[Meta]Drop Down Menus on News Site

[Michael Morris]

Can we get them at the top of the boards?

I *think* so... However, WotC hasn't figured it out - so that isn't encouraging.

Also, I'll need full admin access to change the spacing at the heading (the ad banners and the ENWorld Logo) to make room for the menus.

The problem is that some of this material has to be inserted at the code level - and there's always a risk of crashing the PHP program that builds the boards. That won't erase the messages, but it will knock EVERYONE off (including the admins) until the error is fixed. I'm studying the code now, and any monkeying will be done in the wee hours of the morning to avoid major disruptions

Looks great to me and works fine.

My only real annoyance is that the Meta forums do not seem to be listed. But, that is a very small annoyance and I can get to Meta in other ways.

I can add them - I guess I should. BRB (should take about 5 mins)

Looks great! I sent you an email with a few minor problems, but I'll repeat it here in case you see this first:

1) Forums is spelt "Forums" not "Forumns".

2) Some of the links are wrong or outdated; the correct ones are on the news page. Topsites is the one I noticed.

3) Could you change "Russ" to "Morrus" - otherwise people get confused with seeing different names about the site.

Thanks!

Will do.

Requested changes complete.

Remember to hit Refresh to see them - the javascript file that controls the menus is cached to save time for dialup users.

Oh, and could we add in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy News page and the PDF News page somehow? Perhaps an initial dropdown (before "Community") which lists D&D/D20 News, Sci-Fi/Fantasy News, and PDF News?

Part of the point of the bar is to make sure it stands away from the rest of the page. On the Dusk site I changed it to dark blue because the page is black - And on the ENPublishing test page I changed it to dark red. I want the bar to be visible.

Fair enough, could the black bar be extended all the way across the screen then? I'm running at 1280 by 1024 and it stops in the middle. (and looks sort of odd)
