Title: Horizontal Scroll Bar
Heatherbee - February 24, 2008 05:14 PM (GMT)
Is there anyway someone could work the CSS so that a horizontal scroll bar appears?
I only have a 12" monitor, and when someone puts a wide graphic in a thread, it stretches the page wider than my monitor can handle. Basically, I have to give up reading that entire thread because it's cut off.

May I ask if you're using Firefox and what's your screen resolution?
Because I actually had the same problem in my old computer and it wasn't a issue of the forum skin/CSS, it seems a compatibility problem between IF and Firefox, people in the IF support board said me to use IE or get some Firefox add-on (like IE Tab) and change the visualization to IE mode when the issue appeared.
Though, Now that I have a larger monitor the issue disappeared...

I had that problem too, until I realized that I could use the scrolly-thinger on my mouse (the wheel). Pushing down on it allows you to go side to side, as well as up and down.

If it doesn't scroll horizontally it's because IE has a bug in it, but it can be fixed by changing your CSS. Go edit your CSS, and change the "html" attribute (which is usually the first line) to:
| CODE |
| html { overflow-x: auto } |

Haha! We are talking about RPG-D. I totally thought this was in the support section. XD [/delayed realization] I shall talk to ShinLi about it.

I do use Firefox, though sometimes Opera and Safari as well. My resolution is 1024x768.
Thanks for the tip, Clipsed. It does work! I'll remember that from now on when I find sites that don't have the horizontal scroll bar.
For those of us who didn't know about the ability to scroll sideways without the scroll bar, it might be a good idea to have the bar appear. Otherwise, we give up and go somewhere else.
Yeah, Loth, we're still on the RPG-D topic :p The scroll bar is hidden here. It's in the first line of the CSS. It clearly says
| QUOTE |
html { overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto; align: center; }
|
I was wondering if someone wanted to set that overflow-x to auto for accessibility purposes. And thank you. :)

I changed it to auto. Hopefully it shows up now. But just so you know, even if you don't have the mouse scroller, using the arrow keys works for scrolling when there isn't a bar =]

I've learned a lot in this thread! Thank you :)
