Well, it seems you can also remove line 42:
width : 850px;
from the file:
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/
and then everything is consistent.
There is also the line:
min-width: 750px;
in the file:
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/sites/all/themes/newsflash/style.css?W
but that doesn’t make that much harm (well, it may start to make problems once the 850px requirement is lifted).
Well, I’d like to return to the “width” problem …
It happens to me that I see just the “left part” of pictures on the screen …
A new case of this problem is here: [url]Ranged fit give poor results
I don’t know how it looks like on your screens, but on mine, the pictures are “cut” and there’s no way to see them whole (the most right part of the picture, that I am able to see on my screen at all, is attached below).
I plan to install this mod:
phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/r … 3b4bdb833e
which should correctly handle image resizing for these large files. Would that help you?
Cheers, Fons.
Am I the only one who has this problem?
If yes, maybe I should change some settings in my Firefox?
I have no practice with “ReIMG” so I can’t tell in advance if it helps or not, sorry.
From my point of view, the best solution would be removing any “hardcoded” widths.
Hi Pepe,
have a look at the page with the big pictures. You should like what you see (at least I like it).
Cheers, Fons.
It mostly works. 
There are possibly two problems.
- I’m not sure if this new feature should automatically work for all old posts - if yes, then it doesn’t work for the picture in this post (I still cannot see the right part of this picture and there’s no embedded “+” button to “zoom in” at all): [url]TH2 Drawn with "colz" option - colors and range
- looking at the “original problem case”, I can see the whole picture now. If I click the embedded “+” button, I get a “zoomed in” version (which is also fine). That new picture contains again two buttons (top-left): “-” for “zoom out” and “+” for “real dimensions” - but that next “full zoom” / “real dimensions” button works badly.
I have just realized that the problem 2 depends on the actual size of Firefox’es window - when I resize the window, the “full zoom” picture’s size “jumps” - sometimes it takes the majority of the available window and sometimes it’s very flat (even flatter than what you see in the picture above), but it always takes the full available width of the Firefox’es window.
It should work for old posts but it is not enabled for image attachments (and would not work retroactively anyway) which is the first image in your example. I could enable it for future image attachments.
Cheers, Fons.
Could you, please, add “.ps”, “.eps” and “.tex” (and maybe also “.js”) as valid extensions of attachments.
ok, done.
Cheers, Fons.
Sorry, I forgot about the “.dat” extension (already a couple of people were renaming “.dat” into “.C” in order to attach them).
also done 
Cheers, Fons.
It seems to me that the server gives time in “UTC + 1 hour [ DST ]”. Could someone, please, switch the “DST” off (seems one needs to do this “manually”). (Note: I’m talking about time that’s seen by guests here, not about registered users’ settings, which everyone needs to change “manually”, as well.)
Also, maybe you could allow “.csv” extensions for attachments.
Ok done.
Cheers, Fons.
Great, thanks.
I can see that the vast majority of people (me including) read RootTalk forums as guests.
The problem is that, in this case, the “new/unread forums/topics” are not marked in another colour -> links to these forums/topics do not become red (and there are no “View new/unread posts”, “Mark forums/topics read” and similar links, of course).
Maybe there’s an appropriate administration option which can be switched on?
There exists the “Delete all board cookies” link down there (working even for a “guest” user), so the phpBB system probably keeps track of the “last visit” in a cookie (even for a “guest” user), and so it should be possible to utilize it (maybe one just needs to “enable” it somewhere).
I’ve seen systems on which it was working this way for guests (though I cannot guarantee that they were also phpBB based, and not MyBB, for example).
I’ve just found … a bug fix note …
What’s new in phpBB 3.0.8:
November 22nd, 2010
(…)
Bug:
(…)
[PHPBB3-9840] - Display view unread posts link for guests
(…)
Well, it seems to me that you do not really think that improving the life of “guest users” is worth the effort …
So, during the last several days I collected some typical “WHO IS ONLINE” numbers (just one per day): [quote]In total there are 23 users online :: 3 registered, 0 hidden and 20 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
(…)
Registered users: Exabot [Bot], Google [Bot], MSN [Bot][/quote] [quote]In total there are 24 users online :: 2 registered, 0 hidden and 22 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
(…)
Registered users: Bing [Bot], Google [Bot][/quote] [quote]In total there are 25 users online :: 1 registered, 0 hidden and 24 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
(…)
Registered users: Google [Bot][/quote] [quote]In total there are 21 users online :: 3 registered, 0 hidden and 18 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
(…)
Registered users: Bing [Bot], Google [Bot], Google Feedfetcher[/quote] Let me know if you need more statistics in order to become convinced. 
Ok, I found the option:
Enable topic marking for guests:
Stores read/unread status information for guests. If disabled, posts are always marked read for guests.
and did turn it on (was turned off).
Cheers, Fons.
Great, thanks.
New/unread posts are “red” now and I can see the “Mark forums read” link now.
That, in principle, solves the problem.
There are no “View unread posts” nor “View new posts” links, though. The picture present in the PHPBB3-9840 bug discussion seemed to suggest that at least the “View unread posts” link should appear (even for “guests”). Maybe it’s phpBB version specific.
I’d like to share my experience with the newly enabled feature … “topic marking for guests” (well, I’m usually reading ROOT forums as the “guest” user).
In general, all topics with “new” / “unread” posts are really marked “red” now, and so are the links to the relevant forums in the “Board index”.
As soon as I “view” such a topic, it becomes “black” (i.e. “old” / “read”).
However, it happens quite often that, even though there are no more “new” / “unread” topics / posts in a particular forum, the link to the forum in the “Board index” remains marked “red”.
I don’t know how to fix it, but I have found that there are two simple ways to overcome this problem:
- after I viewed all “recent” topics / posts in a particular forum, I click its “Mark topics read” link,
- after I viewed all “recent” topics / posts in all forums, I click the “Mark forums read” link.
In both cases, all relevant links to forums in the “Board index” become “black” again.
For the record … I am using an Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS / i686 / 32-bit machine and Firefox 16.0.2 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0).
Could you, please, add “.spkg” and “.bz2” as valid extensions of attachments (a “.spkg” is actually a “sage” package in “.tar.bz2” format). Thanks in advance.
ok, done.
