Well I've been venturing into making layouts with CS5, and so far so good on that end of things. However the problem I'm having is with the CSS. The site is rendered as I wanted it to exactly in FireFox, IE breaks a bunch of stuff, and a couple barely noticeable ones in Safari and Chrome. However the w3 validater is telling me it's fine code wise, and I've tried for awhile to get it to work out with no luck. I'm stumped, I've not got this far into it before, so I need some help.

Any help or links on information on getting it to look the same through all browsers would be awesome. Thanks :)

EDIT: It appears to have something to do with the links, as if you hover over one of the links in the News box, the whole layout shifts to normal. The hell... :|

Just tested the site in Chrome, Firefox, IE9 and IE6 and I didn't notice too much difference o_O

For the problem with the text in the news box, it looks as if you are increasing the font-size using :hover. However, I am not 100% sure why this would adjust the content position for the other content area.

What other problems have you found, which I haven't been able to find? :p

Well I took out the hover code, and thats when I realized...
It seems the problem(s) I'm getting were from my resolution on my computer. I ctrl+scroll wheel'ed in IE and it looks normal when set to the correct size. It only really happens in IE, but none the less, it seems to be a resolution problem with IE. Some zoom levels it works, some it tweaks it bad...

Is this normal or is there something I'm doing wrong? :(

Hm... It's weird, but I'm still not getting any problems with any of my browsers (IE6, IE9, Chrome and Firefox), even when zooming in etc.

One thing that may make Internet Explorer behave unusually is that you use tables for everything. It is highly recommended to not use tables anymore, just because of inconsistencies between browsers (and Internet Explorer is a big offender).

It's a pain to try and debug something that doesn't happen for me :p

EDIT: Just tried again and got a few layout problems (few pixels out) and to me it definitely looks like a table problem.

Yeeee, well I'm going to mess around with Adobe Fireworks rather than Photoshop, I'm reading that it has a lot better web-capabilities than photoshop does. Thats how PS exports the whole thing, and you have to export it after each edit, so it's a pain to make changes to.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
