Forum Theme Layout Bugs/Issues

Correct the min width set on form elements is 640px anything below that will be wonky..

I am also confused with what you mean. Also, quote blocks behave correctly.

Pretty much when you compact the forum page to the width you guys are it will start to behave very bad.

If 640px is the limit, I guess that's fine. But why does the quote block correctly shrink below 640px and not the code block?

Edit: I suppose what I'm asking is why doesn't the code block shrink and a scroll bar appear if needed?

are anyone else's font sizes smaller than normal? i've been messing with fonts, but all the other sites i've tried were fine...

I don't see list of people viewing threads...

I don't see the "Who's also browsing this thread" anymore. I always liked seeing who is "lurking around..."

The icon for Kubuntu 5.10 on the first page if that of ubuntu... I think it will be nice to change it to the blue one like the one just below it....!!!

Looks like a FF issue.

A bug I have been noticing ever more is the one relating to the CODE and the INDENT tags: they seems to disrupt the message layout everytime! (I'm on FF 1.5 here)

Example, check this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=142481 (yes, it's one of mine )

You can notice that, on every post that the CODE/INDENT tags were used, the message got it's layout distorted in some way.

On the first post, you can see the message is larger than the forum borders (INDENT cause). Not only that, but the column that shows the user info is compressed, compared to the default (CODE+INDENT). The CODE tag used by itself displaces the left column by just a few pixels (compared to posts that didn't use it).
I believe this is buggy behaviour and should be avoided, as it disrupts overall forum layout and decreases readability.

On the flipside, the QUOTE tag works very well and doesn't disrupt the layout at all, even for long texts. (unless there is a CODE or INDENT tag inside the quoted message...)

Based on this buggy layout behaviours, I believe the CODE and INDENT tags should be revised.

Proof of concept:

Indented code:
