Hi Per,
I tried to answer in your forum to this post.
The preview worked, but while posting (two attempts) I ended up with:
Database error!
MySQL server has gone away
Therefore I'm replying here.
I bet rotten_republic is using M$IE6.
We had some discussions about this effect already e.g., here:
I never saw this effect in M$IE7 and - of course - within the Mozilla family...
It was difficult to reproduce, so most likely Alex simply gave up. I think it's an CSS-issue, but no resolution from my side (I'm still using a heavy patched 1.7.6 version - I don't dare running both versions simultaneously at the moment).
Thanks, Alfie. I was able to reproduce this in MSIE7 too, but I don't get it in Firefox 3.01 (which is the one I use).
It took quite a while for me to get to the error message. Something tells me the reasons for the error message is a timeout. Why I get it I don't know, but perhaps this post (since it seems to generate the error every time using MSIE7) can help in troubleshooting and providing a bug fix for the fixed post-RC version?
