Please report Amiga Lore bugs here.

Not exactly bugs but:-

Main Project's & Links Page
When you've added 'EAB Facebook Page' beneath 'English Amiga Board (EAB)', everything has been pushed down and the description text has been pushed below the frame.

The Titanic on the Amiga - 100 Years Later article the level map/gamemap for Titanic Blinky is broken.

Seems like there's a problem with item #9 on that list.

On the main page http://www.abime.net/ I get a horizontal scrollbar no matter how I resize (widen) the browser window, same problem in Firefox, Opera and Chrome. Also, all the vertical scrollbars for each column makes it tricky to scroll the whole page if you use mouse wheel.

I tested the main page (http://www.abime.net/) using NetSurf and AWeb in latest Amikit, both failed. The forums and HOL works fine though.

The page doesn't load at all when using a browser without Javascript, or where Javascript is disabled. I guess a message like "You have to enable Javascript" would be in order, if it is required.

I use chrome (ver 18.0.1025.162 m) but I don't get this horizontal scrollbar, I'm using XP SP3 @ 1440x900 and I have also tried on my other setup using Chrome (same version as before) XP SP3 @ 1680x1050 same result, works fine.

What screen resolution are you using?

The vertical scrollbars should work with the mouse wheel when the mouse is hoving over each area.

I'll add a message when Javascript is turned off and have a link to the old abime.net portal (which is here now - http://old.abime.net).

The site doesn't support Amiga browsers. It's heavily based on a Javascript library... (sorry!)

I think modrobert was referring to vertically scrolling the whole MAIN PAGE up and down (the screen res must be small), when he uses his mouse wheel, he needs to avoid the other columns that have any vertical scrollbars or the main page won't budge

EDIT: The horizontal scrollbar problem: Other people are having the same problem as modrobert and they are using resolutions of adequate size... I tried IE and that shows the horizontal scrollbars no matter how wide you make the browser and my res is 1680x1050 which eliminates the need for that scrollbar, still don't know why my Chrome works fine as it doesn't on others :s

[modrobert]

My current resolution is 1440x900. I use Linux (Gnome).

Here are screen shots from each browser at various width.

Yes exactly, not really a bug, more of a comment.

Your height of browser means the vertical scroll bar is always present and that may be why there's a horizontal scrollbar being auto displayed. This maybe caused because the browser thinks something is always being cut off from the width or maybe it's down to the code in Amiga Lore.

Make your browser as high as possible to eliminate the vertical scrollbar and then the horizontal one will disappear too so long as it's wide enough

EDIT: Switch off the status bars in IE, FF and remove any download status bars that chrome adds too, to maximize the height

[modrobert]

I can confirm that full screen mode (F11) works, so your theory about the vertical scrollbar causing the horizontal seems correct, but I avoid browsing in full screen mode. Generally I use pretty slim browser windows, A4 paper format, and a bit of desktop visible over and under.
