It all went very smoothly Phil and I must admit to being quite pleased with the result...

I'll be hanging around here for a good while now to check all remains happy... Expect a load of irrelevant posts from me on here :wink: :twisted:

It was actually a bit before.. I gave myself plenty of time in case of issues and there were none at all :)

Hi Jim, looks nice but lacks the auto width setting of the last board. This is particularly needed to select last post when viewing on smart TV in side by side mode.

No worries, I believe I know how to resolve that. I'll prove on the test system and then on here..

I lack any wide monitors to fully test it so will have to rely on feedback!

I've done a small mod to the css on the BXC Test Forum in an attempt to work around this issue..

I have nothing wide here to test it on so grateful if you could have a look at it on the Test Forum

http://www.xmv6.co.uk:8808/forum/index.php

And see if that's any better... If it is and there are no apparent drawbacks I'll put it on the live BXC...

Thanks!
Jim

What sort of device have you been using to look at the forum Vince?

I did notice a problem using a very old Windows Smartphone the other day...

Can't detect difference Jim. However the problem just seems related to the index page where the right hand side is missing Other pages seem to auto-wrap ok.Incidentally for side-by-side operation on smart tv the page display is more akin to portait than wide.
