Achievement bar stretches the page
« on: June 22, 2009, 22:31:05 »
Just to say that on all your beautiful 4000*3000 pixel displays this may not be noticeable, but on my poor little 1024*768 (SOOO last century dude) everytime someone has the acheivement bar in their sig (pretty much one per page in most posts) the page is stretched out which just makes things annoying.

May I request a smaller bar be made, or at least people who use the bar use [spoiler] tags. Nobody even looks at other people's achievements anyway (at least I don't think so).

Also, I don't think I'm the worst off either, some users may be using 800*600 or 640*480 displays from the early 1960s...

I think everyone should put the achievements in spoilers...
Spoiler: Achievements (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Backloggery (click to show/hide)

I could modify the themes' css-codes to include a max-width, but I'd rather opt for the obligation to put the achievements into spoiler tags too.

LPC?
...or could you modify the achvmnt tag so it automatically is also like a spoiler?

Hmm...

I would urge for putting it in a <div> with a scrollbar to ensure that its only say... 800px wide.

Edit: done!

Yay! So we can have outrageously huge siggies now and it will put a mini frame like thingy on your siggy?

Can't be higher than 200 pixels, and LP just said a <div> extends to 800. Width-wise, though, yeah.

Only the achievementbar will have scrollbars. Not the rest of the signature.

Would it be possible to make the scrollbar thing optional? Because the achievements bar fits okay on my screen, and the scrollbar is obtrusive.
good bye

No, its not possible. As soon as I stop the width, it will stretch up the layout and case a scrollbar on the website itself.

The only alternative, is adding support for auto putting things on a 2nd row, making the height of the image larger. But I don't have time to implement that.

It is possible, but it's very annoying and difficult to do.  Not really worth it.

Lets put it this way, if I want to do this, I'll be getting alot of trouble due to various browsers not supporting it properly. Leaving for alot of slow workarounds etc...

Hmm, how about a percentage? Set the max width to 75% of the screen (or some other number) that way big screens have beautiful sigs and small screen don't get annoying scrollbars...

Unfortunatelly, width percentages on a div are not supported the same way by all browsers.
