Re: Team 3322's website

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."

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

Re: Team 3322's 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. :\

Re: Team 3322's website

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!
