Sticky header not sticky

awec

Hi all,

On my new laptop the sticky header on the site is not sticking to the top. It's still stuck on the old one but not the new.

In fact, i've just noticed that the header is missing completely on this post new thread page.

This only happens in Chrome from what I can see - not repro on IE.

Win 8.1

Other weird things:

1. The header doesn't render at all
2. The share and tweet buttons render in the wrong place.

In terms of differences between only and new laptop the only thing i can think relevant is the resolution - the new one is 2560x1440. Are you guys doing something weird based on available screen size?

still happening me all the time.

touch screen on your laptop? boards have separate rules for touch screens which is a bit backward given touch screen devices can co-exist with mice and pointer input devices.

you can get around it in chrome writing your own css rules for it using greasemonkey or the equivalent. actually install chrome extension tampermonkey (tampermonky) and add this script by opening tampermonkeys dashboard and selecting new.

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('.nav-area { position: fixed !important; }');
addGlobalStyle('#header { position: fixed !important; top:20px}');
addGlobalStyle('#breadcrumb { position: fixed !important; top:85px}');
addGlobalStyle('.homepage-container { padding-top: 80px; }');

click save then refresh boards. let me know if that works - works for me

Any progress on this without having to run a script to fix it ?

Any update on this? It's really annoying. I can't add the script on my work laptop, as they've disabled addons for some reason.

What's really weird, is if i log out of boards, the sticky header works exactly as it should.

Works fine on my home computer though.

+1 again

This is wrecking my head. The greasemonkey workaround sort of works but isn't reliable.
