I looked at the Invelos site and thought "navigating to some of this is a real pain". I often try to improve my skills and keep in practice for existing skills, so I made an (arguably) enhanced menu just for kicks.

If you access this site, you have the live Invelos site with the addition of an extra navigation bar at the top.

Of use?

Note; the contact links, tech forum, and support ticket (both under support) don't work because I haven't figured out how to read more than one variable from the Invelos site. If you have the answer, please speak up - it would be very educational.

I don't get it. All you've done is duplicate the links from the top of this page with the addition of Contributions and Credit Look up which don't belong on the main forum page to begin with.

@8Ball: If you hover over the links you'll find sub menus on some of them

Looks nice. I would add the "Today's Active Topics" to the Forum pull down though.

Also may want to consider a set width since the Invelos site has a set width.

Same here. No hover/sub menus...that's why I was confused as to it's usefulness.

When I run IE 7 here at work I see the nav bar and I can access the sub menus.

But: The lower part of the site won't load:

Perhaps a Greasemonkey-Script...

works perfectly for me using Firefox... but... and nothing personal Stuart.... but I just don't care for it. Personally I prefer the way it is now.  My main complaint would be that I don't like how it pushes down the whole site... keeping a blue background for all submenu options. Now if it just dropped down the menu options over top the main site it wouldn't be nearly as bad for me.

I'll have to see if I can get it working in IE (once I get my IE working again that is). Also look at improving the width. I guess it shows that I haven't tested it on more than my setup, but it was so simple I hoped it wouldn't be necessary.

I've got to admit that the 'push-down' is not to my taste, but it's the best I've managed so far. I'm trying to avoid using Java, which makes the whole thing that much more inflexible. CSS is great, but you've got to be cunning... which is tricky when you hardly know it. And sticking to strict XHTML also limits your options. Still, those are the conditions that I imposed, so those are the condition I must meet.

Besides which, even if I just delete it once it's done, it's okay. The main purpose is the journey rather than the destination.

I'm running IE7 and have the same problem as Karsten - the menus work fine, but nothing in the main window.

IE7 problems confirmed: same issue here as Karsten. Another good reason for using FF

Seems to work fine in Firefox (2.0.0.9), and IE 6, but not IE 7
