infected Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I noticed today that the sidebar ("main menu") on the left hand side only appears when I'm not logged in. When I log into the forums it disappears! What's going on with that? I tried clearing my cookies, but that didn't do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stealthbomber Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 In related news, I tried to log into Arnies from my new PC today. When I got to the news page the sidebar on the right (with links to the reviews, forums, chatroom etc) was missing. I know it sometimes jumps to the bottom of the news page (first time you view Arnies?) so I scrolled down but it was missing completely. No biggie. I just added "/forums" to the URL to get here but somebody looking at Arnies for the first time might think there wasn't much to the site if it happened to them.

Anteater Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 The navigation bar on the news page tends to jump around depending on the pictures posted there, if a picture is long it knocks the Nav to the bottom until newer news has been posted to move the image down and allow room at the top for the nav to return. I had it disappear completely like you said a few times and I finally stopped acting like a dunce and changed the URL in my favorites to add /forums, I rarely read the main page now. I guess that it may also be caused by images posted on the main page, prehaps there just isn't enough room for the nav to be placed, as in an image at the top and towards the bottom that conflicts with space so the nav isn't generated at all. Should be fixable if the posted image width was restricted and images were posted on their own line so text wouldn't space them. Maybe just have the images automatically reduced like they are on the forums and people can click them to open a new image window for a larger view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yup sorry if someone posts an image that's too wide on the front page it'll pull the navigation set on the right to the bottom of the page. The advice for the news staff is not to post an image wider than 480px because of this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
