    Hi all -

    You may or may not have noticed that I've put back the new DHTML menu up top - the creators have fixed the previous bugs in Mozilla and Firefox, so it should now work in those browsers too.

    Any problems, post them here.

    They look nice, but any chance of making the links relative again? The hard-coded http://www.boards.ie/* type ones mean i can't use it here any more (poxy websense filters www.boards.ie but not muppet.boards.ie ).

    I already posted on the admin/support board before seeing this thread, there's 1 problem i can see:

    The new menus use absolute URL's, the old ones use relative ones. Relative is better, as websense and the likes here blocks out http://www.boards.ie and http://boards.ie ... but not http://muppet.boards.ie. this means I can't use the menus any more :/

    Is it possible to expand the for sale category, similar to the menus under Community?

    What's the problem with it? There's 5 or 6 boards under that category?

    /prepares for autoban

    I think the reason for the "for sale" sub categories is to make people choose the right one to post in, and to also read the comments for each category.

    Yesss! This seems to have solved the issue I had with rendering delays (which I discovered recently was actually caused by Avant Browser, and not machine speed). Welcome back sweet, sweet subbed menu, and Yaaay Cloudy!

    Out of interest what are the benefits from the new menus?

    All i can see straight away is the little arrows, surely it does more than that?


    On a performance note, My subbed menu is now very laggy :(

    Pages seem to render faster for me (firefox/windows xp) than with the old menus. Subbed menu included.

    I was about to post that request too. Guess I won't so...

    It is what it's.

    Winxp and the latest IE.

    The lag isnt major, but its there. If the old menus were LAN then the new ones seem like dsl or something ;)

    Just tried myself with IE and XP. Very very slight lag first time I went to it but I don't think I'd have noticed if I wasn't watching out for it. Using a PII 400Mhz and I'm subscribed to about 30ish forums. How many are you subscribed to?

    Actually, tried again and it was more like half a second for it to drop down. Maybe related to the scroll bar. *shrug*

    Opera cough cough

    Works fine now. A little too much to the left yesterday on 7.23 but better than it was for the last week (in other words, not half off-screen) and now perfectly in the centre. Subbed dropdown has no lag for me (p3-500, subbed to about 12 boards)

    Cheers Cloud.

    Actually I like the the shift in the time delay, the other menu was a bit trigger happy any time you went near it.

    I noticed something, which I haven't before so maybe it's a recent occurance. When you mouse over forums in the subbed list and the name appears in the status bar, for a split second the full link is seen, and then changes to the last poster. Kind of has a wierd effect.

    Hmm, RE subscription menu - you couldn't by any chance remove the "Subscribed Journals" sub-menu for people who haven't subscribed to anyones journal?
    Or no, never mind - I'll go and subscribe to a few journals that'll make the brain hurts stop eey?
