Portal Navbar (cont.)

The vertical bar looks... interesting. I would say keep it only if we change the Article of the Week format. That bulky format fills up the screen - fast. ---- 14:17, 3 January 2007 (EST)

• The problem is definitely with the AOTW. It already looked like crap at anything below 1280x1024 because of the blurb + sidebar combo.--Hardvice (talk) 14:26, 3 January 2007 (EST)
• Not a big fan of the veritical bar personally. Strikes me as out of place and difficult to read (left to right easier than top to bottom). Just my opinion. (Admin 15:15, 3 January 2007 (EST))
  • How about ... diagonal? (hehehe) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:19, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • The horizontal one is just so freaking huge ... at low res it's like a third of the page. We can keep it, but it really makes me want to cry. (OK, maybe not...)--Hardvice (talk) 15:30, 3 January 2007 (EST)
    • Now maybe if we kept it one line and put it in a scroll box...--Hardvice (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2007 (EST)
      • I think I'd like the scroll bar less. haha. If you take the vertical bar with cells sized exactly like it is now and make it horizontal then it should fit in one or two lines, shouldn't it? (Admin 15:35, 3 January 2007 (EST))
        • Not at 1024x768.--Hardvice (talk) 15:41, 3 January 2007 (EST)
      • Though more importantly, it comes down to what everyone else thinks of it. Do most people prefer it being vertical over horizontal? If so, let me suffer. :) (Admin 15:37, 3 January 2007 (EST))
        • Horizontal ---- 15:38, 3 January 2007 (EST)
• What about axeing the template-index? The navbar does its job - in style. ---- 15:38, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • I can get behind that, but then I'm obsessed with the portals.

I attempted to fix the article of the week - but now, it may be too small. ---- 15:15, 3 January 2007 (EST)
