Grey Dead Spaces

PITA

July 30, 2012 10:38:07 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Hey guys, once again I am getting the thing where when I post a reply, I get taken to the bottom of the page and have to scroll up through a sometimes vast amount of dead grey area to get to the bottom post.

 

 

Just sayin'......

Really, well lets see if it happens to me.  

 

EDIT: Nope, it posted my reply and brought me back to the last reply, mine.  What can I say.

Using IE 9, no addons or extra tool bars.

Do the threads in question by chance have enormous images in them? Or is it happening on any thread?

Now you mention it... It mostly happens in threads with images/screenshots.

Snowman blames the shitty/slow photobucket/imageshack

But it occationally happens in other threads too.

As a for instance, I just checked vStyler's Agenda thread, and it has lots of gray space at the bottom.  He has a large image in the OP.

 

https://forums.wincustomize.com/427653/page/10

 

Even my Omen - WIP thread has gray space, but not as much as the Agenda thread as the image in the OP is less tall.

I'm just glad it's not fifty shades of grey. 

Dunno, but I read somewhere they're pretty dirty.

Sure, grey can be dull and uninteresting, but when people say them fifty shades are downright filthy I just don't get it.

Hmmmm, maybe if I put my glasses on I'd see what all the fuss is about.

If you see it in a thread with no images that's news, but yeah, the reason you see that in threads that do have images is because some browsers (Firefox at least) don't recalculate the page length after the images get shrunk by javascript. The length of the grey area will correspond to the total original height of any shrunken images.
