Well done Admin on the new layout of the US forum index page. It now follows the look of the German site which I frequent. All layed out instead of bunched up in folders. Cool

Hi Wyatt,

I gotta say, I didn’t have much to do with the process, other than brainstorming with Alan. Alan diagnosed the problem, and then set out to fix it. He is the tech master of this outfit.

The original intent was to reduce the increasing amount of scrolling. But, after a while, the issues started to crop up. There is a HUGE amount of data on this creaky old platform, and we are trying to nurse it along.

Best,

Mark

While I was typing my post Gandale made his post. So, Gandale, well done Sir! A marked improvement. Thank you.

Just a side note, if the forum homepage is completely expanded, or rather lengthy, just hit the 'End' key on your keyboard and you'll be at the bottom of the page. That's what I do when I go to the German chapter of the forum.

Thanks for that Wyatt, very much appreciated.....Cool Cool

I agree by hitting the 'End' key you would end up at the bottom of the page however, if the forum is completely expanded and you wanted to get to somewhere in the middle it would still be a lengthy scroll from either the top or the bottom. The method I suggest just alleviates the lengthy scrolling altogether.....Cool Cool

Thanks again...

Alan
