forum layout issue

[Ashtagon]

Are there any plans to fix the horizontal alignment of the messageboards dropdown menu? Currently, it is shifted so far to the right that almost half of it falls off the screen and cannot be accessed (attempting to scroll doesn't work, since then the dropdown loses focus and vanishes).

Indeed, that is hardly useful that way...

If you carefully maneuver your mouse out through the right edge and then along the vertical scrollbar to the horizontal scrollbar and back, you can actually access it, but that's definitely a bit much hassle.

Actually, if you use your cursor keys, you can scroll far enough right without trouble.

I keep trying to move it, but vBulletin is a pain. I can't just edit the html, I have to rely on "template hooks" and stuff, which are predefined. I don't understand the code of the modification enough to unattach it from the template hook it's attached to (which is, believe it or not, the leftmost template hook).

Hmm... yeah, that works, too, though I have to keep the mouse pointer over the "Messageboards" link, adjusting it a bit to the left while repeatedly hitting the cursor key, otherwise it "jumps back" at one point.

This is easier:
Click on the "Messageboards" link.
Move your mouse into the big forum listing.
Then scroll with the right arrow key. No need to adjust the mouse (at least not on my computer).

Yep, that seems like a decent "workaround" until it is fixed eventually.

As opposed to trying to move where the table show up when you click on MessageBoards, would it be not simpler to simply move the mesageboards drop-down menu a couple of slots to the left??
