I think it's cool.. Maybe those buttons need some visual upgrades but I think the idea works..

Yes, it's better now that it doesn't follow the scroll... still it could need some different coloring to fit the main site better.

I must have missed the first version people didn't like, but the current version is very nice IMO. I agree with LordT, the help files are out of sequence. xcom points to tftd faq, tftd->apoc faq, apoc->xcom faq currently. Otherwise very nice, ties in well with the site's look.

1. The first version looked just like the current but it was all the time in upper edge of the browser. Followed there if you scrolled the page down and up..

 

2. Yes those Helps lead to wrongs FAQs.

 

3. I still think it needs something (colors, etc.) to blend in the rest of the site..

I designed it to only blend in with the forums so that it would not be an eye sore for those who frequent the forums.

 

This is my first menu of this sort, and I'm definitely not the most color-coordinated person :P

 

The menu shouldn't be covering anything up (as judge_dead said in his first post) but if anyone has such problems with it, please let me know.

 

Breunor, go here: http://xcom.narod.ru/ for a demo of the menu when it's not stationary.

I think it's more important for it to fit the real site as that's what it's really a part of. It looks quite off there at the moment.

Well, frankly, I dissagree. I consider the forums to be vastly more important than the main site because this is where Xenocide is being worked on. I was ready to leave the menu mobile for a few more days to see if anyone got used to it, but when Red Knight complained about it... well, it had to stop moving, obviously.

 

How the main site looks is not a big deal to me as long as it is functional and people can find what they're looking for. I could go on and on about sites that look really 'nice' but I can't find a darned thing.

 

However, a simple compromise came to mind while eating pizza this afternoon: why not make two menus? So I'll be working on another one for the main site.

I agree that the forum is more important but I was refering to that you hardly see it here as you scroll the forums and topics and you don't use it for the forums as it leads to other pages while it's a cornerstone for the site.

 

2 menus sounds like a good idea though.

It's not like I threw up porn ads, people... sheesh. Better?

Porn ads sounds good!!!!!!!

 

Anchor to the top of the page I think is fine, then it's no different than before when one entered the forums via the main page.

Besides being morally opposed to javascript menus (CSS baby! :rock: ), they seem to work very well now. But then I've been the deisgnated "devil's advocate" for that menu before, eh Micah? :D

The menu IS CSS formatted ;)

 

But I'm not all for javascript either. The code in this script could be prettier at least :D

LordT: Well, if you'd like to forward me some cleaner code, by all means, you can find my email address in the menu :P

 

Breunor: Indeed you have been. How's this one doing in your browser :) I also created a site index here which is accessible from the index page.

 

 

Okay, we took care of the "stalking" menu. Any other complaints or (God forbid) suggestions?

I wouldn't ask for suggestions if I were you, quick! You still have time to move and change your email address!!!! Hurry.....

 

I think the current menu is fine. I too missed the previous version, but I could see how it could be annoying.

I didn't say I'd heed any of the suggestions :devillaugh:

 

You think the old frames menu was better? ... :uzzi: Frames

Hello there!

 

Just wanted to say that I like the menu. Don´t know why there is so much trouble and critics about it. It works, looks good, what do you need more?

 

Keep up the good work! It´s hard to satisfy everybody. I know it´s not easy to build up a good working site. So don´t argue about that!
