cool liking a lot, one request though, is any chance of having a hover delay/time setting for the menu trigger? I would like to have a 1 or 2 second delay between mouse over and the menu triggering to minimise unwanted activation
Just looked into this some (as you may or may not have noticed), but alas, there's no real way to do so with the menu framework we're using. As it is, if you hover a nav item to open the submenu, and then click on the same nav item, it won't go away unless you click elsewhere. OnClick is really the ideal setting in this case.
Choice is good, but I wonder if it would be better to make the full-width setting the default. Otherwise people might see the narrow post width and think the site is broken or badly coded.
I considered that, but decided against it unless I hear an uproar from people. The limited width is definitely not "narrow" - matter of fact, it's far wider than most sites, at 1170px. For comparison, most frameworks stop at around 960px.
Regardless, we can replace the current news announcement with one stating that people should go set their defaults.
My only complain would be the gray box below that contains the drop down menu with all the boards and the "go" button, it kinda needs some tweaking to fit on the hole theme.
That's on the to-do list, which now looks like this:
- Deeper darker News Bar colors
Fluid/fixed width toggle? - DoneStatic/Fixed navbar? - DoneSmaller navbar? - Seeing as the navbar setting is a user-preference, I consider this no longer relevant.- lightbox-esque script for images
- Signature mouseovers
- Button font?
- Messy area above quick reply box
I've been seeing these weird things happening to posts where the post will have both a horizontal and vertical scroll bar. That's annoying at the best of times, but it's actually completely obscuring the post itself, when the post is a single line long or shorter. It's quite irritating.
EDIT: I'm using the fixed width option. That might be the problem. Switching to fluid width did not fix the problem.
What browser, OS, etc? Are you zoomed in or anything? Also, screenshot, please.
My primary complaint right now is that on small displays (like an iPod Touch) the floating top menu covers half of the display.
Actually after trying to post a screenshot from my iPod, this site is unusable on small displays, because of things like, the login box being covered with the floating menu when you click on to start entering text. The posts are too wide resulting in continuous scrolling horizontally. The post box is too wide for the screen (and still has that impossible to use bar to make the box taller instead of a scrollbar). Everything that is not visible by default has a white background.
I'll be doing some testing on and changes for mobile devices over the weekend, I hope. Hang in there.
Is the text encoding for the site supposed to be UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1?
The HTML meta tag says ISO-8859-1, but I could have sworn it was UTF-8 before, given that the topic of the Whatcha Listenin' To? thread appears incorrectly when the encoding is ISO-8859-1 -- the copyright symbol appears as two characters instead of one.
While I'm posting:
- Font size for buttons (Post/Preview/etc) seems rather large, as does the the font size used when composing replies to posts. This is in Firefox on OS X, in case that's useful.
- +1 for the floating menu bar and on-click instead of on-hover. 
Thanks - the forum setting of ISO-8859-1 was being overridden before by hard-coded tags specifying UTF-8, and in my recent updates, I removed the hard-coded stuff. I've fixed this by changing the forum setting itself to UTF-8.
Button & text sizes are all micro, but I may get to them this weekend, we'll see. Added to my list.
