I decided to give Firefox a try. These forums look nice, there's just this very little thing with the member info, how easy would it be to fix it?

(The status and member number use a bit large font.)

Looks like it's using a different font all together.

It's the same font, just larger. Tried adjusting a zoom or text size option? Not everything else is larger, right?

It's just one of those things that I've forgotten about since switching from IE to opera (although it looks the same in IE, some other things don't).

If you have a mouse wheel, hold control and spin it foreward to shrink the text on firefox

Yeah but it's not all the text, only the member info, so that doesn't work.

I noticed that when i switched from IE to Firefox.
I just forgot about the bug eventually and ignored it.

I have this same problem (with Firefox). I tried resizing the text but it only made everything else uber small. Must be some supportive bug with PHPBB.

I have the same problem but I was able to fix it by doing the following:

First download this extension: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/uriid

It allows you to change the css style of any site to your liking through the userContent.css file.

After you have installed the extension, if you have chromedit then open that up and add the following to your userContent.css file:

body#www-renforums-com td.row1 {
    font-size: 8pt !important
}
body#www-renforums-com td.row2 {
    font-size: 8pt !important
}


Please note that if your are using the http://www.renegadeforums.com url the above code will not work, simply use this version:

body#www-renegadeforums-com td.row1 {
    font-size: 8pt !important
}
body#www-renegadeforums-com td.row2 {
    font-size: 8pt !important
}


save, then restart firefox and after the page loads the extension will alter the css of the site fixing the font issue, at the moment I do not know what is causing the problem but I am looking into it.

If you don't have the chromedit extension I suggest you get it at: http://cdn.mozdev.org/chromedit/ and I suggest you move it to the top of the extension list as some other extensions tend to cause compatibility issues.

For those who don't want chromedit then do it the hard way and locate your userContent.css file by going to: C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\chrome\userContent.css and adding the above code, saving and then restarting firefox.

I had kind of an issue getting it to work. Firefox decided to do nothing when I clicked the link to install ChromEdit (yes, I did allow it). So I had to edit the file, which didn't exist, so I had to make it myself.

It works now, but when the page loads it shows the big font for about 5 seconds and then changes to the small font. Did I do anything wrong or is that normal?

Thats normal, I am not sure whether its something that the author thought best to do or that they are simply not able to change the css before the site fully loads, either way the split second where it shows the large font is normal.

I'd also like to mention that this extension can be used in other ways as well, any site that uses css can be edited by using the same userContent.css code, however css knowledge is recommended Razz but for those that do know css it can be a useful tool in customizing sites that you frequently visit.

As far as chromedit goes, did you get chromedit to work? If not instead of installing it directly try first downloading the xpi file and then opening the extension window and then dragging and dropping the xpi file into the extension window.

I would, but Firefox doesn't have a "Save Target As" feature.

Yes, it does. It's "Save Link As".

Yeah, that doesn't work, it saves the website instead of the actual file it's directed towards.

hmm well I didn't see any bugs about save link not working, so are you sure that your right clicking the link and selecting save link as and not right clicking the page and selecting save page as?

but as an alternative I have included a link to download it: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/download.php/http://downloads.mozdev.org/cdn/chromedit/chromedit.xpi

Question, when you drag images from the browser window to AIM in direct link, how come Firefox doesn't do anything when you do that but Internet Explorer does?

Maybe it's one of those "neat" things that tends to cause bugs or security issues, and they decided to not implement it. Maybe there's an extension which you can use.
