The Navbar is gone! Oh noes!

Woe is me.
You must adjust to the new menu system. We'll be messing with it, but it's the newer, simpler design.

Member's List is accessible via User CP, other links weren't needed.

Holy crap... I thought I had become a mod or something... I saw this cool looking drop down box, and was like "HOLY CRAP!" and all... Guess wishing on a star doesn't help >.<

But it looks cool! Really! I hope this stays, as well. It's on every screen, I take it? I see it now, I saw it searching all forums... If it's everywhere, I like it. Very simple interface ^.^

hehe... when I logged on I was like "wtf, the navbar is gone" then after getting tired of the odd annoying grey box hovering in the corner of my screen, I waved my mouse over it and realized it was for navigation...

I like the new nav... very... compressed.

I was like Mtank. I was like "where's the menu..." and I kept scrolling up and down with my mouse. I thought the grey box was some sort of bad coding and a stray pic. Then I rolled over it and realized it was a menu...

Then I looked in the mIRC channel and noticed AJ talking about it. I don't mind, it's not bad; but not the greatest thing ever.

GrassDragon

You guys suck, yeh know that?
Edge and I work on adding some cool new functionality and the first thing you all complain about is how not pretty it is.

It's intent is to be low-bandwidth, high-compatibility, low-resource replacement to an eyesore of a navbar. It uses less screen space and offers more flexibility on my part.

But in response, yes we'll work on its appearance.

/me notes that the New Posts link has returned.

Personally I liked the big oversized bandwidth hogging navbar, but this new design definately has great potential. The way it appears when you hover your mouse over it is neat.

And I really, really like how it scrolls down the screen with you. The top feels a bit naked, but I definately like the new one.

Bah, who wants low-bandwidth when you can have a high-powered, cpu sucking, incredibly extravagant sidebar that is loaded up with every single thing possible? ;)

Mmm, new posts. Eh, I suppose I'll grow to like it, eventually. Like most things.

I noticed the refreshing space and more room where the navbar used to be(^_^)

I like it that it scrolls down with you.

I like the new nav menu a lot. It just takes some getting used to...although one way I think it could be improved is by adding text on it to make it more visible, like "Navigation" or something.

It's designed to fade in rather than continually follow the screen to cut down on performance requirements. However firefox apparently doesn't support the fading feature, and therefore puts a greater strain on the server and your computer.

Hell yea. Now, as for the new menu... well, considering I've been fixing a 50-year-old computer for 6 months(I hate my ship), its a welcome change... for 3 seconds. The Java IRC client seems pointless to me(go-go gadget ChatZilla!), and so does this. Thumbs-down but nice attempt to save some bandwith and money. So, watcha gonna do with the free bandwith? Make a taco?

I don't think you enjoy/need it. You, from what I can tell, don't enjoy/need this site. Also, from what I can tell, you don't like me very much. Now, on to why I'm even responding. I don't like your java IRC client. Why? Not as big for reading as, say, ChatZilla, and the ability to change your text colour. Using white text on the white background has been used time and time again to make AppleJuice(or any of its monikers)say stupid stuff or to spam gratuitously. I don't like the new menu. Why? Too small. The navbar was something I could actually read from any sort of short distance. The new menu, I have to get close to see the small print. My eyes suck. I can still read without glasses, but its too small for my tastes.

I think some people need to realise - and be grateful for - the efforts and personal costs that go into maintaining this site so they can whine about every little thing they possibly can.

And I think some people need to realise what is their business and isn't. I would gladly pay to maintain this site, because I'm paid enough each week to support a $400 dollar endeavour, and I have more than 10 times that amount in my bank account. In fact, I do run my own site. I pay to maintain the Rome Total Realism modsite, and from the amount of traffic it gets, things get pretty pricey. You should be glad I'm taking minutes out of my busy and time-constrained day to come here, when I could be making to do skins for Rome Total Realism, pay my expenses, earn my pay, fix some of my broken computers, the list goes on and on. You can do all the effort you want, it all comes down to the members to come here and make that effort worthwhile, or to listen to a few complaints to see how to make the site better or easier to learn. I'm not saying the IRC client and smaller menu make the site worse, I just don't see a use for them.

The new Java IRC client isn't meant to be mandatory for all IRC users. I still use mIRC, and I'm sure most people still use their IRC clients of choice. The Java IRC client was offerred as an alternative to those who did not want to, or could not, download an IRC client.

As far as changing text colour - every IRC client has the ability to do that. For mIRC, it's ctrl + k. I'm not sure what the command is for Chatzilla, but if you look around a bit, I'm sure you'll be able to find it ^_^.

The new menu is affected by the 'View -> Text Size'. If you're having trouble seeing the menu, I would recommend changing the default text size to 'Larger' instead of 'Medium'.

I know that, but my assessment is that it cannot compete with ChatZilla. I never said it was mandatory, nor did I say it was meant to be mandatory.

Ok then, don't let it compete with ChatZilla. I, nor any staff members, have any qualms with you continuing to use ChatZilla instead of the default Java client. I don't see how this has anything to do with our site though?

No offense, Kongurous, but why do you dislike it then? If you're not using it; you don't even have to browse to the page. Therefore, it's of no use to you.

Also, I don't think AJ was upset at your comments about the changes in the site, it was mostly about the "Thumbs-down but nice attempt to save some bandwith and money. So, watcha gonna do with the free bandwith? Make a taco?"

Sorry guys; the earlier problems were caused by me trying out something that turned out to have major bugs, then my internet dying so said bugs couldn't be fixed for a while.

Edit: There may still be a little bug present on the menu but there were only two ways I could do it, and so I went with the slightly-less-buggy of the ways. Haha.

It looks nice. The only problem (I assume this is the bug) is that it expands and when you move away it stays expanded (you have to roll-over it again to minimize it). Other then that teeny tiny problem it's very nice and goes with the forum skin nicely.

Modred
06-17-2005, 12:07 AM
The new one is too wide. It overlaps with the left borders of the posts and, in my opinion, that looks horrible. The expanding is also much less smooth than the previous attempt, and as others have mentioned, it does not properly close.

Correction: It overlaps with the left border of the view of a forum and in places such as advanced posting, editing, and UserCP.

T-Dawg
06-17-2005, 12:28 AM
The expanding bug is less a bug, more a .. precise way of doing it correctly. Heh.
You just have to make sure you roll over it else it can not recognize your mouse scroll and stay active.

In terms of it overlapping, that's an extremely minimal overlap.. I think you're being far too critical of it.

Oooh shiny. Very small and much easier to access than the old one. I don't have any problems with it, but maybe its been fixed now. I didn't like that with the old menu bar, you would have to scroll all the way up. Goes great with the layout of WB, did I mention shiny!?!

GrassDragon
06-17-2005, 12:41 AM
Works perfectly with mine (aside from the fact that it doesn't follow my scrolling and there's no animation, but I didn't have that before). My only real issue is that it was anti-aliased for white and the header (which is the only place is shows up for me) isn't white.

I have to agree with Kong here. I really don't like it. I don't see the point, besides saving bandwidth. That adds up I suppose..but I liked the static bar better. Easier to access, and cleaner.

Lem'me guess... It doesn't retract always to the menu button after hovered with lil' mousie. You've gotta hover it twice for it to close.
But since this is the 'Forum related issues' area, this is meant to know our opinions of it for making general improvement, right (Modred)? ;)
/me 's almost sure it will get fixed *

And to the many that are against it, bohoo. (Mainly Orodreth n' Kong' now.) Get over it, at least it didn't crashed the site (wich isn't ours anyway, I might add). :devil:

edit: on second thought, it appears to have been fixed. yay!

Ok, before it was fixed, you would open the menu. Then, you'd look for arcade, remember its position, and then move your mouse to it. Yes, the menu would have closed, but move your curser again, and you'll have selected the arcade.

It's broken again. Oh, I don't see how your trick could work.

In case you didnt notice, when the menu closes, it only opens by moving the cursor back the menu bar. The link becomes non-existant until the menu is opended. How would the arcade then be selected if there is no link to begin with? when the menus closes, the link goes with it. The only way to reopen the link is to reopen the menu. the only way to reopen the menu is to put the cursor over the "icon" thingy-ma-bob, but when the cursor goes below the logout, the link becomes non-existant until the menu is reopend. moving the cursor to the links location therefore becomes uselss. Perhaps I would have a better understanding of this if you could show me in some way.

This new menu sucks! It closes itself when I try to go to the arcarde, unless I turn my font size down.

... don't worry, we'll fix it ;)

Now, back to our regularly scheduled post.
I have come to say that I have absolutly no complaints about the new menu. (I figured it would be a relief after so many people complaining about problems.) Good job on the new menu Mods! It's great! I love it!

This is a bad, bad bug that keeps happening...the menu doesn't expand when you mouse over it! It happens sometimes, I've noticed when you are on page two of a thread. And sometimes if you click a link on the page rather than hitting the back button to go to a different page, the menu will still not expand on the next page either. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Basan: I can live with it easy enough..just seems like time that could be better used elsewhere. It's the little things that count though, I suppose, and if it pleases the majority, eh. I'll deal.

Wt ...!?! :o And where (else) may I ask? :P
If the menu now follows our page view display, it's way better imo. That way I won't have to browse back up to see it (yeah, yeah... it's a lazzy @** excuse). :smirk:

Btw, go read back (if you haven't) n' you'll see the main intentions about reducing the menu size and appearance (aka more free bandwidth and PM's storage available).
