I found the other version much more user friendly. I like the lines and I liked the colors on the main page. It was much easier to differentiate which threads had new responses. I'm confused now.
weird, the lines were only gone for a few minutes for me last night. everything looks back to normal now. the only difference is the thread-title bars are twice as thick as they used to be.
The main problem is with old versions of Safari. Always something. I'll figure it out... somehow
Looks like there's a problem with Firefox too.
Those screenshots above were taken on my G5 running Tiger 10.4.7. I just checked it out on the Macbook running Leopard 10.5.3, and suddenly the colours were right again (I'm assuming the dark grey scheme is wrong, or????).
And what's up with that "X said:" thingy? Looks redundant. That only shows up in Firefox. When I switch to the Macbook running Leopard again (still Firefox, logged in), "X said:" is gone and everything looks normal.
* Edited * --------- It shows up in Firefox even when you're not logged in. I just hadn't noticed it in the first screenshot.
Oh well, looks like I'm safe with the version of Safari I'm using anyway.

Another thing: I wasn't logged in when I took those screenshots.
When I log in (G5, Tiger), suddenly Firefox displays posts like this:

To make it even weirder, when I switch to the Macbook running Leopard again (still Firefox, logged in), "X said:" is gone and everything looks normal.
It's all stylesheet related. I have special code in the headers that detects whether or not an iphone is viewing the forum. It then redirects you to a certain stylesheet based on browser and resolution. Works great on all current browser versions. Obviously it's problematic with older browsers who don't understand the new cutting edge code and CSS.
I hate to be one of those dudes who threaten people to upgrade their browsers... and stop being so 2006. Then again... I enjoy easily browsing this forum with my iphone. Right now you can't please everybody.
So Far I have covered these bases with no problems:
Windows:
IE 7+ = fine Firefox 1.0 + = Fiine Opera 8.0+ = fine
Mac:
Safari 3.0+ = fine Firefox 2.0.0.7+ = fine Safari Mobile for iPhone = fine
Problems for Mac:
Safari 2.0 and below = white-out version Firefox 2.0.0.12 = dark grey table
Mac Tiger heads... see if you can upgrade to the latest safari or firefox. It's a small % but I beleieve we can do this until I can get a win-win situation.

I'm going cross-eyed - feel like I'm reading alphabet Fruit Loops floating around in milk.
I'm an "SS 2006-2007 Retro" guy myself. No problems here.
Plus having tables instead of CSS will mean longer load times and more overall data transfer (Raj's-hosting-bill-related).

Gotta love IE.
IE8 is supposed to be the shit. I'm a total internet gadget nerd.
im using the classic skin and now all the posts are white text on a dark grey background!!!
I'm on a mac with osx and safari.
did I catch the cher.exe virus or the microwave.exe virus or the labcabin.exe virus?
I tested this site in the latest versions of Safari and Firefox on my Mac and on IE 7 on my PC. All is fine. Let me know.
i'm on OS 10.4.9, and safari 2.0.4 and I'm seeing the white-out version.
[color:white] Can you see this? [/color]
SAFARI 3.04[/b]
FIREFOX 2.0.0.12[/b]
OPERA 9.25[/b]
CAMINO 1.0.3[/b]

Looks like something is up with the Firefox colour scheme. And Opera is the only browser where the post content is centered.
Can't say about IE Explorer as I don't use Windows yet (making a Boot Camp XP partition on my new macbook pro later on tonight).
