PBA Changes Website Look
« on: October 16, 2005, 11:28:39 PM »
http://pba.com/ About time!  Always good to see a new look on a website.  Like this one could use a face lift big time.  Like to see the blue screen again.

I get a bunch of "drop-down" white on black menus, that block out parts of the page. I'm on a Mac. Using IE 5.0, Firefix, and Safari as browsers. Is it a Mac "thing".

It must be.  I use Camino and it's messed up there too.  The old site may have been, uhh, old, but it at least worked.

I've got a question for you since you, too, are a Mac user.  When I come to this site in Safari, I get this weird underlining text thing when I move the mouse to different sections of the screen.  Sometimes the text will shrink a little when I move around.  That especially happens when reading the forums, but the underlining thing happens on the front page as well.  Does that happen to you, too?

And it goes beyond Mac browsers.  Mozilla 1.7 1 on Solaris has a similar problem.  In this case, the "drop-down" menus are always in the right place (rather than all stacked on the left) but they're also always dropped.  You can't read some of the menus real well since they overlap, but it also blocks the part of the site underneath the menus.

The new website sucks.  Did they assume that everyone in the world uses Windows or what?  I haven't heard about, say Firefox on Windows being a problem, but maybe no one uses that either.

In their nearly inexcusable defense, I will say that most of the browsers that Duke and I mentioned are, at some point, based on Mozilla code.  Safari uses KHTML, which is distinct from Mozilla.  Still, a serious and stupid oversight by the PBA's web design team.

It sucks using Netscape also.

I bet the webmaster is only trained in IE, Internet Explorer. It works fine there.

Make sure you qualify that with "on Windows" as Duke mentioned problems with IE on OS X.  Talk about lame design.  It worked before, and it was a Windows-based, ASP/VBScript page then too.

What happened to the message boards?  I see a heading for them, but nothing happens when I click on it.

Shelley,
That's why I started using Firefox. I had the same problem with Safari.
I only use Safari to print postage thru Paypal...It's the only browser that works there.

Worked for me when I clicked on it, to check Midwest Regional forum.

I've had the same problem on a few non-bowling sites (the stacked drop-downs)...
I thought the PBA site was fine, the way it was.

Everything works for me using IE 5.5 and Firefox.  

Mario/Rags if I go to the Midwest forum which is my area and the one I post/read most....I can get back into all forums thru the back door.  Haven't figured out how to go thru the front door.  


People hate change.

I see they fixed the web site drop-downs.
I wonder if they read the email I sent them?
