ah much better could you squish them all together a bit, don't want to wear out my scroller, and maybe give more room to 'last post'

and put
Politics and Current News as the second box (vertically)

Yes, I think the order is important. Pol&news should be up higher.

Squishing is a bit tricky though.

Anyone like the new NavBar ?

I love the new NavBar and have been admiring it happily.

Thanks Auditor, EvotingMachine, lostexpection and all for making this site so fabulous over the last few days.

Aargh! Pressure!

I made a start, but it kept changing, so put it on hold until it had settled down. Would this be a good time for me to look again?

The blogging bit is coming along very nicely. Could the MN bloggers link be in bold, or otherwise made more prominent?

This is the current top level headings.

Welcome

Politics and Current News

Vibes and Scribes

Religion Philosophy Law

Fóram na Gaeilge

History

Economy, Business and Finance

Machine Nation

System Sandbox


Do those headings cover all possible subjects ?

If I wanted to start a thread about ...say photography..where would I go?

vibes and scribes, I'd say.

Suggestions:

Welcome - hellos and rules and the Decontamination Chamber

Politics and Current Affairs - This is broader

Vibes and Scribes - Culture and Arts (Could History go in here?)

Religion Philosophy Law + Society (Mores?)

Fóram na Gaeilge Irish Language Only fora ?

History - Maybe in Vibes and Scribes?

Economy, Business and Finance

Machine Nation - Charter - Places - Annals of the Machine Nation

System Sandbox - Technical stuff - Machine - Editorial Team Conference Suite?

Second try at suggestions:

Welcome - hellos and rules and the Decontamination Chamber - Places - Chat - Humour - Annals of the Machine Nation

Politics and Current Affairs - This is broader

Vibes and Scribes - Culture and Arts (Could History go in here?)

Religion Philosophy Law + Society (Mores?)

Fóram na Gaeilge Irish Language Only forum ?

History - Maybe in Vibes and Scribes?

Economy, Business and Finance

Machine Nation: Science, Technology and Environment

Food and Agriculture
Energy
Planning and Infrastructure
Science and Technology
State Bodies - this should go in Politics and Current Affairs
The Natural World - Environment
Transport and Communications

System Sandbox - Technical stuff - Machine - Editorial Team Conference Suite? - Holding Pen.

Suggestions:

Welcome - hellos and rules and the Decontamination Chamber

Politics and Current Affairs - This is broader

Vibes and Scribes - Culture and Arts (Could History go in here?)
Could we call it Vibes, Scribes and Brushstrokes? to broaden the category ?

Religion Philosophy Law + Society (Mores?)
Broader name maybe like above?


Fóram na Gaeilge Irish Language Only fora ?
I don't know about this one. I tend to agree with BuachaillBeo that Gaeilge should not be ringfenced, rather allowed to permeate throughout, and my Irish is shite too.

History - Maybe in Vibes and Scribes?
I think history is OK as a category, but the forums need to be sorted out
Currently we have a History forum, with a sub history forum (lots of threads), the on this day forum and the reilig forum.
I would prefer to see a History Category and one level of sub forums, e.g.
Irish History
World History
Ancient history
On this day
An Reilig
..
or something

Economy, Business and Finance

Right. Who broke it ?

Our lovely navbar

Mookie Baylock me, sorry, gulp

Is it possible to restore it?

It's half back.

It's so true for Joni Mitchell - you don't know what you've got till it's gone (they paved paradise and put up a parking lot)

It's nearly all back now - thanks. That was quick by the way. Did you keep a copy of it somewhere as backup?

That should be it now. The feckers.

The images are on Silverpond, not here.

All the links to the images got defaulted.

How did those shaggers do it? The defaults must have got applied again when I switched on the old skin...

oops

When did you switch skin?

About 5 minutes before they attacked - about 6 o'clock - maybe 7 ?

When are you off to NY?

Monday.

I'm off to Paree next weekend myself to meet a German chick. Do you think the bitsh'll ask me to marry her? Does the Pope sleep in a single bed? I'm a genetic cul-de-sac I tell you and I'm way off topic.

You'll bring back all your NY receipts now, y'hear?
