New Menu

[rpm]

Hi folks

We designed a new menu which you should now see throughout the site. If your design looks strange or does not display correctly, please ‘refresh’ the page or hit ‘Ctrl F5’.

You may notice a few differences in the forum menu, the news menu and the blogs/podcast menu. We will try to iron out these differences soon…I currently don’t know why the CSS behaves so differently on these sections.

Your feedback is most welcome as usual.

Regards,

RPM

Bogs?

What CSS issues are you having, RPM (and in which browsers, if it makes a difference)? I'm struggling to see the differences...

[EDIT] Blogs using Chrome doesn't display ANY CSS menu - it's all bunched up at the side - until you hit CTRL-F5, that is. .

Looks nice. I think your only hassle is the black pipes on the Forum page, right?

I saw the black pipes as well. The rest of the site has no :hover for the links in the menu, but the Forum has color:black and text-decoration:underline...

Ahh, picked it up now. Forums still uses tables <shudder>, while News and Blogs now use lists and CSS.

I tried the new menu with the forum yesterday, but very strange things happened...will try again late today

If it doesn't work, then make the following changes to current CSS:

.linktopsecondary {
color:#FFFFFF;
/* font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; */
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:100%;
}
a.linktopsecondary:hover {
/* color: #000000; */
text-decoration: underline;
}

Remove the commented sections. It won't look precisely the same, but it will look close enough.

Afterthought here: you'll have to do something to that table row, to make the pipes white. The CSS only deals with the anchors.

Getting the following error when trying to access the main page:

Forums still uses tables <shudder>

<div>, <ul> and <dl> FTW!

I'd like to thank Firebug - I couldn't have done it without you, pal.

*tsk* A web-dev-pro like yourself should be able to spot those problems without debugging tools!

Actually, I did - FB just made it quicker to pick up the styles in use.

@RPM - if you need any help, testers, etc., you know where to look, eh?

In the Software / Web Development Forum!

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Aha - I see the Forum menu is now fixed!

 

[Raithlin]

Yes, and no. It still displays in Verdana on the Forum menu, as opposed to Arial on the others. It's hard-coded inline too - rpm, how could you!

/Weeps

It is only a temporary fix...I promise We had problems with the CSS menu on the forum and I did not have time to troubleshoot yet

 

[FarligOpptreden]

I didn't even notice that... Just saw the black pipes are gone and noticed the :hover was fixed.
