This present SMF theme here at Joomla.org is buggy

[Imago]

Not a single post our of my limited number of posts has been published without missing words or even word combinations. I have no idea what is the reason for this verbal cannibalism, but one of my suggestions is the extruding right part of the boards which conceals some elements of the technical links, say the link of the logged IP.

Tried to frame the text of the message in quotes or code, but the same effect seems to be in action, persisting as it is.

Now, the word "idea" is not in my vision field (IE, 1024x768.

Please have a look at your css.

I'll avoid the usual comments about IE.

I just fired up my IE and I'm in the same resolution as you and I see everything fine - including the word "idea".
IE6, WinXP SP2

In a wired world without walls and fences, there is no need of windows and gates. Therefore, I will also omit my comments on the ability of FF to represent Devanagari characters.

Thanks for the test. I am now sIEing the same page from another CP with lower resolution, and everything is OK.

Phew, that would have been hard for me to troubleshoot

Glad all is ok now.

Hi, guys!

I have just noticed something very strange.

As already said, here I see only the first three groups of my IP - xx.xxx.xx
the rest is not seen.

However, browsing another site using the same forum template, I see my IP in its entirety - xx.xxx.xx.xxx

Another difference is that here the emoticons are twisted to the left, overriding the text before them, while on the Russian site, they are properly displayed.

Basing on this, a conclusion could be reached that the Russians have addressed the above issue and somehow managed to solve it.

Please, note that in both sites, I am using the Russian language pack (which BTW has to be tweaked here because of the wrong Month display - now it shows something like ¸îÝï which, of course, means nothing in Russian). Selecting the English pack does not changing anything.

FYI We are not affiliated with the russian site you linked to above. Our russian section is here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,26.0.html
Perhaps you might like to check with some users there if they see the same issues.

Please can you also adjust your signature in accord with the rules to include only 2 clickable links. Thanks.

Thank you for the public reminder to read the rules of the forum. Changed my signature yesterday to include the allowed number of clickable links. I hope you will fix the setlocale bug in your Russian language version with the same expedience.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. For those who are using multiple languages on their sites, please open your language.php and add your particular locale. For my Bulgarian UTF-8 based site I have added

Code: Select all

setlocale( LC_TIME, bg_BG.utf8);

while the configuration.php reads

Code: Select all

$mosConfig_locale = 'us_US';

though it can be commented as well
