Squeaky [userpic]
New Schemes on the testing server

Hey all. I have the new siteschemes ready for testing and debugging on the development server. You can go to http://ij.squeak.net/manage/siteopts.bml and check them out. That site is running the latest version of the site code which is very buggy so I don't need bug reports.

Right now the new schemes introduce two problems that I am aware of. the /customize/ page is broken and the /manage/profile/ page is broken. Its the ad skyscraper on the left that is causing the problem.

If you can come up with a fix for that it would be great. So go ahead and start testing.

Edit: I fixed the problem with the ads on /customize/ and /manage/ by removing the tall ad strip from those pages. But I am still having an issue with /manage/ as the content is below the menu instead of next to it.

Edit #2: I added another scheme Dramatic (sidebar) and renamed Dramatic to Dramatic (dropdown). Personally Dramatic (Sidebar) is my favorite so far.

Comments

On dramatic, the agree to the TOS before logging in is weird. It has the page loaded in two different frames - one above the main bar, and the second where it should be. Filling out either of those two or filling out both still isn't letting me log in to fully access and test the rest of the site.

Same with worksafe. I'll try logging in via another site scheme and see if I can get in.

Seems to be the same for every page then. Don't suppose I can get that account working so I can test the rest, right? poser is the old test account I use.

Id say just sign up a new account for testing right now. The site code is really buggy. Just want to work out the schemes quickly

Alright, I'll sign up and get to work.

Dramatic Sidebar Issues:
* Large amount of space between the text and the fill out profile page for here.
* Large amount of space between the text and the settings here.
* Invite a friend page seems a little wonky.
* Update page seems squished. Works next to the subject line are crossing over each other and you have to scroll with a fairly high resolution due to the ad. The posting options are off the gray box as well.
* Support requests are cut off with ads - Example.
* Can't make a new support request to see how the pages look, not sure if you have that intentional or not but you may want to test to see how it looks.
* Search by location doesn't load - once again, unsure if that's intentional or not.
* Upload a new user pic box seems huge for the smaller page. When you do upload a picture, the keywords/comments go to the bottom of the page with the picture, but the save settings is at the top to the right of the box.

That whole update page is really messed up so ignore that for now.

I removed the sidebar ads from support.

Can someone suggest changes to the CSS to fix the rest of the issues?

I can test some things when I am at home if no one else offers assistance. Currently, I'm stuck at work and unable to pick apart code here Mostly because my soul has been sucked away...
