It would be nice if people sized their images regardless, especially graphs, as that would make the viewing experience better. Does anyone know what the maximum size is before triggering the horizontal bar?
The scrollbar is added by the individual's browser when the browser can't display the content in the current window width - so the maximum size depends on the individual user's window width (and to some extent on the specific browser they're using). Try resizing your browser window and see what happens.
There's a fairly reasonable discussion about this at
http://webdesign.about.com/od/webdesign/a/aa080904.htm (first google hit I found).
We could recommend a maximum of maybe 500 or 600 pixels, but this will still cause scrollbars for some people.

Or we could just add the following line of CSS to the forum theme...

I'm getting this error just trying to quote when posting:
An Error Has Occurred!
Wrong value type sent to the database. Array of integers expected. (tag_ids)
I've noticed the volume of posts is down dramatically, so I don't think this upgrade was the right way to go.

You think more of a conservative approach would have been better?

Try again. I disabled the Tapatalk module which may have a bug.

I use "Show unread posts since last visit" to keep track of new posts that I have not read. With old software, if I simply clicked on a topic it was deleted from the list. Now they continue to show up unless I specifically go to last page or scroll to last post (which I prefer not to do if I am not interested in a topic).
Very annoying. Any suggestions?

I also use the Show unread posts since last visit link to keep up. I also find this above glitch annoying, although I normally click the button on the right side of the topic that takes me to the last post right away, anyway. If starting at the front, I guess we'll just have to make a habit of clicking to the last page before leaving the thread.
Another thing that I'm finding annoying is that the software seems somehow to be marking posts as read that I haven't read. I have a large number of posts that I haven't read, where when I go into the individual categories, the posts have "NEW" next to them, but when I click on the view unread posts they do not show up. Once I managed to clear all of the "Unread posts since last visit", the software tells me that there are no unread posts since my last visit, then gives me an option to click a button that will take me to "All unread posts". Is there a way to get a link to "All unread posts" at the top of the main page, so that I can go directly there? I guess if I need to I can probably bookmark that link and always click that when I'm finished reading a post, but it would be handy if it were built into the header somehow.

i have noticed unread posts showing up in the category's, but not in the unread posts since last visit link, as well... i assumed it was caused by people using the edit function after i had read the post, marking the fact that there were changes but not actual new posts....

I could probably inject some nasty code in there if I was a mischievous person.
