Error Forum main page shows no subforums

Raffwal · 01-10-2012, 04:21 AM

EDIT: The subforums are actually there after a huge empty space. The problem is the same as in the "what happened" thread.

Since a few hours, the main forum page Pentax Photography & Camera Forum - PentaxForums.com shows no subforums and there's just a blank space in their place. The other fields seem OK, search works normally and so on.

Mac OS X 10.7, latest Google Chrome.

Page down; the subforums are below the sidebar. I'd guess some tweak of the CSS has done this...

Must have been some crazy text in the sidebar; if you see this again save the entire source and I'll try to figure out what it was. I'm betting it's some foreign/unrecognized character that screwed up the width.

Adam, it is constantly so since less than 24 hrs. But the main forum page only. What source do you mean, HTML source code, a larger screen capture or what?

Adam · 01-10-2012, 09:10 AM

Right click on the page, select "view source" or "view page source" and save that to a file, then attach it here. That will allow me to figure out what's causing it. I'm betting it's a strange thread title somewhere in the sidebar.

Here's the source. It is NOT zipped, but the .txt only RENAMED to .zip because there was a 100 k limit to txt and this is 160 k.

As I thought, this great thread title screwed it up:
Grab bag: lenses/cameras/flashes/filters/bag, including Vivitar-A 24mm ƒ/2

Added a space and that should fix it!
