In reply to: How to collect data entries into the database?FormBuilder works very well for me!
It’s a great replacement for Wufoo forms being displayed inside your page, and much cheaper. 🙂
The only outage is that I’ll have to customize the CSS, to make it look cleaner, which is never an issue with Wufoo.

In reply to: How can I control the width of my Disqus text entry?I just found an easier way to do this…
Go to your Disqus account and add the following to Custom CSS:
#disqus_thread { width: 600px; }You can login at disqus.com, or go to Your Site’s WordPress Admin > Plugins > Disqus > Settings > Manage.
JJ Coder,
Why does the image disappear when I hover over, after adding a link in the alt field?
Please see the third image loading in the slider on eightfive.net

In reply to: How can I control the width of my Disqus text entry?Awesome! Thank you!
I did exactly as he listed… in the link directly above.
1. Added the CSS to my site
2. Added a Width tag to the discus_thread CSS item
3. Added the link to the script and CSS file to my header…Now my site is formatted correctly.
Thanks!
AdamThis was caused by IE8’s compatibility mode. However, it may still exist in older version of IE, testing that now.
I added the following to head to disable compatibility mode:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />http://twigstechtips.blogspot.com/2010/03/css-ie8-meta-tag-to-disable.html

In reply to: Page content posts fine, but is truncated shortly thereafter…Thanks royalprince! I found some more info…
The web server hosting my WordPress installation is a Win2003 box using IIS6, therefore Permalinks and URL rewriting are not natively supported.
In order to activate them… I need to implement an ISAPI filter and custom config file to place in the root directory of the website.
Anyone know where I can find this ISAPI filter and custom config file, or instructions on how to write it?
Thanks!
Adam<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> <!--[if IE 7]> <style type="text/css"> #container {margin-top: 250px;} </style> <![endif]-->seems to render all my pages and posts correctly!
Hello again,
I removed:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8; IE=7" />and replaced it with:
<!--[if IE 7]> <style type="text/css"> #content {margin-top: 250px;} </style> <![endif]-->Now header.php doesn’t overlap home.php in IE7, on the home page and posts, it still does on pages, links from the top nav. Why?
Also, in IE6 and IE8, the buttons for Google Translate and my Aweber integration show up… but they’re gone in IE7.
Any ideas on how to:
1. eliminate header.php from overlapping home.php on nav Pages in IE7?
2. allow the Google Translate Submit button and Aweber form to display in IE7?Thanks for your help!

In reply to: Disable the 'Please moderate:' emailExcellent! Thanks Esmi!

Ok, got it. Thank you!
Do you have any idea what tag in style.css I would need to make specific to IE7 so home.php would not overlap header.php?
Every other browser plays nicely… but IE7 is a mess. See here: http://api.browsershots.org/png/original/2f/2f77af4e2eb1b81891e5a5ea579ec13e.png
Thanks!
AdamMy stylesheet is below:
[CSS moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please post a link to your site instead.]
Yes, but that seemed too obvious. 🙂
I do develop all our content from the Firefox browser… not sure how that helps make the CSS any better. What benefit does Firefox have over IE in developing code and working in the dashboard?
What do you mean ‘develop your site using Firefox’? We have 30% of corporate viewers visiting our site on IE7 from their company-provided laptops, so we can’t get people to use Firefox.
Any thoughts on specific tags which would cause the header.php to overlap home.php? I would use conditional formatting to have a IE specific CSS section without these tags causing the overlap.
Thanks for your help!

In reply to: Sharebar is duplicated on mobile site… why?I found a work-around… not exactly a fix.
I disabled ‘Display horizontal Sharebar if the page is resized to less than 1000px’ in ShareBar’s settings. For Carrington Mobile… it would render both within the ‘Single Post’ page…
If I could maintain the functionality for Sharebar to ‘Display horizontal Sharebar if the page is resized to less than 1000px’ for the desktop… and not duplicate on Carrington Mobile/other mobile browsers… that’d be optimal.
Adam
FYI, This is Sharebar

In reply to: How can I remove certain boxes/fields from the 'Add New Post' page?The goal of this is to help new contributors and editors get up to speed easily… having all the bogus, unused fields displayed on the ‘Add New’ page and ‘Dashboard’ isn’t simplifying our support process.
Instead we’ve decided to close down registration, and make people apply to be contributors… and we’ll train them in the process.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Adam
