HELP: The Problems I Encountered Using ElkArte

I'm about to launch my stories/poems forum using the ElkArte software on Wednesday.
But I have a few issues that I need help with.

1. In Ucbrowser (Nokia 110) the words are written in the centre instead of left and this makes one to scroll down alot (problem wasn't encountered in Opera Mini).

2. I think the images that represent login and registration when you use an Opera mini to visit an ElkArte should be converted to text because new guests wouldn't understand what they stand for.

3. If I try uploading an attachment using Ucbrowser, my entire message body will be cleared and still no attachment.

4. When posting sometimes my message body gets clear without me trying to upload and attachment using UCbrowser.

5. There are no sub menu like addonsettings and the rest (maybe because of phone, I don't really know.

These are all for now.

The site is www.encafe.com.ng , so I'm expecting a reply.

Where exactly?
I tried with my phone, but it seems to look good:

You can do something like this in your index.css:
Code: [Select]
#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-left: .5em;
    margin-top: 0.5em;
    float: left;
}
#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 0;
}

These seems issues with some javascript function associated with either the editor or the drafts saving.
Honestly I don't know what it could go wrong with the specific browser, and I'm not really able to give any valuable advice. Maybe Spuds has some idea.

In all browsers or just UC?

The number one problem seems to be because of my screen size and Ucbrowser..
It was okay on Opera Mini.

Which code exactly should I remove and paste the new one.

Well, looking at your reply.
The number 3,4,5 problems are because of UCBrowser, it's just that it's my favourite browser.

What's your screen size?

I forgot to tell. lol
Actually, (and this is even better) you can create via ftp a file named "custom.css" and save it in "themes/default/css".
Then in this file you put:
Code: [Select]
@media screen and (max-width: 50em) {
	#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
	display: inline-block;
	margin-left: .5em;
	margin-top: 0.5em;
	float: left;
	}
	#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
		visibility: hidden;
		width: 0;
	}
}
And that should do.

I understand, I too use a browser that I prefer over the others and has always some issue. lol

Screensize: 128*160.
I will try the code, thanks for your response.

The truth is I can't code a css file, so it's better for you to tell me which code to edit in index.css.

You have just to create an empty text file, CSS has nothing fancy.
What do you use to access ftp? FileZilla?

Sorry, but now I'm getting curious.
How did you manage to install ElkArte?

Please be patient! We all have a life.  ;)

I am sure someone will help you when this person has some time for it. Till this happens you have to wait, sorry. It will not help if you push your thread every few hours. I know boards where you would be warned because of such a behaviour.  :-X

Besides... Emanuele posted the code a few hours before:

Code: [Select]
@media screen and (max-width: 50em) {
	#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
	display: inline-block;
	margin-left: .5em;
	margin-top: 0.5em;
	float: left;
	}
	#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
		visibility: hidden;
		width: 0;
	}
}

Put this into a file called custom.css and copy it then on your server, as Emanuele told you before.  ;)
