We got a new forum skin some weeks ago, I have tried getting used to it.
The general style is okay I think, but there are two things that bugs me.
1. The header band keeps following when I scroll down, it eats a large amount of pixels. So much space wasted on the page. I do not have the luxury of using 4k resolution on a 60 inch screen, so this is a problem to me. I use a laptop on 1600 x 900. I want the header band (or top bar it's called maybe) to stay on the top, when I'm done on the page I'm reading and want to navigate elsewhere, I can hit the Home key and get to the top of the page instantly. I don't need that thing following me as I scroll down. Some pages that have a fat top bar are auto hiding it when you scroll down, and you get it back if you scroll up a little. But the one we have here don't do that. It keeps eating window space no matter what.
2. Two big arrows in the botom right corner. They are handy perhaps? But they get in the way too, they are big. Maybe I'm stupid and don't see how great they are. Earlier we had an arrow up at the bottom of the page, wasn't that OK? A PC keyboard - even those on laptops - have a HOME and END key, usually beside the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys. Have people forgot how to use the keyboard?
I have tried to use Adblock to hide the up/down keys, but they keep coming back. :lol:
And for the top bar I only need to block the script that makes it follow the page, but I haven't figured out which script that is. Blocking all scripts does more harm than good for my user experience so that's not an option. Using Adblock on the topbar removes it completely and that's not what I want either.
I don't know if @Steve will change some of this, maybe everyone else thinks this is perfect. But some help for a work-around on my end are very welcome.
