Fishy site thoughts please

[KIPAX]

Time for a bit of a change.. Can you please have a look and test. Removing the side menu and replacing with a drop down. That gives us more space for the news items. more pics or better layour. Also some of the pages we had to drop adverts as we needed the width like on fixtures.. but not now ...


Tested on IE 6 and 7 and Firefox... It probably falls over wiht opera I dunno.. Appricate TM or whoever trying with a mac..

Worked well for me KIPAX..loved the (for lack of techno mumbo jumbo) the revolving pictures.However,when finished there,I couldn't get back to website!!! ???
One unasscotiated question,,why are there so many excess chairs about?

[Tin Monkey]

Just given it a quick go with Safari and Firefox on the Mac and it all seems to work ok. Only tried the drop-down menus and a few links from there, but everything seemed fine.

[KIPAX]

Cheers guys...

Would you believe I just went on it prior to this site to check the latest news and didn't notice it

Just checked it on Firefox and Opera and both seem to be OK

My league tables are a lot bigger now

Cheers K .... and Kiwi thanks.. The virtual tour thing should have opend in a new window leaving the MB link and fishy site there.. which it now does... also the menu link to messageboard should ahve had the popup saying its going to external non official MB and it does now so all sorted ... ta

Not your department, Tony, but the 'visiting fans' page contains the following:
'The three pubs closest to the ground are The Grey Horse, (5 mins walk away) and The Greyhound (5 Mins walk away)'.

The site looks much better with the changes.

I think that page need re writing ... too many people allowed to edit it.. they take bits out not checking to se eif it impacts on others.. plus some comments are old so will get julie to give it a shake up I do the programming.. Julie does the content (that regulars dont do)

Just a quick observation......

I went on the "sponsorship" page, & noticed that there isn't a link back to the home page.

In fact there doesn't seem to be one on any page.

the latest news link in scroll down menu acts as a return to the "home page"

Looks good kipax

Clicking top of every menu item. or clicking on the big pick at top of page or selecting latest news..all will take you back.. but none obvious... So there probably should be a more obvious button... i will get that sorted... thanks

The Nav bar its self looked better beforehand - and if you decide to keep it as it is now I would swap the rollover colours of the bar... at the moment it doesn't match the rest of the site until it is rolled over... it should be the otherway around so the majority fits in and the selected one is brighter.

You may also want to align the store sponsers pictures etc to the left as it is no longer centered.

I am not a big fan of it myself.. But julie worked very hard on the menu. getting one thats cross browser as well as backward compat so I put it in... Thats why I started the thread.. I like the side menu..it makes the site look busier..But the top menu has other advantages and will be liked by other people.

But we have had the same site for a couple of years... great looking , works well... but same same same.. had to try a change eh?

I prefer the side menu... maybe a vote?
