Title: OAS webpage header
Post by: Tony G on Sep 27, 2009, 10:38:52
Just wondered where the OAS header has gone from the top of the forum page to link to the main site, as it has disappeared from my screen.
Any ideas.

Have you tried the old "scroll up" trick  :twisted:

Nope, still not there!
Is anyone else having this problem?

You can see the image, can't you?

The link used to be associated with the whole image, but someone wanted a link to the gallery as well, so the link is now using an image map. Assuming your browser understands image maps (and every graphical browser should...) then you can go to:There's a little bit of space between the two zones that doesn't link anywhere...

No, that is the problem. I don't know if it's my settings, but I don't know what settings would that just the head of the page out?

Bizarre. Usual solution when images go missing is to apply a force-reload (which often comes down to holding the shift key while clicking on reload), and seeing whether that brings them back. You should see the image (http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/Themes/oas/images/mainbanner.jpg) in this post...

Rick,

I took you're advice, but no difference. The page starts with a greeting and then the date on the same line, but no

I spotted something extraneous in the template. It's been splatted. Has your banner re-appeared?

Oh, and what browser are you using?

Cheers Rick,

That has sorted it, and it's IE7 (I think)
