Likes tree bugged in IE7/IE8

Hi

the likes tree seems to be bugged when using IE7/IE8, but it looks fine in Firefox
(see attached image for the error)

I'm using the latest 3.8.x version of vBulletin, and I haven't made any customizations to the likes tree template or CSS.

Any idea what may be wrong??




Thanks.

You may need to add a background: transparent; tag to the main wrapper to let your background show through.

Uhmmm, where??

#vbseo-likes
in the vbseo_buttons.css template (or file on vb3 vbseo/resources/css/)

Nope, that didn't do the trick.

It made the box transaparent but it's still wider then the entire page in IE (like in the screenshow), but working fine in Firefox..

It's an absolute positioned element, so it will always flow to the edge, regardless of any parent container.

If you remove the border, it may appear fine.

I have ie9 so i can't troubleshoot lower ie versions at this time.

Removing the borders did nothing, but I got it working (sort of...) in IE 6/7 now by forcing a fixed width on it.

I also see this problem, and it's been reported by users. Asking them to upgrade to IE 9 is not a good solution. Also, it draws in front of the vbulletin pull down menus for "quick links" and others.

Thanks.


It appears (from this thread) that it's only a problem with vB 3.8.x? I am currently running 3.8.6 PL1 on my forum... I don't see the same issue on this thread.

Open the vbseo_buttons.css file in vbseo/resources/css/ and find #vbseo-likes
Add this one under height there: width: 128px;

That did the trick for me in IE.

Yeah... That makes the box smaller... It still doesn't go behind the drop down menus... but I've moved all of my menus with drop downs to the left of the likes tree. It's a work around... but it works.

Thanks!
