O.o Canary, huh? Odd as it works in the stable version of Chrome and is done using a z-index... you sure this isn't an issue with Canary itself? I will look into it and try to fix it. Thanks for the bug report either way, and thanks for the compliments. :)

And I feel I must apologize for the small width on your large monitor. ;) I don't have a monitor large enough to know... how often do you come across fixed-width small layouts? Again, I wasn't a part of the initial CSS process, so I didn't have a lot of control over that, but I <3 fluid layouts.

It's not an uncommon situation, honestly. It feels like almost every site is formatted like that- though it does make it easier to throw up two windows at once ;)
Seriously, though, Chiefdelphi does it, Google Plus does it, Facebook does to a degree, and a lot of other blogs. Not a problem.

And yeah, I use Canary... generally it doesn't cause formatting errors for me, though. Just crashes more often, and uses more CPU. And remember, what is Canary today is chrome standard in 2 months or so...

Haha, fair enough. I just prefer fluid layouts. :)

Yeah, I know, I used to run Canary. Although "Canaray today is Chrome standard in 2 months or so" is more of "A fixed out-of-beta Canary today." :P

Do you mind telling me what you see on this website?

Also, can you try our site again? I made a change, but I can't test as my good laptop died, and I'm having to use this temporary one... which can't run Chrome. -_-

Still has the "hiding behind image and text" problem, unfortunately...

Indeed. I've been unable to find the cause of the Canary bug. It uses z-index to ensure the menus stay on top, and I have no idea why it would be falling behind. I even did some test cases and it worked fine. Very odd, and I'm still looking for a solution.

Thanks for the tip on the broken page. Apparently we removed last names from the site recently due to liability reasons(?) and so some links got broken. We even have a broken link checker, so I'm not sure how that slipped through.

Thank you very much. :)

EDIT - And in fact, the link is not broken. You may have tried accessing the site while we were updating, or we fixed the broken link already. :) If you still see the problem, a hard refresh should fix it.

Link still shows as broken. This is ie8 on xp- fairly standard!
However, your team site works with this browser, and chrome portable. So I guess that is just canary chrome's fault!

Sorry, thought you were referring to a different page. I tested the test.html in Canary and then deleted it without letting you know -- my apologies!

Aye, the menu links issue only shows up in Canary, and I'm still not quite sure what's going on with it. :\

Ah, that's not a problem. I have far more time than I know what to do with at school, anyways.... Two online classes, both of which take about three weeks a semester (of dedicated work, though), and a severely locked down internet connection = not much to do

Nice custom theme, by the way!
