Re: FORUM WIDTH ADJUSTMENT - Too much grass showing? READ THIS!

[hognc2010]

I made the change closed and came back
What I noticed is the width on the home page is not the same as the forum. More grass on the home page
I haven't checked the other sports,for the fans etc...

Did you miss this part of my post?

You can now control the width of the forums themselves

[DeltaBoy]

Thanks Douglas!

[Mo_Better_Hogs]

Thanks. I killed the grass altogether! Take THAT Weed 'n Feed!

[DukeOfPork]

Thanks, Douglas....much better!

[HROHog]

Works great, thanks.

[Doug]

I had to do some fine tuning on this functionality (the error log files were getting jacked up again). I am now confident in saying that this works PERFECTLY!

[porkchopsdontfloat]

Perfect!

[GuvHog]

Ditto! Now if someone could add a Site size adjustment feature to Fearless Friday, I'd be all set to go.

I've got a forum upgrade to do over there, so when I do that one, I'll implement this functionality over there.

[Danny J]

Grass gone....thanks.

[Razorback Ranger]

Perfect

Excellent job, Douglas. Great look to it. Thanks for all the hard work.

Thank you Douglass. I didn't mean to sound like a smart-aleck. Hope I didn't offend you.

It's too busy.  I don't like it at all.  The old style was mean and clean.  I'll just have to long for the old days.  But I hate the new layout.

[Doug]

The old style was also stuck in the 1990's and was not conducive to future growth/expansion plans, plus way too hard to maintain from an administration standpint.  Not to mention, it was DOG slow and archaic.

Even you have to admit that Hogville loads MUCH faster now. Well, the design has a bit to do with that, as does the forum upgrade.  A LOT of coding was optimized, everywhere.

The old design just was not worth it to try to salvage.

In order for Hogville to move to the forefront of all fan sites, a change was needed.

[BA Hogwild]

Nice work Douglas

[FarmingtonFan]

Thanks for the help

[hawgsmellgud]

perfect

[oldbear]

Thanks Douglas. I love the changes. I really believe that those that have issues with the style will soon get used to it and forget the old one. You are right about the speed and that alone makes it worth it.

[longtimeHogfan]

Worked for me....like the new format.

[John (mrchambo) Chamberlain]

Thank you, Douglas!

1500 works great for me on both my home and work laptop...

WPS!

[PigPusher]

I am logged in. When I click on the profile it showns me the settings but there is no headings for modifying these settings. That is, there is no "Look & Layout" shown on my profile screen. What gives do I have my other settings messed up?

[The Hawg Marshal]

Fixed my problem. Thank you kind sir. +1

[A Hogwork Orange]

Worked perfect, using the 1500 option. Gotta say didnt like the change at first, now im starting to love it.

[HoginClinton]

You can also hold the ctrl key and scroll with your mouse to adjust the width.

[PorcineSublime]

Thanks bro. The new upgrade is awesome.

[JFHWGBKRIII]

Outstanding!!   This is why this is the best board on the net.  Keep up the great work!! :razorback:

[Doug]

You can also hold the ctrl key and scroll with your mouse to adjust the width.

That affects all sites, though, whereas my coded fix is specific to Hogville.

[redeye]

That's much better. Thank you!

[Hog on the Hill]

You can also hold the ctrl key and scroll with your mouse to adjust the width.

That doesn't adjust the width, it zooms in/out. 

[HoginClinton]

That doesn't adjust the width, it zooms in/out.

But it does fix the problem.

[Doug]

But it does fix the problem.

It's a band aid solution to something that needed stitches.  The change that I did (in the original post) is the correct solution to use.

[nughaud]

The green grass still shows up at the bottom of the site, which for some reason slows down my browsing when it's on the screen. The same goes for the top of the screen. When I'm in the middle of the page, it's fine.  For whatever reason, the multiple layers due to the new layout have slowed down, at least on my end my scrolling when reading the site. Before I selected "large" to expand, the site was crawling when I was scrolling. It's faster now, but not as fast as previous.

As far as the new site goes, I like it, but am not sure if the speed issue with scrolling is on my end or on the server side.

Thanks

[Doug]

Not experiencing any speed issues.  The header portion of the site should be porportionate with the forums.  If you're talking about the main site, in terms of width, the fix above only addresses forum width.

You're the first person to complain about speed issues in a while.  I would suggest that you provide me results of a traceroute to Hogville, or to use WinMTR (google both, please).

I'll do a purge on the error log to see if that helps out a bit.

[LZH]

Douglas....you're my huckleberry!!!  Excellent work buddy, and that goes for all of ya.
