A fix for the broken page widths!
 

Hey guys,

I've been visiting this forum since I started researching Boxsters last year. I've been a proud 986 owner for a little while now and this forum has been very helpful, but it has a major bug: most pages of most big threads are rendered with an incorrect width. I'm sure you're all very familiar with this problem! It forces you to scroll left & right to read posts no matter what you do. I've been losing my ****ing mind over this garbage and I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering in silence, but being a web designer, I finally just took a few minutes to create the fix myself! It's a very simple bit of code.

I would love to see it implemented on the site, but I can't give out my work for free :p Pelican Parts, if you'd like to send me a voucher equivalent to what you think the fix is worth, I'd be more than happy to share the fix along with simple instructions to implement it! :cheers:

For anyone who's curious: I bought a 2002 2.7L Lapis Blue and I've put about 15k miles on it so far as my year-round daily. It's got over 150k on it now, but the trans is much younger and I'd guess the engine probably is too. Unbelievable car, don't think I'll ever be without a Porsche again!

Likely caused by participants posting oversized pictures.

Pelican... send this new member a few bucks for his trouble. OP... what else you selling? :cool:

LMAO - well since you asked: In addition to fixing the broken page widths, I could also clean up the unnecessary whitespace around each post (a whopping 20 pixels) and update the blue navbar & toolbar at the top of the page so they don't have both a grey border and a blue border, which is why they look so dated. I could go further and really make the whole forum look like an extension of the PelicanParts website. The mobile version is already a huge improvement, so alternatively I could just start with that and tweak it for bigger screens. I'd like to work for a day or two restyling the site, saving versions along the way with screenshots so you can pick the version you prefer. Waiting on that PM :p
