Quirky formatting on latest nightly download

Quirky formatting on latest nightly download

Hi... I think this is just a problem with the last nightly download... the install went fine, but the formatting on the top of each class' page is slightly odd... the dark orange box that has the navigation information (you know, where the " mmodle -> class -> etc.-" information has a blank line both above and below the navigation lines.  It's not a dramatic problem or anything, but it looks less attractive and "bulky"... it doesn't seem to be doing the same thing in the demo classes here on moodle.com. 

If I'm not being clear in my description, you can visit my guest class (htp://www.conflictresolver.net/moodle)... If you go to the NCC Courses area and choose the Example Course, the password to get in is "LEARN" (all upper case).  The same formatting quirk appears on all my class pages. 

John
p.s. I greatly appreciated the Don't panic notice about the database error during thelatest  install/upgrade... I gave a big Yikes! when I saw the error pop up, and it was a welomed reassurance.

Looks OK to me in Mozilla, IE 6 and Opera ... what browser are you using?

Does it only happen when you are using a teacher account?

I didn't realize it until you asked and I checked... and yep, it's only while logged in under the teacher account... so nevermind smiley.gif 

Thanks!.

It shouldn't even be doing it for the teacher account.

It would be the edit buttons causing it. The problem is that some browsers add space around forms, which ruins HTML tables.

The fix (which I implemented on Sunday) is to add a new CSS style to remove the space. Some browsers may not respect this though ...

Hmm... I rather like the idea of my browser being surely at times.  For what it's worth, I'm running version 6.0.26 of IE explorer. 

And now for something completely different... does Moodle use the smtp mail account for sending out subscribed forum messages?  I haven't been getting any of the new forum messages over email that I'm subscribed to (on my system that is).  I've been trying to figure out if it's just because I'm the admin and its not sending me notes, or if it's because moodle goes back and tries to use sendmail for forum subscriptions even though it properly uses smtp for new user verification.

Argh, my apologies, John ...

I now see the quirky formatting problem, and it was indeed a new problem caused by the Netscape fix yesterday. It wasn't showing up on this site because I use a custom theme. Doh!

Fixed now, and I've re-rolled 1.0.6.3 to include it.

Netscape 4 still has display problems but it's usable now at least.
