How wide is your screen - 1024x768 pixels or ?

display property says

perhaps if you drop your font settings down one notch, it would help...

Looks Good!

Definitely like the drop downs. Also like the nav. bar color with the matching forum bar main header color.

grim reaper- I went to Safari>Preferences...>Security then in Web Content: I unchecked all four items. I then restarted the computer and pulled up thesamba then went back in and checked them all again. It has been working fine. Hope that works. I am not a computer pro at all. Its what I did and it worked.

Thu Jan 01, 2009 9:50 pm

Bleh, now I have to learn something.

EDIT: But I am glad the header links work like normal when you click them.

I was actively using the website when the change occured. I had a forum page up and when I went to search for some info... BAM! The new header !

At first I thought something was wrong with my browser.
Then I thought I had somehow pulled up an old link.
Then I realized this was better than the previous page so it must be an upgrade.

Nice job, nice look.

I still get some line wrap on the headers.
I am running 1280 x 800 resolution.
FireFox Ver. 2.0.20. Just upgraded from Ver. 2.0.19 yesterday.
Windows XP Home Ver. 2002 SP3

It seems to be random. I cannot make it do it.

I just came back to edit something in this, and this is what I got. Stacked on top of each other, but the drop downs were not showing.
I am not good at doing a screen save.

I am running the same version of FF and have the same issue. I reported it to Everett and I figured it is because I am currently using a 15" monitor. Sometimes the headers line up properly, while others they randomly arrange themselves.

This is what my screen sometimes looks like: click here

love the changes. but i'm having problems staying logged in. if i leave my computer for say 15 mins come back and hit refresh, i'm logged out.

Fri Jan 02, 2009 8:10 am

Yeah, I've been having it not keep me logged in as well.

This may be a Firefox 2 issue since Icy is using that too. I am not sure. Are you unable to use Firefox 3?

When people have reported this in the past, they logged out, cleared their cookies, and then logged back in and everything was fine.

The new menu changes should not have affected this but I have had to do this a few times on various sites. I think the login cookie for a particular site gets corrupted and only a delete and re-creation of it fixes the problem.

Everett,

Here is a screen shot for Firefox 2.0.0.20

My phone looks similar to this (it is vertically displayed), except all the menu text is displayed.

As of last night, this is not happening on my laptop at home, only at my office...

They have the same screen resolution.
