Hello
I am facing a similar problem
you can see it here:
http://hijaj.net/bb/portal.php
Borad Portal v1.0.3
I installed v1.0.5 on local server
set right and left block's width at 150 px
here is part of source code of my page on local server

Code: Select all

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
	<tr>
<!-- [+] left block area -->
		<td valign="top" style="width: 150px; padding-left:10px;">
		<br style="clear:both" />

		<!--version $Id: portal_left.html 591 2009-12-11 23:48:49Z marc1706 $ //-->

<!--version $Id: main_menu.html 544 2009-09-10 12:35:25Z christian_n $ //-->
<div class="panel bg3"><div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><h3><img src="http://localhost/bb307/styles/AutumnsColor/theme/images/portal/portal_menu.png" width="16" height="16" alt="" />&nbsp;???????</h3>
	<div class="portal-navigation">

I think problem is due to

Code: Select all

padding-left:10px

So how and where can I change this value?
Thanks

First of, the padding issue has been fixed in 1.0.5. Second of, Scout4All provides a Portal package that already has a few RTL fixes inside, the normal version of Board3 Portal 1.0.5 does not yet have.

Thanks Marc for prompt reply
I am aware of Scout4All's package
But I was talking about left block exceeding board fixed width, altought I set both left an righr width to 150 px

[Marc]

The problem is some parts of the blocks, for example forum names or usernames can extend the block and therefore also the column to a bigger width. There is pretty much nothing we can do about that.

could content flow css definitions help or word wrap? Was just thinking about possible things from css - that came to my mind Although the layout will be damaged and the portal probably looks terrible

[Marc]

I don't think this is possible inside select boxes and I don't think you can modify the usernames that way.
