NeoVision killed the top menu?

Fri Jun 01, 2007 9:27 am

Okay, The "Video" tab on my menu at Neopets is acting strangely. Although I have all this blank space to either side of the main module, it's wrapped to a second row (and bumped the clock down). My browsing window now looks like this at the top:

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how to fix it? It's rather annoying, especially since if the module was stretched for my resolution then I'd have no problem.

Neopets: Don't use fixed sizes in modules! People with smaller resolutions will miss out on stuff and need to side scroll and people with larger will have blank space to the sides! I learned that in Web Design ages ago. :P

Yep, I have the same thing. Both the neovision link and the clock.

Why do I get the feeling that recently, all the new features look like if they're in early alpha stage when released... :x

EDIT: And the moment I post it, it gets fixed. Boy, complaining really works wonders :roflol:

EDIT 2: Aaaaand now it's all messy again O_O' Well, at least it shows they're working on it...

I have had no problems with it at all.

Neither do I. Would it be the browser's fault?

I forced a refresh, and now it works. It's annoying though, I wish we got the option of customizing the menu. There's some links I never ever use.

Works fine for me. What's your screen resolution? It might not be fitting properly because of that.

Argggggg! :x

Well I've had no problems with the menu, that's good. But I'm PO'ed about it's very existence.

I remember when we first found out about this stupid video thing, I said "well at least I can just ignore it" But it seems as if TNT is saying "Oh no you can't! "They keep forcing it on us. So many reminders about the spotlight in the news, and now this damn menu! None of the other similar features (like art gallery and whatnot) have their own menu, why does the video need one?

I tried adblocking it just out of spite, but then of course I have a lovely blank space in my menu bar.

I'm inclined to agree - I really dislike when sites force you to have all these menus and things that you NEVER use. It's not that hard to allow minimal customization or the ability to disable certain features, but it would make a LOT of people much happier if they did it.

Anyway, I had that problem earlier, too - I think for me it's because I keep my screen somewhat small so that the layering with all my other windows will work properly; only problem is that it tends to squish things a bit in wesbites made for larger resolutions.
