Just so you know, this doesn't relate to the new bottom bar that's down below. This was a different one.
So, I FINALLY did some research into why the bottom bar disappeared. Well...GUESS WHAT!!! I figured it out. And like always, it's the host site's fault. In this case, Meebo. This always happens to me. They did the same things with their chatrooms. Which I used of course. It's like they know. When I add cool functioning thing to the site, and I completely rely on the Host site, the code makers. And when thing go wrong, I get to pay for it. Whenever a company decides to do something new...I pay for it. I need to stop relying on other people and worry about myself. That's why most of the things on the site are codes from free places, like Dynamic Drive. Where I got the menu. And that what most of my stuff is. Free things that can run on their own. However, like the menu, I have to have the special .JS and .CSS codes stored somewhere that can access them as direct links. That's where Webs comes in. There are some things that can run on their own, but mostly everything has to have an external code. I try to make sure that doesn't happen because, I have had problems with Webs too. That's where the Back Up Site comes in. That show how many codes are on Webs and how much I need them to keep running. I'll be back down to nothing. Webs is my last place that I really need. OH!! and AddThis for all the share buttons. Maybe I need to start finding other ways to have the codes. So I can be in control of everything. Because I like that. :-) I'm sad now. I loved that bottom bar. You can tell in the Site Layout Video. It was so cool. :'( Anyways, that's my rant. I'm just tired of being let down.Thursday, March 17, 2011

NEW MENU HELP AND INFORMATION
If you want even MORE information, CLICK HERE!!!
If you don't want to read, I made this new help video.
It goes over everything on this page.

OK, now here's the scoop.
After a long period of time, I finally get it to work in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 8 and back. I know it DOES NOT work in Internet Explorer 9. I have recently fixed my old computer. It has Windows Vista and IE9. I set IE9 into "Compatibly view" and it works. It's weird. The computer I have been checking before had Windows 7 with IE9 and it didn't work. And you know what... Now it does work. Just don't use Internet Explorer. It's too confusing. And here's some new news. My sister got a new computer. It has Windows 8 and IE10. And guess what, my site works! Without being in compatibility mode. But still, don't use IE. They have Chrome for Windows 8, download it.
So, that is where I am at so far. It also works in Windows XP and up. At least...I hope it does. I'm sure it does.
Moving on, here's some more news. Like I said before, I have tested it with Windows 8, but then I decided to see if it worked in other browsers. So, I downloaded Safari and Opera, just to try them out. And...well... Safari was ok. I didn't try it on a Mac, just Windows version of Safari. It worked. It was a bit slow, but it worked. My site is slow to begin with. And then there is Opera. There were worse bugs with it. The only annoying thing I noticed with that when I scrolled, my site...flickered. A twitch glitch... I think it was from the float quick links. So, basicly...don't use any of the two. If you areon a Mac, go with Safari.
Now, I'm going to tell you the things below:
-I have not tested my site and the menu in any other browsers.
-I have not tested my site and the menu in any other OS's.
Who knows, it might not work on a Mac because they're stupid. Anyways, there is not a lot of info on this page because there isn't a lot of info to give. I pretty much solved all the other issues it had. But, if you have a problem that pops up or you have a solution, you can email me at NASCAR92FAN@AOL.COM or use the CONTACT FORM in the SIDEBAR and tell me.
Thanks for your cooperation.

- Need some help understanding the sites layout, go HERE.
- Need some help understanding me, 321JAP123, :-) Then go HERE.
- And the is another random info page on my Membership site, right HERE.
- Want to report a site glitch? Go HERE.
- Missing the bottom bar?...if you remember it. Go HERE.
- DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER!!!
- Don't use...just don't. Nothing works. The menu is broken, the floating button don't...float. The new animated window loader that I added fails and is slow. Just don't use it at all. I explain it better in the browser help and at the top of the page. There is a message that only IE users see. READ IT!
- Firefox is ok.
- Everything works fine. At least...I think it does. I don't really use Firefox. I have noticed it take a longer time for the site to load. Like slower than IE. And some things load weird in some tests. Like the Scroll News in the sidebar. But the menu is OK and mostly everything, yet.
- The best way to view the site is with...Google Chrome!
- Weird...My site uses Blogger...which is made by Google...and it runs best in Chrome...HAHA!
- But it's true. I use Chrome. I make the site work best in the browser I use. :-) Makes sense to me. And the new custom scroll bars I added only work in Chrome. It's just better. Good job Google.
- Read the "A better way to View" section.
- I displays the main things you could do to get my site in proper order on your screen.
- You see, I made my site to perfectly fit on my home computer screen. Both of them. I used to be adjusted for my tiny laptop. But now,I fixed my other computer and it has a bigger screen. So, things are getting bigger.
- I changed the font across the site to be bigger, and the menu font got bigger.
- Remember, if things are cut off or squished, just zoom out in your browser. If things are small, zoom in. I actually and zoomed in to 125% when I view my site.
- And there's another reason to use Chrome. It doesn't zoom in all the sites you go to after that. Only my site. And whenever you come back, it will still be zoomed.
- Have your new windows open in new tabs.
- Just do it.:-) It helps.
- The site takes a while to load...But it is improving. With recent refinements I have gotten loading time down to just over 4 seconds. You can see by these updated tests.
- It loads slow because my site is so stuffed with content, it's 5 megabytes in size. That has also gotten better as well. It was 8. All that still takes a little bit it load, and the 300 different codes requests and what-not.

- That's because my site is so stuff with content, it's 8 megabytes in size. That takes a little bit it load. And the 150 different codes and what-not.
