Is it me or is the main banner oversized?
And did the theme change colour from blue to white?

Banner is not the good size at the moment, Coloursceme is still the same, And look at the bottom (of the messages, last message of the topic (page))
There is a footer added, Random pictures and ads.

Seems to be a problem with Chrome (and Safari,as they both use the same base)

I've just used the dev function in chrome, at the moment, the code for the banner is as followed:

Code: [Select]

<img src="/forum/header/rotator.php" width="100%" height="100%" alt="Argonath RPG Forums">
For some reason this makes most users using Safari and Chrome have an oversized banner, it does however show the correct size when the code is set out as followed:

<img src="/forum/header/rotator.php" width="100%" height="auto" alt="Argonath RPG Forums">

How to change it? Never mind, found it. Right click on the height="100%" and change it to auto.

Or just delete it.. but it's only a temporary thing for testing..

Not a Chrome issue, because I've been using it this entire time and it works fine. Gandalf is still trying to fix some bugs.

Regarding the header, do you see it normal or does it coever the screen like some people reported ?

And yes, that does seem to be a browser related issue. So do report it as a bug to the browser makers.

It's a CSS/PHP issue within the forum software. Something in the original design was forcing the banner's area to that size, and the CSS was merely telling the image to fill in that space 100%. I think that plant image that was showing up in the rotator was the one forcing the size. The reason for my belief behind this is that I have a custom header on one of my forums that has the same issue, and my fix was to have a transparent image in a certain place to keep the sizing correct.

Edit: And just as I say it, the big man fixes it! Way to go Gandy!

Indeed, it scales the image over the full width it got. So the bigger you make the browser, the bigger the image will be. In width aswell in height. With the resolution of 1920 x 1080 I got, it is quite a big (in height) header.

Which means that your browser did not handle the THML properly, as the height was seen as a global parameter instead of linked to the table in which the header is located.
Howver a fix for users of a useless browser applied.

Not necessarily. That would be the forum's template that would need to take the blame in this case, because it was not resizing based on the browser's size, but was instead displaying a static, overly large sized banner.

Forum template had no changes... And users with Firefox had no problems...

Gandalf made some template changes trying to clean up the ads, which resulted in the mod bugging the forum for a bit until he was able to fix it. I think in the process of that, something else got messed up as well. He told me in an attempt to fix it previously that he even copied over a fresh copy of the theme to combat the bug, so I'm thinking that the custom banner system was changed sometime after the theme was created, so the new changes weren't added when the theme was reinstalled.
