Still Have Major Site Problems

Ira · 11-24-2010, 05:36 PM

Wednesday evening, 7:30PM eastern time, and none of the links in the left-hand list work for me at all in Firefox or Safari on the Mac.

I was able to get to this forum by simply adding /forums to the main URL.

Adam--enjoy your turkey. The world will survive anyway.

I can't imagine the aggravation you've been going through.

Not sure what the issue is at your end Ira, but since going back online a couple of days ago the forum has worked as expected for me using Safari on Mac and Internet Explorer 8 on PC.
By the left hand list, do you mean the drop down toolbar menus or the Pentax forum folder and subfolder links?

It's just a list of links on the left-hand of the page, white type knocked out of black. Not a pull-down or anything.

Worked fine earlier today, not now, and based on the problems they've been having here, I really doubt it's just a my end thing.

Edit: 1 minute later.

Now the links work.

Is the homepage navbar rendering strangely for you in IE? I just added an announcement div to the upper-right. I can't test it using IE, but it looks kosher in firefox and konqueror, and the html is valid.

It renders and functions perfectly with my setup. (i'm using the latest version of firefox)

Adam · 11-24-2010, 06:13 PM

I meant IE. Thanks for checking in FF, though!

I tested it in IE Adam and it navigates correctly. The only thing I noticed is that the floater for the K-5 review is anchored to the upper left of the browser window and obscures the forum logo.

That appears to be resolution thing, on my 28" LCD I don't have any problems at full screen but I get the same thing if I scale down my browser window.

My 24" is no slouch... LOL still something that may need looking at.

We all like to brag, and maybe exaggerate a little, but come-on!

OT: I have to remind myself when i'm looking at images at 100% on my LCD that I will see things that are unlikely to be seen on a print smaller than the 28" LCD I'm viewing it on. Recently, I have been looking at 30" monitors in preparation of my purchase of a 645D.

Major problems just now again via Safari:

All links in the left-hand menu bring you to database error pages.

Now it's okay, but not before.

Ira · 12-01-2010, 04:43 PM

It went bad again...couldn't get to anything...switched to Firefox which couldn't even find the main URL...went back to Safari...and now it seems to be working again.
