Coding Complaint Thread and Menu Bar

[Rocket!]

Y'lo.

Recently, there's been about three thousand complaints in regards to coding complications. No menu bar, the worlds page hating you, etc.

First off: sorry. I'm still getting the hand of this coding thing, so there's gonna be some bugs given we just got started. ^^;

Second off: here's the links for the menu bar, while I try and get it fixed.

[ HOME ][ HELP ][ SEARCH ][ MEMBERS ][ PROFILE ][ LOGOUT ]

And thirdly, I'd appreciate it if everyone having issues would post here telling me just what they are. If I don't know it, I can't fix it!

Be sure to tell me if it's only on a certain page, and what web browser you're using-- the complication could be that your specific browser isn't the most recent version, or the codes only work on a certain browser (something I hope to remedy).

And thank you all for not sending me hate mail in regards to it, too. ^^

And... begin!

Well so far the only other thing besides the menu bar is the chat box on the main page doesn't work the way it should. It doesn't refresh when you click it, and when you post a message it doesn't show up. If you click the go button again it posts it a second time. The only way to view new cbox posts without going to an area with a side version is if you refresh the whole page.

Sometimes codes don't like you...they like being arranged in a specific way. They're mean like that.

If that's the issue, Elsa, then my name is now officially Bootstrap the Paratrooper! ;D

Both issue are in a table, and relatively isolated from other enclosing tags. Worth double checking though, I'll give you that.

*waves hand frantically*

Can I get a web browser name? Internet Explorer, Firefox, what? Some codes only work in certain browsers, after all.

Looking into the Cbox thing... but nothing yet. T_T

[Villainous Angelus]

I have that issue in FF, Safari, and IE.

[Rocket!]

Buckets of fuzz. ><

Alright, I'm on the job.

OH AND HEY I think I got the World pages issue fixed. Can I get a confirmation on that?

[Secret Agent Cat]

Alright~

When I'm a guest on IE, I see the Home, Search, Help, Etc...

I just checked in IE and the Cbox refreshed by itself. :)

That's a negative on the Worlds, my FF just froze.. I just checked IE and it works there.

*bangs down long and hard on the keyboard*

SPOILER: Click to show

DARN YOU FIREFOX YOU LOUSY EXCUSE FOR A BROWSER!

...

I never said that. NO PRYTH DON'T HIT--

The worlds page is probably a code issue, with what I'm using to give the World names pictures... I'll have to poke around for another one. ><

TO PROBOARDS!

There are two problems to date with your main page. The chat box and the missing menu.

What does this mean? Your main page is the problem. Remove the main headers. Check to see what that does. Replace the main headers, and then repeat the process with the main footers. This will give you an idea where the problem code is.

My guess is it is the ridiculous welcome table on the home page where you take up all that space is the problem for the menu, at least. So try removing that entire chunk of code.

Another possibility is that the Globals and Mains are colliding, which would just suck.

I took a look through your codes, and everything looked good enough. No bizarre codes or mistakes that I noticed. Codes are colliding. Common Proboards problem.

The cbox issue doesn't make sense considering the problem, so I look forward to hearing what fixes that.

[Rocket!]

Okay, I've gone through the whatnot and I think I fixed the menu bar. I'd love it if I could get a confirmation on that though.


As for the cbox... hmmm....

You'll note there's two different widths the same cbox coding is at... the front page is larger, while the sidebox one is dramatically thinner...

I didn't have the Cbox website do the width changing-- that was all me poking and prodding at the code.

As is such, there might be some behind the scenes coding I can't get ahold of that better suits what the cbox website thinks the width is-- i.e. the smaller one.

If that's the case, then no matter what, it'll only work on one page.

Hmmmmmmm.

*goes back to code working*

EDIT: For the record, I'll get on the World images page after I've taken care of the cbox. It looks like it's just FF code hate from where I'm standing, so it should only be a quick code swap.

[Tempest]

Menu bar is back.

Cbox is still buggy.

[Villainous Angelus]

Yup!

[Rocket!]

Okay, try the cbox now.

[prythian]

Nope.

[Rocket!]

And it's still only on the main page?
