Updated Ledge Issues...

[Nixxxed]

I have a 15" monitor -- like I said in the first post, I have a REALLY old computer, and the driver is so outdated that anything above 800x600 doesn't work on today's apps and web programming. I'm still trying to update IE -- stupid Microsoft .

I did a screen print and converted to it a .jpg, and it's attached. It looks like the eBay bar is scooting everything to the right now. Before the update, Christine's head would be upper left, and the eBay bar would be directly below her. Then, the thread tables would re-size to fit the screen.

But Marty, this is not really a big deal. I just posted in case this was a bug. Please don't waste time on this if you've got "real" functionality issues. I don't mind scrolling!

Unfortunately, I cannot really design the board layout to accomodate the extremely old computers but would rather design for the average or newer computers. I am likely going to experiment with setting up a field in the profile though which would give users the option to turn off the Ebay columns if they would rather not see them though. This option would be restricted, however, to the Supporting Ledgies. That way those that help us with the site can have the option to browse these forums without any advertising at all. I would make it an option though as perhaps some people enjoy being able to peruse the related auctions. This solution sounds like it would work very well for your issues too actually.

Quoting myself here... The option described above has now been implemented. Supporting Ledgies can log into their User CP, Edit Options and then Miscellaneous Options. They will see this:

Ebay Ads: Select 'Yes' if you would like the Ebay ads to appear on the front page of the Ledge as well as on the Rumours, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks Ledges. Selecting 'No' will turn them off.

For those Supporting Ledgies that select 'No', there will not be any advertisements shown on The Ledge. I did make this an option though because perhaps there are individuals who like to peruse the Ebay auctions from here.

Hey Marty --

The views are back to normal for me. I haven't been on The Ledge in a few days, but I haven't changed any of my settings, and there was no IE update for me. Just thought I'd a post a quick note to let you know.

Also - love the new profile pics - it's always nice to see who you're typing to!

I'm glad it is working for you; I've made minor layout changes to the boards. Hopefully some more people will consider becoming supporting Ledgies anyway. If enough people did, it could make a serious dent in costs of running this dedicated server. At just over 3 cents a day, I don't think it will break anyone's bank. Thanks again to those of you that have contributed; it is appreciated!!
