How to view phpBB forums without a horizontal scroll-bar

#1 Post by Semme »

Run Firefox, PaleMoon or Seamonkey? Then this is for YOU!

Simply install the Greasemonkey extension (Scriptish on Seamonkey) and the phpBB Image Resizer script.

Open Prefs >> User Settings >> clk "Add" and paste "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/*"

You're set!

No more annoying, over-sized images to contend with. Here's a sample page..

Does it stop if some jerk puts in a load of file comment text though? Perhaps it may, perhaps it might not. Interesting idea though. Thanks Semme (its been quite a while since I messed around with Stylish and Greasemonkey). Testing la-de-dah de-la-de-dah

Can the admin panel in phpBB address this kind of nonsense? I am sooooo schure...

Not so sure http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/ ... t-settings Image size can be limited before being transposed to just a link, but attachment description doesn't seem to have a limit option, and instead seems to just be set to 255 max chars - a limit presumably hard coded in code.

Should I edit my previous post to reduce the length of the image description? Or leave it for effect/highlight?

This one's easy...

Could John "Sh!tcan" [url=http://www.180162-wsf_third-party-hosted-image-linking-disabled_figure-it-out-folks]outside image linking[/url] altogether if he chose to do so? Sure.

Would this alone eliminate the problem?.. Most certainly.

Should you leave your post to show that loopholes currently exist? Absolutely!

Do I know enough about phpBB software to address these issues?

Nope.. Not yet.

Have I been a part of a forum where a competent administrator serves?

You better believe it!

For my reference:

Code: Select all

From what I can see of it, the overall width of any Forum page seems to be dictated by whoever happened to post with the largest resolution screen.....

I could, of course, be wrong.


Mike. :wink:

From what I can tell, this "kind of" works in Firefox 28 with Scriptish on my 1024x768 screen.

On this thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=101174&start=300

The offending image by starhawk is resized, but the one in quotes by bark_bark_bark is not, so the horizontal line still exists.

That's because it's in a quote "cell" on a non-standard phpBB board.

In fact, much like Rufwoof's attachment cell above.. Like our crappy "code" cells.. Same garbage.

I've been told this forum doesn't use CSS files, that any CSS code is in the header itself.

Bad idea? That's been suggested.

Is this board nothing more than a series of non-standard hacks?

This has been suggested as well.
