Last Header Change Causing Problem

[CraigH]

This morning I noted the "Gateway To Airguns" has been changed.   And that is causing a problem.

If I have the browser set to "100%" (so I can read the forum), the "Show unread posts since last visit." link does not function.   It does not "underline" when the cursor is over it and does not response.   When the browser is set to 80% the link functions.   But as I am visually impaired I need the full size setting.

Windows 10
Google Chrome

Same with Edge

Additional:

The "Show new replies to your posts." does work at 100%.

And a computer restart had no effect.

I noticed that also. Plus the new header is huge and has a lot of empty space between it and where the posts start. The other thing I notices is the links to the new post and previous posts is now being over laid by part of that huge header.   That may be part of the problem with the link not working, not sure though, I’m by no means an IT guy! 

It does look and work correctly on my phone, I’m only having the issue on my laptop.

Using Windows 7 Professional and Firefox I've noticed no issues yet.  The header is big but looks really nice.

No change as of 1530 MDT - still as initially reported above.

Other blog using the same basic blog software functioning properly.

Craig...The 'show new posts since last visit' link works if you hover the pointer over the first 2 words. The rest of the line is dead. I mentioned this in another thread. Should be an easy fix for the software guy.

[CraigH]

I will have to report that the entire line is dead.

I even tried things like "ctrl", "alt", and "shift" along with mouse click.

EDIT:    I found something I can work with - it will work at 110% - just not 100%.

[avator]

That could be... I'm at home now on my laptop which is set to 133%. The whole line works here.

[CraigH]

Well, somebody did something - but it's worse.     

Now neither 100% nor 110% work.    At 90% or lower and 125% or higher the link works.   

Something in that new header is overwriting or dominating the link enabling code.

There are some forum changes taking place at the moment...perhaps give it a couple of days to see if things get back to functioning more to your liking when things settle out.

Using Firefox. Everything works as before. All words on "Show unread posts since last reply" will underline and link, as will "Show new replies".

My only gripe is that those words blend in too much (colorwise) with the background pic colors. Need better contrast and not necessarily red.

Here's a screen shot to illustrate.




And yeah, a LOT of wasted area in that header.

I personally do not like it at all.

Mobile device displays present webpages very differently from computer displays.    I do not even attempt to use small mobile devices.

EDIT:

It is this simple:   Someone decide to change the forum header, and now things work differently (read incorrectly), and there is little concern to correct the situation.

[lizzie]

Craig.....I have referred your concerns on to someone who (I am assuming) has the capability of correcting them, or at least knowing what the problem is  but I am not positive it's a problem on only this end, specifically. I assure you that nobody is purposely trying to make this difficult for you.

Lizzie, switch from "mobile" to "PC" view. Looks and works the same as my laptop.

[lizzie]

Thanks Ken! Mine isn't bothering me either way. I am not *that* choosy about how the page looks, as long as I can navigate around.

[CraigH]

Today's changes corrected the text zoom level issues previously reported - 100% and 110% zoom can access the "Show unread posts since last visit." link.

I use Safari, other than "missing my Avatar when I Log In" to make sure I did it right, it works ok.

Both of the Quick View clicks at the to of the page still work fine also.

The Logo itself is a little plainer than the last, but as I said in another Thread, "It what's inside that counts" !
That goes for so many thing now-a-days !

I only use my mobile device.  I cannot see the two lines new posts and replies to your posts.  That is how I used the site.  Any updates on that issue?

[WhatUPSbox?]

Using Chrome or Edge on a desktop, I can't see new post or replies to your posts lines either
