avatar missing in thread view - IE 6

Hi there!

First of all great script! Thank you all for putting so much effort into this neat compilation.

But i'm experiencing a visual bug, in particular in IE6 (yeah I know this browser sucks :-| ) - the avatar pic doesn't get shown when you switch into thread view, maybe the browser is not capable of the float-css wrapping the picture is in? Anyone experienced the same?

[...] in particular in IE6 (yeah I know this browser sucks )

Sure!
Which OS (NT, W2K, XP, Vista; which service packs)?

Cann't confirm it. Working in IE (6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111IC XP Pro SP3, all patches installed)... Blast.

Logged of from IE, opened Seamonkey 1.1.10, logged in, tried to upload a screenshot from IE (248x256px, 8bit PNG, 4.63KB), saw the thumbnail, clicked on in to insert it into the post, and:

oh shit, I'm logged in (I see my name in the top right hand corner, but get the same error as milfan):

Error!

This name is already reserved by a registered user

Oh even worse. Changing my name to 'Alfie1', hoping to be able to post as an unregistered user, I get the error again - and my name in the form changed from 'Alfie1' to 'Alfie' (still logged in).

Now, I will logoff, let's see.
OK, it get's interesting, logged off, logged in again, copy&paste of my first reply - same error.
Next try: logoff, post as unregistered.
Aha, no upload-link to browse, why not. Let's see whether I can post.

Worked! Next try will be editing the post in order to get the uploaded screenshot in.

Edit: logged in as 'Alfie'
OK, I see the image, inserting doesn't work; give up...

Edit: Inserted the screenshot by brute force (looking for the file's name in the pop-up).

Edit: [img=right] looks funny (slips below Alex's reply, even in Seamonkey), maybe a CSS clear-left would do the job.

Error!

Sorry, I was tinkering with something... ;-)

Hi thanks for replying.

WinXP pro 32bit, SP3, IE 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111. seems to be the same setup over here.

Cann't confirm it. Working in IE (6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111IC XP Pro SP3, all patches installed)... Blast.

But I still can confirm it :lookaround: ... I tried it from work and home now, let me prove it. I chose the URL http://mylittleforum.net/forum/index.php?mode=thread&id=3079#p3079, there should be an avatar in the second post.

IE6:

Firefox 3:

notice the difference? You can also try and check out browsershots.org - unfortunately the same results here on the IE 5 and 6 line. :confused:

yup... that's it. unfortunately I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so I won't be able to look for a fix next days myself... but I'll keep an eye on this thread :-)

Cann't believe that this "IC" in the minor revision saves me...
Just tested IE 7.0.6000.16681 (Vista Business, all patches no SP1): OK.

Wrong. Luckily you are going on vacation tomorrow. :-D

Hi peaceman,

IE6 [...] the avatar pic doesn't get shown when you switch into thread view

A simple position:relative seems to fix it:

div.ct-postinghead img.avatar { position:relative; padding:5px; background:#f5f5f5; float:right; }
