I missed the big change, but I don't really mind the ads, if Kyle needs them to keep the site running I don't mind that. I'm glad that it still has the same feel tho'.

It looks really nice, but having the sidebar push the entire page content to the left just doesn't look right to me. IMO it's better for content to take up as much screen real estate as possible, which frankly isn't happening here. Perhaps you can move the "site navigation" bar up a bit to blend with the header and spread the other boxes throughout the page more? Or would it be possible to at least have the content area spread out underneath the sidebars?

One reason you don't have that blank area on other forums is that the effers have ads running all the way to China, so the space is filled.

Konqueror lacks the ability to display many HTML/XHTML correct websites in an appropriate fashion, I don't think the problem is so much with this website than it is with a lack of support by your browser.

The thing is, the ads are more likely to be clicked at the top. They are more likely to be overlooked on the side because you can just completely phase out the side, but you can't completely phase out the top.
Unless the ads are required and not optional in which case ignore this.
I still want the nav bar at the top again, though

I have Adblock, but that isn't my point, the rest of the sidebar makes it just as bad.

I'm running Firefox. On Windows.

Also, something I noticed recently is that things that would normally stretch the page horizontally instead seem to be wrapped into the content area, but the sidebar is still pushed over:

Ugh. Please don't regurgitate myths you may have heard on some forum or chat-room or whatever. Konqueror has very impressive CSS support (including support for some very cool CSS3 attributes) and general standards support. So yeah.

Not sure if you've fixed it, but it's still some javascript error on the page, and I can't use the menu buttons (on IE, but works fine on firefox i guess... )

I am still trying to figure out what is wrong with the javascript.

DaWei · Jul 11th, 2006, 10:18 AM

My debugger says there is a problem with this line: (" 'null' is null or not an object")

(Toggle Plain Text)

	if (typeof addr != 'undefined')
	{
		fetch_object('pagenav_form').addr = addr;
		fetch_object('pagenav_form').gotopage = vBpagenav.prototype.form_gotopage;
		fetch_object('pagenav_ibtn').onclick = vBpagenav.prototype.ibtn_onclick;
		fetch_object('pagenav_itxt').onkeypress = vBpagenav.prototype.itxt_onkeypress;
	}

Don't know if that's any help (I don't get the error in Firefox, just IE) ....
