We recently changed the width of the forums navigation bar (navbar), which is the gray horizontal bar underneath the main Psych Central menu.

However, you may not see the change until you clear your cache or restart your web browser, because your web browser is saving a copy of the old style sheet which has the incorrect width in it.

Clear your web browser's cache, or often times, you can just restart your web browser and it'll pick up the new style sheet the next time you visit the forums.

Best,
DocJohn

I must be seeing the new version of the navbar because it is wider than the old one was.

The formatting works OK when I'm working in a maximized browser window or when the "Attention: Live Chat Happening Now!" message is being displayed. I usually keep a 1/2- or 3/4-inch margin of desktop around my window, though, where I can access utilities like Notepad and folders like My Documents. With my browser window at that size, here's what happens:

-- The "Community" button in the brown bar gets pushed to the far left of a new line. No problem so far; it's been like that for as long as I can remember.

-- the "My Profile" button also gets pushed to a new line and begins just to the right of "Community".

-- The box with the post title and location ("Forums at Psych Central > General > Community Feedback & Technical Support...") gets pushed over so that it begins just to the right of "My Profile".

-- The "Welcome, Fool Zero" box gets pushed halfway beyond the window so that I no longer see how many notifications I have until I scroll sideways. Since I first noticed this (last night, I think), I've learned the difference between "Private Messa|ges: Unread 0" and "Your Notifica|tions: 2" but I do have to remember to look.

If Your Forums Navbar is Out of Whack

However, when the "Attention: Live Chat Happening Now!" message is being displayed it apparently introduces a linebreak. The "My Profile" button is still over at the left but it's no longer pushing the box with "Forums at Psych Central > General..." to the right. The "Welcome, Fool Zero" box ends up completely within my browser window and I see my notifications (if any) in full.

Would it be possible to insert that linebreak even when the "Attention: Live Chat..." message isn't being displayed?

Thanks,
FZ

We design our site to fit into an 800x600 screen minimum. So yes, if you have that sized screen and don't have your browser maximized, you're going to see things that don't quite look right. Sorry about that.

It all fits again! Looks like you shortened at least one of the button titles. Thanks, DocJohn!
