Known Problem: 'Generation InVerse' forum style on user's profiles!

[Platinum Lucario]

Yes, alot of you would have already noticed how that the Generation InVerse forum style has been having the issue of the CSS coding template on user's profiles being totally messed up with no profile background or anything. I remember when it happened back in November when it first was made to the public. Ever since Generation InVerse has been made as the default forum style, it surely would make it hard for new users to see what is going on with their profiles, some might not know how to change the forum styles 'till the last minute, and they might not realize the problem 'till then. D:

So... what are we going to do about the forum styles, eh? I do reckon the creator of the Generation InVerse theme seriously would need to fix the CSS template on user's profiles, either that or the default forum style should be changed to Generation V instead. Prahaps the default forum style was changed to Generation InVerse by accident instead of using Generation V?

And as I said... many people have already experienced this problem. I can tell you how big my laptop screen size is. It's 1280x800 pixels in size. If the screen size is the case, then it will be needed to be made smaller, because I'm not gonna bother getting a computer with a larger screen, it should be the avarage size, a size in which most computers would support.

So... I wonder what's gonna happen next? :P

hmm I do not know what of you speak.. What css issues? Seems to work just fine for me and on other profiles..

do provide some details and maybe even a screenshot or two.

Alright, here's the screenshot of the forum style problem, which I do assume it might be a CSS problem or something else. You'll see what I mean in this screenshot:

And that is quite a big issue, I'm not sure what is causing it or why it's affecting the Generation InVerse forum style. Generation V works fine, it's only Generation InVerse that has this problem. And it's only affecting the user profiles, everything else is fine.

that looks a LOT more like an IE render issue then anything else.. It seems to display fine in Firefox and others, just not IE.

We'll see what the theme designer can do about it.
In the meantime, I suggest you not use IE as your default browser

You have Chrome. Why not use it ._.

Hm... I see, so it seems there are CSS codings in which IE cannot seem to support. However many new users might only know about IE, and what would be best... is to use a default theme in which is IE friendly, like Generation V.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know, least I know what the problem is. But at least IE does come in handy for checking forum style bugs and glitches. ;D

You have Chrome. Why not use it ._.

Well, I just haven't tried Generation InVerse on Google Chrome yet. ^^'

But yeah, I also have Firefox, but I've got sooo many tabs saved (mainly ones of xat). I tend to go more with both Google Chrome and IE.

IE doesn't use today's web standards to begin with.

Especially with CSS elements, since most standard elements in CSS that works with browsers that actually keep up with the web standards can handle don't need their own code. IE needs extra coding, extra stylesheets, hacks, workarounds, etc. in order to function the way other browsers are easy to render. I suppose, yes, it is a problem with the style since it isn't made to work with IE (which is hard to do when the developer of the style uses a Mac, which doesn't have IE), but the root problem is with IE. Not the style. For not conforming to web standards today.

"However many new users might only know about IE" -- lolwtfrutalkingabout? Can you suddenly see user agents or something? I'm looking at them and I see Firefox a hell of a lot more than IE. Just because you use IE doesn't mean "many new users" do. :|

Hm I don't mean to meander the topic, but I have encountered a similar problem with Gen Inverse. Just want to make it known.

When I made this account, the "click here to agree to terms/rules" and "type your username" were awkwardly stretched or misplaced to the right. I am using Firefox.

Samesies. It happened when I was using Google Chrome as well; maybe it's not browser-specific? I do like the theme though. It's very nice. :]

@ Nick: What you're citing only applies to PC itself. Last I had checked, Internet Explorer had between 50 and 67% of the browser market share still. There's still that chance of a sudden influx of IE users, though IE users tend to be older than the typical PC user.

IE has 2 uses: 1) to test design/web layouts. 2) to visit M$ Update site.

Well, that's all it should be used for.

Even Windows Update is at the start menu now so you don't need to use IE for that :)
