Hi All,

I'm really new to showcase so forgive the lovely array of fresh questions that may have been discussed before.

Firstly, is there a write-up or set of guidelines on how to resize (downsize) the js slider from standard 250px containers to something half the size? Ideally looking to resize the one on the forum home only. I'll go dig up the css and templates on this but thought I'd ask first in case anyone's done this before.

Secondly, think may be a bug but the slider will become inoperable if you reduce browser width to the responsive breaking point of 2 columns and expand again i.e. it's not particularly fluid. It's stuck with only 2 image items and no scroll arrows etc until a hard page refresh.

BX Slider itself has some decent documentation, however, I don't think there is a lot of information about the customizing containers. Its down to editing HTML/CSS as well as the JS container width param (which is set on each page that uses the Slider).

Going much larger than 250 for the container is going to cause problems with NARROW responsive view.

That is a known bug with BX Slider (there are 100's of known bugs with BX Slider). Its still the best one available tho.

Thanks for the quick response Bob, I'm actually trying to reduce the overall size of that slider, particularly height. I'll fish around the BX* files.
