I have noticed that when browsing Kitmaker sites with Chrome vs Internet Explorer, there are formatting issues in the area where I select the page in a multi-page thread. Is it only me or is this an actual issue between chrome and the html* code? (* I know its more than html)

Google Chrome




Internet Explorer

Weird. Both my PC's do the same thing. Must be some setting I have.

Ivan, It's not only you.
I mentioned this issue to Admin several years ago. The bigger the page count, the more they tend to stack-up under the 'LATEST POSTS' button. I use Safari on a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone. Here's a Safari example.

Safari



My solution has been to momentarily zoom-in on the page to get the underlying numbers to appear. HTH.

PS: Hey Tim, Don't even THINK about thinning-down your 'Operation Anthropoid' pages. Lol! 🚃🚃🚋

Using Chrome as well.
Not having the problem you show in the pics, but do need to log in every time I visit the page. Strangely enough not so on other Kitmaker sites.

Top down: Firefox, Chrome, MS Edge & MS Internet Explorer in that order

That issue btw seems to be something to do with the font sizing on that specific browser. You can tell browsers to ignore the font size a web site uses and upscale smaller fonts to larger fonts. That's what it seems to be doing for all the small button text. Once it does that yeah it blows the page formatting all to hell.

Fixing that kind of issue really means an entire rework for that page layout, etc. Not impossible but not really on my top priority list right now sadly.

Best wishes,
Jim

Well.. that said.. I could look at maybe moving those buttons down to the next section as they wouldn't really obstruct anything on most forums there. Not sure about long forum names though.

I haven't done any fiddling about with fonts or their sizes in any of the four browsers I showed above so the screen capture shows the default settings for these 4 browsers. Firefox and the two Microsoft browsers keep themselves updated so those three are the latest and greatest for Windows 10. Unsure about Chrome ...
