Forums > Social Discussion > New navigation on HOP

In the next few hours I am removing all the java drop down menus from the site, for some simple html ones.
The is a new updated CSS (style sheet) file which you may have to click "refresh" on your browser to download.
There may be some broken pages whilst I fix up any errors

Why I am doing this?

Drop down menus are not 100% compatable with all browsers
Drop down menus are slow and sometimes annoying

Also I have added google search for the site which I have found finds things much better, give it a try. Google has indexed about 49000 of our pages so you should find most things.

Please give me a few hours before reporting bad links or page errors

I'm liking the look so far Malcolm!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Yeah, looks stylish. I like it!

Google thing looks good too

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

i find it's much easier, cause if you clicked on something, and the mouse went over one of the drop down windows, the page would stop loading, so it's cool and better

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

In giving love there is an equal grace.
Nor need one seek the aura in the face,
As love unveils the beauty of all things."

Looking good

Have you clicked refresh to get the new CSS?
What part does not look right and what computer/browser are you using?

Firefox 1.0 (mozilla 1.7?) on Windows XP prof messes it up a bit, the shopping cart icon is to low, so is the 'help' question mark. The Google checkboxes have black text on a black background.



Looks fantastic in IE 6 though, nice job !



*edit* after some refreshing the google letters are now white. better.



*edit* It seems that the icons are only acting weird when I'm in the forum, while reading an article they were in the place they should be... good luck

The menu breaks as above (icons aligning bottom not baseline I think) on Safari and Firefox.

The cerved background to the "Community" haeder has a grey background so it looks bad when a different style is selected.

The sub menu is very deep on Firefox and Safari, where as on Ie it's quite thin.

Good luck with the updates

There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees

This is just a personal thing but I find the white text on greyscale backgrounds very hard to read......



expecially the second row of tab things that's lighter................

But I much prefer them to the pulldowns. Maybe background a little darker to make it easier on the eyes?
