Valiant23 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Paul and others. I like them, but the drop down interferes with anything else on the screen. I use the 'path links' to navigate through the forum, but because those links are activated by mouse 'hover' rather than click it is much more awkward. They also have a strange effect on the banner ads above the forums main page. I've got a screen shot if you need it. I think the links are very useful, but at the moment I'm not a fan.

staffy Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ To be fair valient they have been around for a long time they were just taken down temporarily. Worth finding out what everyone else thinks I guess but I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ Hi Valiant, Not sure what you are seeing, but sounds like it is a problem your end. Can you send the screenshot to info @ punters lounge dot com please?;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmphill Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ I think I know what he's on about. Its the 5 drop down links with headings of Sports News, Sports Stats, LiveScores, OddsCheckers & Placebets. When you brush your mouse over them they come down causing mayhem! Hope this helps.

Sir Puntalot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazabroad Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ Because usually its the new posts that most people go to first if looking generally rather than for a particular thing. The first thing you have to avoid is the annoying drop down. .....thats why. Agree with Valiant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ You're gonna have to send me a screenshot of what you see because "new posts" is miles away from the menu and it doesn't dropdown until you hover over it, which you wouldn't do because you're nowhere near it at "new posts".

gazabroad Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ It is miles away if you want to look at it from that point of view. Have to be honest Paul, I wouldn´t have a clue about how to send you a screenshot anyway:$ Point is when scrolling quickly to the top then going anywhere you DO get these annoying drop downs. Always just put up with them and wouldn´t have given it a thought if someone else hadn´t mentioned it. Not really that bothered but just wanted to agree that they are annoying.:\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ No worries Gaz, screenshot is done by pressing Print Screen which is usually to the right of F12 on the keyboard and then go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Paint and press Control and V at same time to paste it in, then save it as a gif below and it's done. :) Sounds like a bit of lazyitis is creeping in here. :lol You can easily go around them and believe me they are very popular, and needed for PL as we don't have any other way of showing newbies the sites they should be using. They only dropdown if you hover over them, but I've put a fair sized gap either side to avoid you needing to get too close. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ " Sounds like a bit of lazyitis is creeping in here. :lol" Too fcuking right!!:lol But, it's your own fault for having it so user-friendly in the first place. I've sent an e-mail with a cropped screenshot, Paul. If you say balls to ya, thats the way it is, then I can't really argue. I could start 50 threads saying what I like about the site, but wheres the fun in that?:notworthy;) I'm sure you'd rather have constructive observations though, lazyitis or not. I have every intention to check out the links, because they look as though they'll be really useful. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ I'm sure you'd rather have constructive observations though, lazyitis or not. Of course, it's the only way PL can move forward you lazy git. ;) I have every intention to check out the links, because they look as though they'll be really useful. Any more you want added let me know and I've replied to your email with what I see and I suspect what most do as they use IE. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel a bit of a cnut, but thanks for the e-mail and prompt response. You should take this up for a living y'know. You're quite good at it. :lol :lol :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Andy Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ They're still annoying me!:wall me too dave :wall as I use the "new posts" facility mostly, which is smack bang centre screen, so I have to go round them, but however hard I try to drag the cursor around the fookin things, I always seem to catch the corner of one and down drops the bloody menu :wall :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Andy Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: The New Links ^^^^ just an idea :tongue2 can`t you get the "dropdowns" changed to become "riseups" ? :lol then they wouldnt drop down, errr they`d rise up of course, eliminating the chance of an erroneous clinking of linkages as the cursor moves down !:ok :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
