Title: Recent Posts page [mystery SOLVED sortof]
Post by: StillTrying on January 01, 2017, 06:13:03 pm
I'm somehow missing the "Replies/Views" column off  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php)
It wasn't like that last year/yesterday.

EDIT:
SORRY!
I mis-read the post.

It is NOT working for me, either!

Seems to be working just fine for me.

EDIT2:
Are you sure it ever did have the replies/views ?
I don't think it did (but I could easily be mistaken).

I thinking it may have been an issue with column spacing only. Looks normal to me again. No replies/views column, but I think MK14 is correct that it was never there :-//

"it was never there"
I think you're right, but whatever it was is the "Topics:" column has now gone back to using 2 or 3 lines as needed. Perhaps someone was using nbsp in their Subject ...or something.

I think that's right. The wonky format seems to coincide with a post in the Metrology section, "Teardown:Julie_Reasearch_La ..." -  it's a long title without any spaces.

Yep that looks like it, underlines instead of spaces, causing all of the Topics: to spread out.

I noticed the issue late yesterday afternoon when I switched to viewing the forum on a TV which at the time was a concern as I had only just updated the firmware, I then went back onto the computer and it is hardly noticeable but on other devices it looks horrible with the text in the columns now centered whereas before I think they were left justified and possibly word wrapped, the other columns are definitely larger than they were previously and cannot be viewed without panning on the TV , a snapshot I took at the time below.

II posted about another issue mid December. I included some screen grabs.
But ...you solved that one.

It's back.  :scared:
Again the format of all columns have changed, the reason:

Two or so hours ago I viewed the forum from a TV and the fault appeared to be rectified but now it's back again coinciding with a post in the metrology section referred to previously, the under scores seem to disable the word wrapping feature causing columns to be ridiculously wide.

Tolerance is probably a virtue.   ::)
