Hi there! I'm still having my Quick Reply comments box blow out the page layout. See http://www.dirtragmag.com/gal/showph...1&limit=recent

I had it fixed until I recently upgraded to the latest version. Don't remember how I fixed it last time. I changed the quickcom.tmpl as per Chuck's suggestion and it won't do anything. Please help. Thanks!

Your using vb3 and must edit quickcom template that is in the vb3enhanced templates directory. It is a different edit that the example above which is for a normal quickreply.

Look for this code in the quickcom.tmpl and adjust accordingly to suit your site width

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Wow. Thanks! I changed the line in that tmpl in the proper directory, but still nothing. I know I'm missing something, but can't figure it out. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

HMM how about maybe this?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Hi Chuck! Thanks. Yep....tried that. No luck. I am definitely changing quickcom.tmpl within the vb3enhanced directory in the FTP area. Still nothing. Is this correct? Thanks!

Your saying you made the change as noted above in my post and your window is still spanning? Did it get any smaller?

Yep. Nothing has changed. but now I'm wondering if I'm changing the correct file because I check the source code of the page and it still says 60 wide for the column!!?!?! I'm editing this file on the FTP server:

photopost/templates/vb3enhanced/quickcom.html

Line 192.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Try copying the quickcom template from your regular templates directory to the vb3enhanced directory. It looks like you uploaded it to the regular templates directory and not the vb3enhanced directory
