I did post this in the Projects.html module, under the Forums bug "Right Side of Forums cut of in IE", but thought I'd post it here too for easy reference.

Anyway, I too was having this exact same problem and after reading the bug report in the Projects.html module and how it would not be fixed, I decided to look into it a little deeper. What I found was that the fix was actually quite simple. There was a missing tag in the style.css file of the cpgnuke theme. It seems that .table3 was not given any width directives, therefor it would run off the right side of the screen (due to the limitations of the underlying table).

Adding the following to /themes/cpgnuke/style/style.css solved the problem for me, and I hope it does the same for you!

Code:

FIND - (in themes/cpgnuke/style/style.css)

.table2 {
width: 50%;
text-align: center;
}

ADD AFTER

.table3 {
width: 100%;
}

SAVE AND CLOSE ALL FILES

Thanks alot for posting the solution here! I am sure it would've made its way into the next release, but it solved the problem for me right NOW. Thanks!

The reason I posted it here was because it was labelled as "won't fix" in the Projects.html module.

Glad to help.

Strangely enough, your fix fixes the problem for all my IE users, but gives ME as a Firefox user the very same problem.

This was an old, quick fix for the CVS version in December. As I posted in another thread, I would check your page source. If you see strange characters in front of

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

you most-likely have a language file encoding problem. If you edit a language file with a non UTF-8 compliant editor, you will get these characters inserted before any html output.

Editing config.php with a non UTF-8 compliant editor used to do the same thing, but it has been converted back to ANSI.

you might see those in UTF-8 (BOM) since Windows Notepad put UTF-8 (BOM) in UTF-8 File. if you use Notepad 2 or UltraEdit 32, it allow file change encoding ASNI to UTF-8.
