Force vertical scrollbars

DavidONE · 2008-05-10 18:24:38

I find it distracting when moving from pages with / without vertical scrollbars because of that ~10px 'jump'. It's easily solved with:

html{
height:100%;/* Force vertical scrollbars in Moz + Opera to prevent 'jumping' */
margin-bottom:1px;
}

I'd vote for that being added to FluxBB (and this site).

That would be a definite no I'm afraid.

A very easy extension to make though, if you really want it

I'll just drop it in the CSS myself as needed... I was suggesting it because I thought others would agree / benefit.

1. Its a matter of personal preference. Personally I find a pointless scrollbar far more annoying than the page shift.

2. This happens to be one area where I think IE has the right approach in leaving space for the scrollbar but no active scrollbar.

3. If people find it really annoying they can configure their browsers to always show the scrollbar.

Fair enough.
