Scrolling the Messages

On the longer threads, I have to scroll the web page down so that I can scroll the messages down in the messages box. Kind of a hassle. Can that be fixed?

I agree especially when working on a notebook with a small screen where somtimes you have to operate multiple layers of scroll bars to see something of interest. Since large forum items are automatically split into reasonably sized pages, getting rid of the innermost scrollbar would help alot.

and here is how to do it ...

In the HTML below (generated by forum.php), add scrolling=NO and change the height to "4400" in the line marked red.
The decoration at the bottom of the screen will seem a bit far away for shorter threads unless it is possible to reduce the default page size in Pforum.

I will see what I can do, that change will just make all of the pages longer. I will look into it and see what I can do.

Nick, I just discovered we still have that problem on long threads. Check out "probably easy question" under "Harmonica Chat", for example.

Could you make it break into another page?
If so, could you put page number links at the top AND bottom of the thread AND in the message list?

I can't change the forum to work with this. I have to work on customizing the forum to match the website which has proven to be a pain in the butt so far.
