Look up

[Michael Morris]

Now if we could just do something about the six menus that pop open every time I try to use the Back button on my browser...

"That's not a bug...it's a feature!"

What browser are you using? (and why didn't you complain when I implemented these on the news server, it's the same darn script for crying out loud).

Maybe we (er, i mean you and russ) can set up a seprate, mirror, enworld for betatesting of new scripts and looks? Choose some people from the metaforum to have access to the page so they can click around and tell anything they notice, etc etc.

It might be a better idea then you testing it at home on a closed system. Or on the open site where it can screw stuff up.

Plus russ can see how it really looks.

Anyone like this idea?

Russ and I can already look at themes under construction on this server. Indeed there's a couple of new ones awaiting his approval for inclusion.

Contrary to popular myth, one can NOT crash the server with a bad theme (although you can certainly crash a browser if you don't know what you're doing).

IE6.

And because I use the news server as a way to get to the boards. The script is useful on the news server. Here it's annoying. The way pop-ups are annoying.

Oooh...it looks good now, though.

The new look up top is really good and the best one yet. I didn't like the look of the floating menu whatsoever. The 3e BG with the menus and better looking logo are crisp. Well done.

Edit: One thing I would remove - The little ENworld logo in the very top menu. It looks kinda silly right next to the bigger one (which looks much better than the old one).

The corner piece is there to thematically connect this page to others that don't have the ENWorld logo anywhere else on the page, like the homepage of Dusk. Also, in the future I might make a scheme without the larger ENWorld logo for one or more reasons, but if I do that tiny corner piece will remain in place as a consistent element that never changes from page to page at ENWorld.

I like it...but I've noticed that ENWorld seems to be loading VERY slowly now. Is that just the server acting up or could it be that neat bar at the top?

That's just the server having issues. Styles can't cause such slowdowns.

Hm...well, I switched the style to the old EN Classic version without the bar. Its running just fine now...coincidence?
