News Always At The Bottom Of Page

griff · Feb 9, 2004, 03:35 AM

Any time I log onto the site, the opening page loads and the News items ect. always load at the lower half of the page. Any ideas why this happens? It is the only site this happens on.

Odd... What Resolution.... could you perhaps post a screenshot.. (i'm not completely sure what you are seeing).... If you need someone to host that screenshot... just send it to me....

I am using 600x800 resolution. I could not post a screen shot here so I emailed it to you.

Probably stupid question but.... did ya try and raise the resolution and see if it solves it?

Looks to be a Resolution issue.... lately... alot of webpages including DH are becoming non friendly with 800x600 and resolutions below that..... there just isn't enough room to comfortably fit it all on there....

1024x768 will do greatly....

But if your monitor doesn't support that res at a decent frequency... i understand that problem...

You could start by making the TEXT smaller by going to VIEW the TEXT SIZE and adjusting that... sometimes that'll pinch in just enough room to fix things....

Well all of this happens cuz 1024*768 is becoming more and more the standart resolution for almost all aplications...

It's due to the resolution and the browser you're using. If I reduce the frame of the page it does it to me, too.

I think he's talking about the fact there is so many "stickies" for site news on the main page that we have to scroll down half the page to see any new news items that are posted about non-DH related stuff.

There are only three at the minute and you dont need to scroll you can click the news links top of the page and it will go to that article, no scrolling needed.

The problem is DH is designed for 1024x768 resolution or higher. Whats happening is the middle table is being forced under the left table due to the low resolution, it cant fit the middle and right table into the screen.

We have been through this before in feedback.

Thanks guys problem solved by changing resolution.

I've had this happen a couple of times at 1024x768. This may be something that can be fixed with a deleting of your temp files and cookies and a restart. Now I am not saying that it will work but it may.

it happens if an image is posted along with the news that ends up not fitting...... ... @ 1600x1200 or 1920x1440... i can't see myself ever having an issue within the next few years yet...
