Ok, let me know if it's not working still. If for some reason you really hate them, you can turn them off in preferences.

badass, they have borders in Mozilla. Okay, I'm going to turn them off now I don't think it's a matter of hating them, it's just ... personally, I'm used to browsing the site through the main page, I mean there's the link on every page.

Just a personal preference ... which I'll apply in a moment.

[EDIT]
Um ... could you put the links back to the forums on the front page if you have the drop downs disabled? [addsig]

Dunno if this is too late, but I got the borders to appear in Firefox AND Internet Explorer by changing:

Code:
<div id="forumContent" class="dropdown" 
style
="width:165px;height:114px">


to

Code:
<div id="forumContent" class="dropdown" 
style="width: 165px; height: 114px; background-color:black;
border: 1px solid #AA0000">


So if you're autogenerating them with PHP, it should be easy to modify.

Edit:Probably some issue with the DIV not inheriting the BODY properties by default in FFox while working in IE?

Well, then why are the links coming out the right colour? Hrm anyway I think they work for everyone now, if not upgrade your browser or turn them off!

The drop menus were my idea... intitially lep was against it, but I thought the snarkpit needed something- reminds me a lot of an old MS dos style gif website atm... [addsig]

Typical. I'm the only one who still has completely transparent menus... ah well. I've also turned them off, but is it possible to make it so that if you turn off the menus the old forum list on the front page reappears? I used to use that thing a lot, don't know if anyone else did.

Good job getting the drop down borders working in FF, looking fiiiiiiiiiine

I think you should make the forum list on the index page an option rather than auto-off WITH drop down and auto-on without. IMO, the more customisable the site the better.

Yes, I too have invisible backgrounds on my dropdown menus. However...I am in a computer lab at school, and this is not my own. Maybe they have something deactivated.... [addsig]

I'd like to see the ability to add props and textures to your profiles.

LOL....Like I'm gonna read 75 pages of site suggestions.

How about just building in the simple BB Code links, so we can click on them rather than figuring out to click on the "BBCode" link looking at it, going back....blah blah blah.

Reno, there's not much point when the forum info is available on the drop-down- I know how you feel, but I think it's something that can quickly be adjusted to And yes about the props, been too lazy to add support for that so far...

I'll also add bbcode quick links once I figure out how to get my caret code working in Firefox too, if anyone has any working links (especially where you select text and press a button, and it puts tags around it) please post them here

Seconded. Would be really nice to see some custom props cropping up on the site.

Because you have drop down menus activated. Deactivate that (which will make the menus go away, obviously) and it will put the direct links back on the front page.

By the way, Lep, thanks for making it optional [addsig]

The drop-down menu now works flawlessly for FireFox as well. As of yesterday, the text were barely legible because the menu background was translucent.

Thanks Lep. You the man.

As I said, with the drop-down menus the forum info is still available there, and it's something you can get used to, trust me
