Fleet Command Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 As soon as I sign in to Neowin, the nav bar at the top starts occupying two rows. This started to happen since two days ago (I think.) Things get worse if I try to scroll down: Part of the article always remains obscured. I could reproduce this problem in Firefox and Edge.

Good Bot, Bad Bot Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Same here... This issue is only in Firefox as it's fine in Chrome and Edge. Neowin, please test site changes with Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2021 I think it is to do with your member names being long. I will report it, maybe a good trade off is to do how browsers do it and not display the name in the Nav header, just the photo avatar.

Steven P. Administrators Posted August 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2021 I proposed this to devs, waiting for a response I suggested the icons be spaced so they are touch friendly too (here they are using the default spacing we now have on the page).

Fleet Command Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) A joke among the old-time developer is that one can assess the programming experience of software developers by asking them many characters do they allocate to human first names and last names in their databases. Experienced developers allocate 255 characters, no less. Inexperienced developers think 50 or even 20 is enough. The longest family names they can come up with is something like "Ratzenburger".

I am using the same username when test on Chrome and Edge. LOL adrynalyne 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleet Command Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 For the time being, I deployed a client-side CSS patch. Please let us know if something came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 15, 2021 It is fixed, ctrl +f5 on main page We also fixed the search field behavior (now opens to the right covering the icons) and we also fixed the pixelated rounded corners of the search field I also changed Main to light + dark over several days and my choice stuck. The main page relies on cookies to save the theme, the forums saves it to your account (not cookie preference). Fleet Command 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
