New Look Website
I see Mr PM that you have been busy with a few subtle tweeks. However if I bring up the menu on the left, a number of tabs do not work and have no 'on going' indicator pointy thingys. Is this still work in progress or is there something that my brain has not computed correctly?
Does the OS have anything to do with it, I am still on windows 7.

Re: New Look Website
Hi Arrgee,
Yes, it's a work in progress and teething problems are expected. Thanks for the feedback.
Can you tell me exactly which bits aren't working?
I'm testing on Windows 7, and Ubuntu with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome. Mobile testing later...
The little pointy bits are only on the the flags for areas of the site which have subcategories (like the Forum). When you mouse over them, the sub menus should slide out (similar to the plus buttons on the old nav bar). Otherwise, if you click on the flags, you should go directly to the main page of that area. I noticed the search link was out of order - now fixed.
Apart from doing away with the troublesome Flash navigation, the idea was to hide most of it off-screen, leaving more room for content.

Re: New Look Website
Hi Mr PM, the ones that do not work are those that have no triangles ie Home, Arcade, Arena, Calendar and News. When they are clicked, they disappear until an alternative one is clicked.
Not a moan, just an observation and many thanks for all your hard work on this website.

Re: New Look Website
They all work for me, triangles or not.
I can't see one though titled "Ladies with questionable morals" ..... mind you, there wasn't one before ..... I just live in hope.

I'm not sure what you mean.Arrgee wrote:When they are clicked, they disappear until an alternative one is clicked.
On mouse-down, a slightly smaller flag without the area name should appear briefly before the browser takes you to that area - a sort of animation effect. (If you hold the mouse button down over a flag, this 'nameless flag' should remain in view until you release the button).
Re: New Look Website
When I move the mouse over a particular title, that title then has a union flag on it as in pic 1 (Calendar). When I then click it or hold down the mouse button, that title/flag disappears as in pic 2, and nothing happens
However, I have just logged on with a MacBook and everything is working ok?
Could it be outdated flash player or something similar? or maybe clear the cache?

Re: New Look Website
Thanks for the screengrabs Arrgee. I hadn't seen that before, but I can replicate it on Internet Explorer (even though I tested extensively on that browser).
Must be something I changed recently - I'll look into it. Nothing to do with the Flash player, by the way. It's all done with cascading style sheets.

Re: New Look Website
Thanks Mr PM, the down side is that I was just about to argue the case with Mrs Arrgee for a spanking new 27 inch mac on the basis that my existing machine must be giving up!
oh well plod on......

Re: New Look Website
OK, I've cobbled something together which seems to more or less solve the Internet Explorer misbehaviour.

Re: New Look Website
When IE was the default browser, the lack of standards compliance probably worked in their favour.
I wonder if Microsoft Edge will be better.

Re: New Look Website
For some reason Chrome will no longer run on my desktop, so I had to install the development version (Chrome Canary). This revealed more problems with the menu, caused by some forgotten remnants of the old style.
Fixed now, but you'll probably have to delete the cache to see the difference.

Re: New Look Website
I cannot get the last two EH auction results in the arena.The whole screen is filled with the artwork of golf machine,chocolate vendor etc.This appears on other arena pages but I am able to scroll down on the right hand side to arrive at the item.The problem appears to be one of inability to scroll down.I am on windows vista and internet explorer.Thanks,Tony.

Re: New Look Website
I have cleared the cache but no joy,never mind,as I can access EH direct to get the results so not the end of the world.

Re: New Look Website
Site is looking good, took me a week to get used to the much larger size of everything though, tried adjusting but made it worse. Only thing I don't like is that damn swinging screen image if you go too close to the left hand edge!! But when it comes down to it only interested in the cool info, doesn't matter how it's displayed.
