For the New Guys

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

For the New Guys

Post by Godstilla »

I have found that using the dynamic menu on the parent site to be a pain in the ass. I think the static menu is a hell of a lot easier and faster to get the needed information. For the new guys that haven't tried it yet, check it out: http://homedistiller.org/static_menu.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

I use the static menu at times, mainly because the drop-down menu can be a bit on the touchy side in some browsers and with certain pointing devices... The static menu, or sitemap, might even speed the learning curve for new members too... Good pointer, Godstilla...

Thanks Godstilla - never seen that menu before. Appears to be easier to follow than the drop down, which is very annoying on my browser.
I ask because I dont know better...

My first drops of distillate fell on Nov.18 '08 quickly followed again 10 days later. I'm hooked...

Technically it's not my site but I'd sure love to see the front page redone in a better format.

Thanks!! I'm new here and even though I've worked in computer-related/internet fields since 1995 I find it hard to deal with newsgroup menus. Particularly at this forum, where there is SO MUCH great info - it's just lost in the drop down menu. The static menu is great!
