Steve,

That doesn't sound right. What browser are you using?

Paul,

Steve is probably referring the the F16 Rules Summary link which doesn't work correctly. Try it, you'll see.

It's just a glitch that no doubt will get ironed out. As far as I can see the other links are OK.

It is a direct result of having the menubar on the side; I think we should redesign this feature. I've noticed several mishaps with this setup. Pictures not fully loading because the frame next to the buttonlisting is to narrow and I'm expecting several PDF files of normal width that will all be "dropped below visual bottom of page" as a result.

Windown XP, Windows 2000< MacOS. Explorer, firefox and MAC internet browser.

It is not a glitch, it is a direct result of how the page layout is defined. Sorry.

Another example : Picture gallery were you click to see the picture in its normal (orginal) size.

The only problem I see is that the box for the main content of the page is a bit wider than than the header. This is how it looks on my browser:

Is this what you're seeing? This doesn't sound like the issue that Steve is describing. If it's a different issue, please send me a screenshot of how it looks on your browser.

IE is displaying it below the menu, because the image overruns the template size. FireFox doesn't care and displays it out to the side, so it does not look too bad. Paul and I will come up with a solution.

The same is happening with pictures within other content sections (i.e. texel sail pictures in the box rule definition, pictures in the boat sections). I removed the pictures in these sections temporarily. I'll make sure this gets cleaned up, as well.

Wouter - Please PM me the original authors of the rules, definitions and other pertinent sections. I would like to list them as the authors (not me). No hurry, just thought I'd look better to have the authors represented.

Firefox on the mac I tried did care and does the same as IE.

Sorry.

Class rules : Myself and Phill Brander, with especially recognized final refinements by Mark Thomson.

Most other articles are by me.

In principle all the correct authors are listed in the original pages on the old website. When not specified then it is me.

Ok, I can`t post a screenshot of what I WAS seeing, because it works this morning !
Now I get what John Alani posted, and it all makes sense. Before that I got a lot of white next to the menu, and if I wanted to open an item on the menu, it opened below the bottom of the web-page. If you weren`t curious enough to scroll down, you`d think nothing loaded. But it`s all good now. I don`t know if you guys fixed the problem, or if I was just having a Microsoft day yesterday.

I had a fiddle with it yesterday, and it should now be less broken, but it's certainly not perfect.

If you look at large pictures in the gallery, you'll probably find them being cropped in IE.

I'll be doing some more work on this.

Hi Tom, Paul,

The website is certainly starting to look the part. You're doing a great job!

Quick request/query: Is there any way of starting a slideshow of the images in the gallery pages? Even an album at a time? Ideally it would be nice to be able to choose to slideshow several/all/one album or an event etc.

Is this function available in Joomla! ?

You can do it, but not using the standard interface. The thing you see on the website is actually just a front end to the underlying gallery software, which you can access directly at http://f16.beasts.org/gallery2/ . Gallery2 has a slideshow option. I'll see if there's anyway to make it available through Joomla.
