My wheel button will move from side to side, like a tactile tilting action, to scroll horizontally, so I don't have to move the pointer to the scroll bar. Don't they all do that?

Looking good!

You guy's did a hell of a good job! the new site look's great, lot's of new forum topics. After doing a little playing with settings on the pc and my browser it look's and work's great. As for you guy's that are *****in about having to scroll forever, close the tabs on the topics you don't use or like.
Thank's again Lindsay and the RR Staff :)

In regards to the "New Posts" button. Is there a way we can get a New Posts (All Forums), New Posts (Exclude Tavern), New Posts (Tavern Only) type of an option? Essentially if the New Posts button worked like the other menu items with drop downs, one could use the button for default functionality, then the drop down for the other options. Some times I don't want to wade through all the forums, and just want to zero in on the radio related topics, other times I may want to expand my browsing and dig into the tavern. Multiple options may help for folks that are looking to better focus their efforts.

Last I checked there were no horizontal tabs to close. But that will work nicely for the vertical scrolling into oblivion, but that's not the issue I was referring to. :wink:

The problem, from what I can tell not looking at the code, is the menu bars (2 of them) near the top of the page. In order for the page to auto-adjust for different screen/browser widths, those tool bars need to be able to adjust the spacing between the menu items. I believe there's a switch in the settings for that.

I also can't middle click on the menu bar links (to open in a new tab) unless I lock out scripts form the site.

I'm using FF 3 and IE 6 on XP.

It looks good, it's just not very functional now. I've all but quit coming here because of it.
This seems to be a complaint by a lot of people that I just don't understand. Now maybe I just have a crazy mouse, but if I center click anywhere on my screen entire screen changes into a series of windows that contain whatever is in my task bar.

Okay that said, the right click ability is still there folks. The majority of the menu items up at the top of the screen are drop-downs (all but <Home> and <Submit Info>); if you left click on them, you can right click on any of the dropped down items and open in a new tab (or window). This works for me on both FF and IE7 with XP as an OS. If you left click on <Home> or <Submit Info>, well that is where you go because there is no drop-down.

My God , there is absolutely nothing to complain about.:eek:

The menu selection here for the forums puts Applebee's to shame!:D

Thanks to LB and Wayne for the progressive and aesthetic changes.:cool:

Bravo:)
