Posted November 13, 200618 yr If i go to http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...40799&st=80 I see the quoted text tabbed to the right with about 300px... All pages with quotes have this problem, is this just me? (firefox 2)
November 13, 200618 yr ohhh i see now. I use firefox 2 and it screws up the layout too lol.For some reason i thought it was a screenshot within the post. Sorry, yeah its messed up.
November 13, 200618 yr Wow, that is seriously messed up. :mellow: I see it too on Firefox 2.IPS staff? lol
November 13, 200618 yr Yeah, I'm getting major messed-up layouts there. It doesn't seem to be bumped right 300px, it's more like the entire page is corrupted. I'll try and get some screenies...I have tested this on my Mac, using Firefox 3.0 nightly, Camino 1.0.3, and Safari. I get problems on the Gecko ones, but oddly enough, not Safari. I'll try testing on my PC when I get the chance.It might have something to do with that topic being absolutely ancient, and a couple of the posters no longer existing. In fact, it seems to have something to do with everything nesting under "guest" posts that contain a quote. And as I said, Safari seems to render everything fine.These images were taken on Camino, but Firefox looks exactly the same.A nested post type thing, not caused by a guest poster. Doesn't seem to affect the rest of the topic.The first guest post with a quote, all posts afterwards are inside this oneA second guest quote, now all posts are double-nestedThe bottom of the page, all the board footer and stuff seems to be inside the post area.
November 13, 200618 yr It's because that post was made in 2003, before the newer quote/code style, and the post simply hasn't been rebuilt (and likely won't - we have too many posts to bother).

November 13, 200618 yr Yes, it should. It's using the old CSS styles for those old quotes...I don't think the rebuild posts was every run, or at least it didn't finish that topic.
November 13, 200618 yr Ah. yes, I guess that makes sense.Still, it may be a good idea to run a rebuild. Then you can tell us how well rebuilding over a million posts goes anyway.
November 13, 200618 yr Yes, it should. It's using the old CSS styles for those old quotes...I don't think the rebuild posts was every run, or at least it didn't finish that topic.Doesn't this in the default CSS control the old styles though?* ======================================== * old school quote and code styles - backwards compatibility * ======================================== */ #QUOTE, #CODE{ background: #8598D6; border: 1px solid #000; color: #465584; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px; padding: 2px; white-space: normal; } #CODE{ font-family: Courier, "Courier New", Verdana, Arial; }
November 13, 200618 yr It's something to do with html comments, the old quotes system used to put something like <!--poster name -> (the html comment wasn't properly closed) when quoting someone. it didn't effect IE from what i remember only standard compliment browsers. nothing to do with CSS. :blink:

November 14, 200618 yr Pff, I thought it was just me. Good thing I'm not the only one :)How long would a rebuild take for IPS?
November 14, 200618 yr The number of database entries doesn't matter, it just increases the time needed to process the query(s). There isn't a magical number that once you pass it, maintenance queries stop working. All that is needed to rebuild the posts is processing power and time.
