I decided to test it out on ie instead of firefox. To see if it is different. It is back to scroll to the side on ie and after several times x-ing out of the page and reclicking the link and several times of refreshing, it remains 'unsquished'. No bells and whistles and different colors pop up for me. Other than the scroll thing it is just the same as it is on firefox.
Bill, I am not complaining. Just trying to report what I see.

I appreciate it!
Do the words in the banner (top) "float" in place?

I love the way this page tells you you have come to the wrong place. It doesn't leave you feeling uncomfortably like you tried to go on forbidden ground like some do.
And the title is stationary up at the top of the page. I had to go back and look again.

so I STILL don't know if it is all in my imagination? Perhaps I don't need to cut back on Hornitos in favor of doubling my dosage... Then it won't matter if its really real!

I see by the old Smiley clock on the wall that its TEQUILA TIME EVERYWHERE!!!

(as soon as I get back from the liquor store....)

Bill, I am confused---Now I realize that is NOT a hard task to accomplish,

but what page are we referring back to, to see about the scrolling & buttons---- however I do like the Error page--I agree with Tina on that page.

by the way--I have IE

OMG - I am ROFLMAO!!!

Oh how I wish I could join you with a good strong drink right about now!
Packing up daughter for college, and my parents are about to get here to go out for dinner with us.

Calgon... take me away!!!


uhhhhhhhhhhh Bill? Sir? Where is this video button supposed to be?

STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP - I CAN'T BREATHE!!!

alrighty then---I just thought to say that since Tina was commenting on her having firefox...........However I am so glad I could give ya all a chuckle.

BTW: MY "IE" was meant to be...Internet Explorer---

The Magical Mystery page is RIGHT HERE

The video button isn't a button, Its a cute little blue TV set, directly below Willy.

I had a minor brain fart, and I think I might know the answer... maybe...........

I'm not giving up until I'm either committed or I prove the existence of the magic buttons

I am watching Lola rock out. It works.

I went an looked to Bill... the buttons turn gold when I click on them and the banner does look like it floats to me ... I see the tv...and watched some of the videos... the list kind of covers the tv unless you close it so maybe thats why we don't see it right away as a tv...I use IE too and can see them without scrolling on both my laptop and desktop...
Nana

Everything works for me as well,, the different buttons light up to gold when I move over them,, video plays,, Shadows frame lights up to a green.
I really really like the colors you're using for that page,, terrific!

Thank you Nana!


I told you guys!

whoops....

OK Bill..... your little "TV" works great.

The buttons on the left side light up gold when I put my cursor over them-- --
BUT to see the buttons AND all of Shadow I have to scroll side to side.



not to mention some forums go really big while others stay what I consider normal.

right now, in this thread to see the whole screen I would have to scroll over about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch---but that is no big deal---- what I am missing is just the outside edge of the shout box, and what surrounds it on the right side--and not seeing that is no problem.

PS On a main page like the one showing ALL that Banter Hall has to offer things are just perfectly positioned.

Ok, Bill. I took a screen shot of what I see and I will describe what happens.
First I cut off the right side because it was too large and didn't resize like I wanted it to. So the right side has ads in a white box.

The buttons on the right do turn gold now.
The frame around Shadows gorgeous smile turns green when clicked on
But the title on the top is firmly affixed

OK THEN!!! I do NOW see the videos, and the colors!!! PHEW!

Oh, no TV but a blue camera lens?

Bill I am not as good with a computer as Tina--

but I wanted you to know this--so I brought it down here.

Usually I can use the horizontal squishit factor to make a columned page self adjust to fit any screen or resolution but in the case of the Shadow page, each column had something with a defined width (Google ad is 728 px, the TV set is 275 px etc) The only column that has any squishability is the main one. It can be any size over 728px. If you add the 4 totals together, you can plainly see that the obvious solution is for all of you to get new monitors!

Anyway... The long and short of the story is that having four columns caused some people to have to scroll. The page just can't sqhuishit itself enough. I don't feel too bad making you scroll sideways once in a while, but since this design template will be used universally on hundreds of pages throughout TGH I changed it a bit to make it more user friendly...

I value all of your input! With it I will be able to make changes as I move through my project. Please let me know how this puppy works for you....

This 'puppy', Shadow has has always pleased me to see. The page is good, Bill. It all shows. And is pleasing.

\
1) Well first----gee if I could get a bigger Monitor I would--
but I am lucky to have the computer I do.--Bless my DD for that one.

2) That page is great---the pic of Shadow and all the buttons are great.
The only scrolling I have to do is if I want to see the ads on the right side.

All else is just perfectly situated.

Are you able to view the Forum Feed on the top right and Video Player... bottom center? Do they work?

Yes to both for me with no scrolling at all.
