New layout - nice but.....

[Maureen]

We've heard your feedback loud and clear! We have released a non-sticky header for the forums and are working quickly to release the same for the community. We are still working on some of the bugs reported, as well as processing the feedback received. Please stay tuned for further updates.

Thank you,

Maureen Thormann

UPDATE

This issue is now fixed:

- Clicking on the new post link from the board view will scroll you to the bottom of the page (example)

Thanks,

Thank you! Allowing the header to scroll is a big improvement. A pity it wasn't discovered before it was released, perhaps no one actually used a small screen while testing?

Now... can you do the same for the main NI site? Strangely, the header moves with the scroll in portrait mode on my tablet, but not in landscape.

You're right.  Wider window causes the border to disappear on the left.  It happens instantly upon dragging the right border of the windown in or out.

I noticed that the lines that have myi username  Logout My Settings Help,   and NI Discussion Forums :   Special Interest Boards:     bread crumbs jump to a smaller font, and they and the other lines around it jump up when it jumps to the left.

Thanks for fixing the Issue with wide screen monitors and the brower maximised.  It is alot easier to read now.

Increase your resolution and everything changes.  It seems to be around 1800 pixels wide where it changes.

Hi guys,

We released a change this morning that should have resolved the formatting issues seen in wide browser windows.

Please let us know if you still see issues related to this!

Thanks,

[RavensFan]

That does look better.

I do see one artifact still.  When the window is less than 1800 pixels wide, the margin is a bit wider than it is when the window is more than 1800 wide (at least that is no longer zero width.)  So stretching or shrinking the window shows a jump in the margin size.  It doesn't make sense that the smaller window would have the wider margin.

Just something I noticed and is not a problem that I'm bothers me.

And when the window is shrunk below a specific width, there is no text wrapping (tested in Safari):

This is probably because the lithium forum and the NI site don't really work well together. (oil&water, square peg&round hole, etc.).

If you go to e.g. the NI homepage, it smoothly transtions to a more mobile looking web site (simplified header, etc) once you go below a certain width. The Litium part never scaled that well in the past...

The forum has it's own mobile site, but is pretty nonfunctional. (No way to edit submitted posts, no menu link to your own profile page (instead we need to find one of the old posts and click on the name), etc.).

Try to download a drive this morning.  The header of the web page still takes ~25% of my screen.
