New site layout and improved navigation bar
Posted: March 29th, 2014, 7:14 am
As you'll have noticed, a new site layout is now live here at portorleans.org which should make navigation easier and better utilise screen space. I've not gone all Microsoft 'big square boxes' trendy, so the basic look and feel of the site should still be very familiar.
Everyone who checked out the test pages seemed 100% happy, and I found no further issues during testing - in fact, I think it works a lot better on many browsers than the old layout did, even on mobile devices which is a plus as it's not yet optimised for them. Please let me know if you have any problems on whatever esoteric browsers you normally use.
I do know about the overlap issue with embedded YouTube videos (for some reason the normal fix for this problem doesn't seem to be working) and a very minor menu-text formatting issue in Internet Explorer when you refresh a forum page (it loses the white shadows behind the navbar/header text) but otherwise it seems to be working well.
Update: Some Apple device users have been reporting problems via the Facebook page, so if you can't use the navigation bar please use the sitemap at www.portorleans.org/sitemap.php in the meantime.
