Update to display ‘Quick Links’ drop-down. There’s one annoying gremlin I can’t figure out – the dropdown is missing the little ‘down’ arrow graphic. It works fine on my local copy and in Opera, but not the online forum in Firefox (grrr). Regardless, the dropdown selector works OK. If anyone can spot it – feel free to shout. :)

Also forced scrollbars to stop ‘jumping’ when moving from pages with less than / more than full screen of content.

It’s working here in FF, little down arrow and all :)

Wwwweird. No little arrow here. Cleared cache, etc. I don’t like computers. ;)

Destry · 2006-09-17 06:49:25

No arrow for me neither, but I’m not bothered by it.

Arrow here :) (Opera 9)

@David
just another question: can i switch all international forums to display none except for germany, france, italy and spain?
(i know i can find out myself but i am not so familiar with this very comprehensive forum stylesheet. )

Just a sidenote for Opera users: i definately have to restart my pc to get Opera to display the new style version. Refreshing site or emptying cache does NOT help.

David_1cog · 2006-09-22 12:15:16

alexandra, no – it’s all international or none. This was discussed briefly further up the thread.

Curious, I didn’t need to restart Opera, never mind the PC to get the custom CSS. I’ve added a note to instructions in OT.

Is it just me, or does the new Txp Network Link “feature”, slow page display for anyone else while it loads then disappears? It’s most annoying.

On a technical note, wouldn’t UL have been more appropriate than DL for the menu?

NyteOwl, I was having all kinds of problems till I cleared my cache and restarted Firefox.

I just tried that, didn’t make any noticeable difference here. Such drop downs really shouldn’t display all their entries until clicked or hovered over.

They don’t.

If I were you, I would check that:

you aren’t getting any JavaScript errors or warnings
temporarily disable Greasemonkey and Stylish, see what difference (if any) that makes

If it works fine with the latter two disabled, then you know where to start looking for the problem.

The drop downs are doing exactly that here.

Javascript console shows no errors and I have neither of those extensions installed. It also does it in Internet Explorer and Opera.

Same here, FF 1.5.0.7 and Opera 9.01 (not in IE6 though).

NyteOwl, do you want the dt entries to expand the dd's – hovering over “Elsewhere” will expand those links? That’s not how it works, if you read the /js/lib.js code.

Here’s a pointless video too, since I wanted to try out Wink:

No, I was just wondering, per my original post if anyone else had this happen. When a forum page loads, that “drop menu” loads fully open before the rest of the page and stays open until the page fully loads. Cursor is nowhere near it so it isn’t a mouseover. It produces a noticeable lag and is annoying. Moreso if you open several threads/sub-forums in seperate tabs.

I can’t replicate the problem in any of the mentioned browsers (plus IE7). I did find something else “off” in Opera, though: a strangely large horizontal scroll?

I’d say the lag might be some download delay of the JavaScript file, but if it happens every page load then that’s not it either, as it’d be cached after that.

Does the Textile Quick Help link do the same/similar?
