I'm new & Hexus sucks.

**opiate** · 20-12-2005, 01:32 AM

Ok not quite.
It only sucks a little.

When something like this happens and I can't read your lovely articles:

I'm using IE 6.0 (If I had a choice, I'd use Firefox. Honestly.)
Note that the main text of the article is covered by the stuff on the right.
"Minimising" them doesn't help quite enough.
Screen res = 1152x864, IE running maximised.

Any ideas?

Why don't you have a choice?

**opiate** · 20-12-2005, 01:42 AM

I'm at work presently.
I use Firefox at home, just can't use it here.

I get dodgy stuff like that all the time...

And i'm on FF :<

Oh lovely. And there I was thinking Firefox was the bees knees and Hexus was merely pushing us in the right direction.

Firefox is the bees knees. make no mistake about it... Unlike that M$ POS it actually works by industry standards, apart from anything else.

Personally, though, I get a lot of problems with the Hexus site. Both the reviews etc.. and the boards :/

**opiate** · 20-12-2005, 02:04 AM

Actually, just looking at the article again, I believe the problem is actually one of the flash ads they have on it. It gets placed on the right, and because it's so wide, it pushes the border across into the text. =/

See picture for example...

**hoodmeister** · 20-12-2005, 02:12 AM

:/

General (unrelated) tip :

Hit ALT & Print screen to get a screengrab of just the active window ~ You wouldn't have to tit about with cropping, then

**opiate** · 20-12-2005, 02:16 AM

Haha.... nifty. I'll keep that in mind.
However - I didn't tit about with cropping, I just have my start bar hide by default.
That screen grab is IE maximised, with nothing else on-screen.

**hoodmeister** · 20-12-2005, 02:18 AM

Ah, fair enough ~ The bottom just looks a little cropped to me

Hopefully the ad will auto-change soon :s

**chicken** · 20-12-2005, 01:01 PM

I went to the address in the screenshot just now and that ad's not there, it looks fine now.

An example of one of the many odd things I get on Hexus :

**DavidM** · 20-12-2005, 02:08 PM

Only problem I have is with Firefox crashing on the home page occasionally....

DR · 20-12-2005, 02:10 PM

Weird, I dont have any of these problems

DR · 20-12-2005, 02:14 PM

Can people tell me if they can still see it?
