it used to stack the "News of venus flytraps" and "Last 10 active topics" sections like it does now, but use the full page width for each. Right now it has inline styles setting their widths as a percentage of the full width regardless of their orientation with one another.

What do you use to keep up w/ postings? I've always been unsure how "New Posts", "Unread Posts", and "Active Topics", under Forum Links, are defined.

Interesting. I will try to find some time to look into it and see if I can fix the formatting issue. These sorts of HTML/CSS issues are not my forte. I'm more of a programmer, not a designer

I just use the "View Unread Posts" link. That way I am sure to read every post:
http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/searc ... nreadposts

It's linked at the top under the "Forum Links" menu.

Same here. I've been forced to learn a lot more CSS than I ever wanted to. Luckily browsers (ahem..ie) are finally getting much closer to respecting the standards. There's probably a more elegant solution, but it seems like setting a min-width on the "column" divs that currently have the % widths might work. No rush to fix it for my sake. Like I said, I don't use it on my phone very often. It's way too annoying to try to type posts on an iPhone.

Are they unread by me or unread by anyone?

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that when I get the motivation and time to look at it

Just the posts you've not read.
