New Shiney...
 

I just noticed that the top line of the page --the one with the drop-down menus-- no longer scrolls with the rest of the page. I LIKE!!!! --but I had a little trouble finding the My Links menu in its new location when I first arrived today. Knowing *why* it was moved, however, I have no objections to its new location. Thanks, Delphy! [Now where is that Site Issues "Thanks" button..?]

I thought I was going mad when "user tools" wasn't in it's usual place. It's only now, reading this, GOD, I see I'm not insane .... yet

I have to say, I like it too

Glad I could help put your mind at rest, S3A!

And did you notice how you can thank a download and add to favourites with NO SCROLLING? Right there in the bottom left.

No, I did not; heading out to check....

Edit: Yup, that`s right!

I saw both earlier...and I must say I love it! I've actually wanted to request to have exactly that so many times, but Delphy is already busy.

Love having the static links at the top.

You can also edit your own downloads using the button in the bottom right corner, no matter what tab you're on. No more scrolling or searching for the edit button. It's all very nifty!

More new shiney! Has anyone else noticed what Delphy`s done to the "Offline for maintainence" page? It now shows status updates from twitter! YAY! ...and if you refresh the page, it takes you back into the site when the site comes back up! YAY!

Unfortunately, Delphy, while the page appears to TRY to take one to the page one was attempting to access while the site was down, it doesn`t actually do so, taking me to the site`s main page instead. Even so, it is FAR, FAR BETTER than it was the previous time I`d seen it!

Err, the whole "redirect downtime.html to the front page" has been there for years. Literally.

Odd, it has literaly NEVER worked that way for me until AFTER you added the twitter updates. It`s always just stayed at the downtime page until I manually navigated away from it. Of course, it is always possible that I`ve been doing something odd that interferes with the programmed behavior....

Even so, first the link to the twitter feed, then placing the twitter updates directly ON the downtime page are a MAJOR improvement over the way it was.

Is there any chance that the downtime page could be rewritten to remember the page that we tried to access, and redirect us there instead of the front page when the site comes back up [including any form data that we`ve entered]? The last time the site went down while I was trying to use it, it looked like it *tried* to do that but took me to the front page instead.

Why do I say that it "tried"? Well, the downtime page URL had a question mark and some stuff relavent to what I had been trying to do when I got the downtime page instead, and it had never had *that* here [on my end] before, either. ::puzzled::

Over all, I like most of the New Shiney you`ve been doing lately. .

I see that Delphy`s tweaked the Title system to replace a person`s title with "Original Poster" in threads that have been started by that pereson. Clever, Delphy!

Actually, it doesn't replace it, it just adds to it.

Ja, I noticed that after posting.

I see you have, in many places in the non-rounded blue style I`m using, replaced black-on-blue with white-on-blue. That works for me, but I note that in the process you`ve made the download thread Tabs only underline when the mouse is hovering over the link, except that the Downloading Instructions tab doesn`t underline at all. That last wasn`t intended, was it?

Unfortunately, I dislike the newest changes to the New Posts page. It spaces stuff out way too much verticaly for my tastes.

I admit to noticing this because it was my suggestion, but THANK YOU for the scroll arrows in the news ticker!!!!

I don't mind the changes in the New Posts page as much as the General does. The older way looked a bit more crowded on the page. (Then again I use a smaller screen a lot of the time. On my husband's computer the new style does make it stretched out more.)

Yeah the New Posts does look better on lower resolutions. When you consider that nearly 60% of people view the site with a horizontal resolution of 1280 or less, (which adds up to about 350,000 people over a month) then obviously optimising the site for lower resolutions takes precedence over those on higher ones.

Didn`t say I couldn`t live with it. Said I didn`t *like* it.

Meahwhile, the Install Instructions tab`s link still doesn`t underline when hovering.

GO Director - Install instructions tab does underline when hovering over.

Not when I tested it just prior to posting that, it didn`t. ...heading out to test it again...

Edit: Nope; it still doesn`t.

Doesn't for me either

Augh, I *hate* it when that happens! The Internet ate my reply!

AnimalMad, do you get just the ONE link failing to underline when hovering, with the other four tabs [and most-if-not-all other blue-on-white links] working correctly? That`s what I get.

Yup, the others all underline

It's probably an IE thing. Works fine in Firefox.

That'll probably be why it works for me then.
