TV Forum Neon

Thanks again for all the comments (and bug list!). The updated topics logic is done but I'll wait and bundle it in with a few other updates in the next few days.

Congratulations by the way to all new Phil, Jonny, nwtv2003 and tomholt who get 5pts for being only 0.1m out on the ratings guess for the X Factor. So very close! Have a go for this week's Red or Black (only 3.4m for last week's pre-X Factor show). Leaderboard to come next week.

Not sure if this has already been pointed out...but in the 'Help' section, it says that there is only 5 forums - now 6!

Thank you, I totally forgot I had a guess at that, I've been using the old forum for the rest of the week, I like the design but I can't used the thread lists and layout, but I guess it's a case of getting used to it.

Indeed, I'm a bit like that. I prefer the old list of threads; not sure having the latest post on the thread name is very beneficial but rather just adds more text. But then again, I suppose it's a case of getting used to it. I'm sticking with the old forum for now anyway!

After trying to like the new system I've also switched back to classic mode. I just find the new style page too messy to look at.

Same here. I tried it for the first day but found it much more difficult to use than the old forum design, so I changed back. Kudos to Asa for trying something different, but personally I prefer a forum with fewer bells and whistles. Just so long as I can post, send messages and search old topics, I'm happy.

I hated the new forum design at first - now, I prefer it, by a long way. It probably took 20 minutes to get used to it.

I think there needs to be some breakup between topics, and make it a bit wider, everything looks so chunky on my measly 13.3" display!

I tried to reply to a PM on the normal site but it wouldn't work, so I had to come onto Neon and it worked there, just a problem for me or anyone else got it?

I really like it, well done. I have already been busy adding tags to my most visited discussions. Speaking of which, at the moment when you add tags they continue in a list off the edge of the screen, involving sideways scrolling to get rid of it. Is it possible to change this so that it goes downwards when it reaches the screen boundary?

It appears to be a bug in that awful browser Chrome. Opera users like me don't have it.

Looking at the code, it's Opera which is rendering incorrectly.

The tags are rendered with an <a> tag, with white-space: no-wrap applied to the contents. This stops the line of text from wrapping in the middle of a tag. However, instead of providing some white space between each tag (which would be able to wrap), the space is added with padding-right: 5px - which can't wrap.

So with tags not being able to wrap inside the text, or after each tag, a correct rendering would produce them all in one long line, as Chrome, Firefox and IE are all doing.
