Error on NewburyToday's forum. Options

[Andy Capp]

It's probably "Admin/N3wb3ry" or something.
But again with the literalisms and completely miss the actual point. Someone saying "oh, surely it's technically not that hard to fix it" okay then, why don't you fix it? Or could you even?

It took me 4 hours to make a box on our guest wireless portal thing sit in the middle of the page automatically based upon screen resolution.

Four hours?!?!

I'm hoping this isn't what you do for a living.

It's not

I had never touched HTML before I did that. Metaphorically speaking. You can't really touch HTML unless you print the webpage which is not good for the environment.

Centering and such is better done in the style sheet than directly in the HTML really.

I'm fed up with this Newbury Today web site, no weather no poll, font is terrible,pages keep jumping about. No time for it anymore, i'm going over to Newbury sound !

[Guest_xjay1337_*]

Cheers Si, you are right. I learnt it in the end after copious amounts of googling. To be honest I still never got it perfect but it was better than nothing.
It was fun but not something I would like to do. I made a website once. On geocities when it was very easy and nice. They changed it now, me no likey.

Close the door, wouldn't want a breeze
Newbury Sound is probably the best of the "local" stations. BBC Berkshire is literally just old ladies moaning about daffodils, Heart FM has those annoying presenters that go right we've got some hits from Lady Gaga on the way..." and then do that really annoying thing where you grit your teeth, press your tongue up against the back of your teeth and breathe in...
And they actually do play the same old crap every day. Some Adele, Katy Perry, The Wanted, and Take That (I said as I kicked Gary Barlow in the ballbag)

They are completely against rap as well...they cut out Snoop Doggs bit in "California Girls" as well, and when was the last time you heard an Indie band, or some hip hop, played on Heart? It's a middle of the road radio station for people who drive in the middle lane on motorways.

The only good show on Heart is Club Classics.

If it's not that difficult why don't you fix it for them.

Actually there is something on this forum that is more irritating than the fault highlighted in the OP.

Oh and i forgot to say, the time is alway's an hour fast.

No it's not. It's a problem with the widget they chose for the clock so you can't tell what hour it's actually pointing at.

If you download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome, and install Adblock the problem (the clock and the page jump that panel causes) goes away, although that's treating the symptoms rather than the disease (which really needs to be cured).

Despite the lack of numerals on the clock I can easily tell that it is an hour fast.

I have Firefox but still the clock problem is there.

Did you install the Adblock Plus add-on? That's what gets rid of the clock.

[Guest_xjay1337_*]

Along with every other pop up. I had Adblock and NoScript and it restricted my browsing so severely I got rid of it. You have to bleedin' well "allow" on every single site you use. And some sites have multiple scripts so you have to allow each one.
Great if you are a big corporate company who want to maximise security, for the home user (even one who is technically minded), it's like drowning in wall paper paste.

[JeffG]

Why start talking about Noscript which is something else? Adblock doesn't interfere with your browsing.

Edit: at 09:00 the little hand is definitely pointing to where the 9 would be. As someone else said, it jumps rather than moving progressively, so it gives the illusion of being an hour fast at certain times. It's definitely the choice of clock widget that's the problem, but that's insignificant compared with the screen jumping.

[Guest_xjay1337_*]

I know. Normally though people run them together. Apparently it's like Fish and Chips. Fish is nice except it's from fish so it's always bony
Although if you use forums I'd not recommend using AdBlock plus as it messes up with the boards eg when using smilies.

No it doesn't. Where do you get your odd ideas from?

Meanwhile; all one needs to do is read the clock like a digital one. Look at the little hand, say 5, then count the progress of the big hand. e.g. the big hand pointing to the 8 means 40 minutes past. Therefore, 5:40.

Just have a look down the bottom right of your screen and the time is shown there whatever site you are looking at.
What a lot of fuss, how do you manage to work out the time if you don't have the newburytoday forum up.

The point people are making is that the clock is of a poor quality anyway, so why have it.
