What should happen is that the paragraphs of text are normal width based on the window, and the wide illustrations grow horizontal scroll bars and (if javascript is enabled) a zoom button. I don't know what kind of configuration this IPBoard software does, but you might look into it, as well as check with the IPBoard authors for support.
There is a trivial change to the CSS that I think will be liked by many of the people here. Here is a user CSS file (applied using Stylish in Firefox):
CODE
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("www.fountainpennetwork.com") {
IMG[src='http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/style_images/1/newpost.gif'] {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
IMG {
max-width: 1200px; /* change to suit, or use 98% to always fit to window */
}
}
@-moz-document domain("www.fountainpennetwork.com") {
IMG[src='http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/style_images/1/newpost.gif'] {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
IMG {
max-width: 1200px; /* change to suit, or use 98% to always fit to window */
}
}
Basically, the max-width should be set to the widest you want the picture to be. If an image is wider, it will be resized to that automatically.
The first part is something else: the little orange specs that take you to the new posts on a thread are too small to click on, so I enlarged them 20 pixels square. This is another suggestion to the forum staff: make that spec the same size as the letter 'M' at the very least, not some microscopic spec (I think it is an 8-pixel GIF, which is about 1/16 inch on my laptop).
