desert_gold_hound Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am sorry to say I don't like the forum jumper at the top of the page. I don't like having to scroll through all this. I have never complained about this forum and am sorry to have to start. I am not saying you should change it, I am simply giving you my veiw. I am also wondering what everyone else thinks of this new feture to this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 DGH, Thanks for the input. You can click on "Forum Jumper" and it will go away. It is supposed to make it easier to "jump" from one forum to another without having to back out to the main page. It should only be utilized when you are viewing topics. You should really not have it open on the main page. I am open to suggestions though. It's easy to get rid of if the majority dislikes it. This is a democracy!

West Coast Vend LLC Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think it could be useful if you need to jump around fast to see the main topics. I would like it better if it opened at the top or center of the screen instead of at the bottom. You have to scroll up the page to see it. I will try it out to see if it helps me move around the forums quickly. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Steve, WOW, I have to say..no go for me either. From a presentation point of view...It is different and if I were a new viewer(guest) it does not say welcome... As I am logged in, I do not know if that is what a guest would see...I like the old format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Wow, This is very weird. It seems we are all seeing different things. Gary, on my screen it does show at the top, not the bottom. Jay, You shouldn't even see it unless you click on it. It should not be there all the time. Also each time you click to another page on the forum it automatically closes. I'm listening to you guys and will abide by your wishes however what I am seeing is very unobtrusive and very easy to overlook. I was afraid no one would even notice it. In fact, the image below is what it looks like to me unless I click it... Keep the comments coming! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Steve, Mine is always there and very hard to overlook..I have to page down to get to the main page. I cannot make it go away and each time I click on a page it is back and I have to page down to get to the selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Steve, Mine is always there and very hard to overlook..I have to page down to get to the main page. I cannot make it go away and each time I click on a page it is back and I have to page down to get to the selection Well then that is very annoying. :shock: I can see how that would create an un-enjoyable experience. It probably won't stay for long. We have all these new gadgets and I'm just trying to figure out what works best for everybody. You weren't here for the "sub-forum" fiasco. It was very similar. I tried to make an improvement but it bombed. Do a search for sub-forums here on the site to read about it. A few more comments like yours and the jumper is history as well. It looks great on my screen but I'm not the one that matters. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am using Safari as my web browser. I use it because it has spell check build in. Firefox puts it at the top when it opens. I like that. I am sorry I gave you the run around. It's fine on firefox. Since I am all over the site every day, I like the idea that I can jump around so easily.

desert_gold_hound Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Mine is always there. When I click to get rid of it all I see is an HTML tag show up right below it alighn = top If this is worked like you said it should then it wouldn't bother me. It is not working though. I have to page down every single time I take a new action. I had to scroll down just to poste even. I hope you can get this fixed. Its hard to deal with.

desert_gold_hound Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey I have an idea. Why not make this into a drop down menu. This would take up very little room and would be something I would use. I am sure others would use it also. With it like it is I would quickly leave if had never been here before. As it is I have been here and feel you are all like family and will never leave no matter how buggy this site gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygirl Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Steve Forum jumper is on my screen all the time too, with all the topics listed underneath. I have to scroll way down to get to the topics. Also I cliked on "forum jumper" and it didn't go away. :-( Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have to say it will not go away for me. When I tried to click it to troubleshoot it for Steve it places this on the seperater bar "align="top">" Not sure if this helps. Perhaps we should also list our browsers to see if this is related to certain ones. I use Opera version 9.51 and it loads at the top. I will give it a shot to see if I like it but I just wanted to throw in my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desert_gold_hound Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 With your browser open click "Help" in the menu bar. At the bottom will be something that says about. Click "about" and this should tell you what you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainMan Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think Beer hit it on the head. Usually when I see odd things like this it turns out it is because of my browser. It was on top for me also and I had to scroll down to get to anything and I also could not get rid of it. There is code that is IE specific and some that will work different on different versions of IE. Thank you for dumping it until it gets worked out!

caserri Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The forum jumper has been turned back on for a bit. I have someone looking at it to see if we can get it working correctly. Bear with us for a moment. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Everyone who had an issue with the forum jumper, please reply. I'm looking for feedback on how it is working for you now. It should not be open unless you click on "Forum Jumper" And it should close when you click on the link again or move to another page. It should also cover a portion of the forum, not show up ON TOP of or above the forum, thus pushing the main board down. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert_gold_hound Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Its on again with the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Steve, OK..now I can not see anyplace to "click" on the forum Jumper..so I do not know if it is working or not...I do not see anything...it is now 9:24 pm on the east coast.
