I'm finding it hard to read the forum when the huge headers don't scroll out of the way. This seems to be a new change. Please repair or rescind the change.

In addition to the huge banner....My Quick Links doesn't give me a menu any longer. I have to click Post Reply to a thread...then I get a login screen. Then cancel out of the reply. I'm then logged in to the forums.

I don't like this new layout much...and I can't imagine its in its final form....at least I hope not.

The wiki has the same banner now as well. It was updated about 3 weeks ago, I think. https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I also am not a fan. I use a widescreen monitor, so vertical space is already at premium. A large non-scrolling banner means more scrolling to read the page.

I would suggest adding code so that it scrolls or adding the ads to the sides instead.

Yes, Happy New Year. The 'Quick Links' being broken is definitely a pain in the ass. What kinda monkey-f*ck bullsh*t is this? I don't see ads, anyway. I'm sure it was a reformat that inserted code in the wrong spot, not like that ever happens Rolling Eyes

@ian5142, thanks for commenting on the ticket tatsuya opened, I probably would've never found this thread without looking for it.

I just hope they fix this problem. I don't really care about the non-scrolling banner so much, but if reverting to the old formatting fixes everything that broke as a result of the change, then do it. Quit making things unnecessarily painful.

Good idea!
I had to install Ublock Origin and use custom filters to knock out that huge header so I can see the forum.
Seems ironic?

Sorry All,

Didn't realize there was a post regarding this issue. I emailed Brainslayer on 4/1/19 advising him of the Quick Links menu not working and he replied saying it was now fixed about 30 minutes later.

Did the Dreaded Non-Scrolling Header just get bigger to blot out the Sun?

Or maybe my browser malfuntioned.
