Title: New Headers!! Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 20, 2006, 03:03:59 PM Not fan of the new taskbar at the top given you links back to the main page I have only been on for t he past 30 secons and have clicked links to parts of the site I didn't want to be just now.
Very off-putting anyone else agree? Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: booder on June 20, 2006, 03:05:52 PM ;iagree; ;iagree; ;iagree; ;iagree;
Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: matt674 on June 20, 2006, 03:08:01 PM dont know what all the fuss is about to be honest - my mouse cursor very rarely gets that high up the screen anyway. I know they are there and if i ever want to visit other parts of the site i know i can do quickly, the same as being on the main page.

Re: Spell Checker added to blonde « Reply #73 on: Today at 02:31:30 pm » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from: tikay on Today at 02:14:12 pm The idea is that it makes it easier to navigate across to the Main Site which is something we need to get Members to do. We want to carry ads on the main Site, & keep them to a minimum (BPL apart) on the Forum, but unless Members go to the Main Site more often, that won't work. So we are trying to encourage more traffic by making it easier to get across. I had agreed with everyone that under no circumstances was the change to be implemented without me knowing in advance, so that I could forewarn the Members - they don't like the place altered without them being made aware. Clearly, there was a communication fauilure. My apologies. (end of post) There is also some discussion about whether the banner should be rollover or clickable...this is being referred to the techies. Title: Re: New Headers!!

Post by: snoopy1239 on June 20, 2006, 04:00:55 PM I'll enquire with the techies about making it clickable, but I agree with Matt.
If you don't wish to use the menu, then why is your cursor up there? Title: Re: New Headers!!

If you don't wish to use the menu, then why is your cursor up there? When you refresh a page or go to a new thread, often the cursor is over one of the menus. Also, if you have the browser set quite small, to allow you to read and play at the same time, there isn't that much room anyway. The menus constantly flash on and off, very annoying I didn't realise there were instructions that came with the new menu bars!!!

Get a second monitor, have the game tables on the 1600x1200 monitor to 4-table while continuing to browse blonde on the main screen in full blown up technicolour :)up Title: Re: New Headers!!

Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: matt674 on June 20, 2006, 04:13:15 PM true
but then reading posts like this on a small browser is a right pain in the @r$e!!!! ;goodvevil; Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: Ginger on June 20, 2006, 04:17:53 PM See how it sometimes floats down to over the threads? Damn annoying!
[attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: Trace on June 20, 2006, 07:49:13 PM I too vote clickable
Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: snoopy1239 on June 20, 2006, 08:58:45 PM Could someone please give me a clickable example (ie website) of one that you'd like us to mimic.
Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: bundle on June 20, 2006, 09:18:54 PM Snoops I think what they are saying is, when you go to refresh the page you get the drop down menu (annoying). So rather than passing the essentials tab and seeing a menu appear, make it so you have to click essentials for the drop down to appear.
Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: snoopy1239 on June 20, 2006, 09:20:14 PM I understand that. I was just wondering if someone could link me to an example. I don't want to make the change and then find that it's not what people want.
ps. can u not hit F5 to refresh? Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: bundle on June 20, 2006, 09:25:18 PM I don't know of a site to point you to.
Yes i can hit F5 but 1 not everyone knows this stuff and 2 i lounge back in an office chair with the mouse in my hand, typing or using the keyboard involves siting up.. Now i know you don't expect me to sit up everytime i refresh Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: Bongo on June 20, 2006, 10:00:06 PM No, that's what mouse gestures are for...
Title: Re: New Headers!! Post by: snoopy1239 on June 20, 2006, 11:21:17 PM rolldown/clickable aside, are you guys happy with the banner and menu being on the forum? good idea?
