Just suddenly find myself seeing this at the top:

Menu items spread all over, account "corner" missing, logo buried and unclickable...

... you're running the site on a 1280 pixel wide screen?

Anyway, Reed seems to be doing some tweaking to the site, the points / notifications are now bolded.

Works fine for me when I reduce the window size to 1280 pixels. Why would that be a problem?

And, why do we have a changelog if this stuff isn't there? Some of us have got dark stylesheet themes to maintain, ya know ;-)

But I see Cavalary is using IE11, so that's likely the culprit. :P

Ah, yeah, that's probably it.

Anyway, Neo-MobyDark is now updated for this new change, for the imaginary number of you who care. :-P

What browser and version are you using?

Cavalary (11445) on 9/10/2018 5:07 PM · Permalink · Report

IE11 (spare me the rants).

And yep, 1280x1024 resolution, monitor's 11.5 y/o, still holding :)

So guess no user menu for me anymore (and a messed up one otherwise), eh?

Hope nobody'll try to send me messages from now on then, because that definitely won't show up anywhere.

Just an I guess monthly reminder that this is still unchanged...

Hmm...used different browser with different resolutions but no problems up to now.

Have you a zoom in your browser? These features have sometimes strange side effects.

Nope, no zoom. Just people coding against IE I guess. Same as GOG which as of this recent overhaul basically doesn't work at all for me anymore, just sticking to the forums which are still the old ones.

Would be funny, the sites I have issues with are just the two gaming sites I use, both of which used to be known for a focus on old games and attracting a crowd fueled to a fair extent by nostalgia and a rejection of current trends, yet which are now coded in such a manner as to demand a very "modern" browser.

Done some testing, also with an "ancient" IE11 from 2013. With that browser mobygames is displayed weird...Yeah Microsoft and other technology is always fun...try running DOS games with Windows 95

IE does not displays the user menu for me. Though, on the same computer, everything is OK with Edge and Chrome
