Topic: 2.0 RC2 image overlap problem

[catfished]

Version: 2.0.RC2
  When viewing large images in posts that are linked  from other sites using the

:

[img] tag, they overlap onto  the right column.
 
  This might be a Simple Portal 2.3.1 problem as  I'm using it for the right column but I thought I'd ask here first.  Thanks for any replies. See the screenshot below:

What are the big pics of fish, background or are you in some sort of gallery on that page.

Thanks for replying bigguy,

No they're just images posted in a regular thread with the

:

[img] tags using their own URLs such as Image Shack or Photo Bucket or my screenshots in the above post and in this one. In my case I'm using one of my own sites to link from. http://fishinghost.com/overlap.jpg

Here's a similar scenario using SMF 1.1.11 which uses side scroll instead of overlapping.

I have seen this before in SMF so I don't think it has to do with your portal at all. it could be a bug but not sure if there is a fix or not.

OK thanks bigguy,

I'm glad I haven't upgraded my two main forums to 2.0. RC2. The RC2 one in question is for a young fishing addict that I know who can live with the problem. He'll just have to tell his members to post smaller images or I guess there's a way to limit the size of posted images in the Admin CP, I'll take a look.

Edit: I took a look and changed the maximum width & height to 400 X 400 but it had no effect on the linked images. They're still much larger than that.

Maybe this mod would help:

Thanks bigguy but he can live with it for now. He's the one posting most of the large pics on it anyway so he can just resize them before he posts.

Actually, I did get a fix for it over on SMF.org:

: (change the overfow)

.post, .personalmessage
{
   overflow:   scroll;
   line-height: 1.4em;
   padding: 0.1em 0;
}


: (add   the overflow)

.inner
{
   padding: 1em 1em 0 0;
   margin: 0   1em 0 0;
   border-top: solid 1px #99a;
   overflow: scroll;
}

It was already showing a horizontal scroll bar in IE but not in Firefox. The screenshot I originally posted here was using FF. Now with the fix it shows the scroll bar in both browsers.

It's too bad there's no way to limit the size of linked images like from Photo Bucket and Image Shack. I know IPB has that feature. Oh well, maybe someday.
