Resources/The Navigator, drop down list moved to left & partial overlay

catch22

Accipiter's wonderful tools listed in the "Resources" drop-down menu on the MFO header bar are of great value, for those who choose to use the tools.

---A recent "burp" now shows for my pc/Ipad use and wondering if anyone else has seen or does see a similar problem.

1. mouse hover on "Resources"
2. drop-down menu appears
3. click/select "The Navigator"

Note: all is well to this point, and for those who have not used, "The Navigator"; a primary function is to find funds/etf's via a name search.

4. the insertion page is displayed
5. I type in the fund box: consumer (or your choice), for a list of funds containing this name.
6. as is normal, after about 6 letters; an auto list is generated of name related funds.

---The problem is that the list, which normally generates down the center of the page; is now shifted to the left page edge and the MFO header/banner lays on top of some of the fund(s) list.

This condition exists using Windows 7, IE build 9; with all cache and related cleared each day; and the same indications when using an Ipad 4.

Regards,
Catch

When did you first notice this problem occurring? Or perhaps when did it last work as expected? I suspect it will happen for all browsers. So, the info most needed is when did the problem start?

Howdy Accipiter,

I first noticed the change this morning (8 a.m., April 20).

Uh, memory problem with this. Best guess is about 2 months ago when use was "normal".
I wish that I could be specfic, as to a date; as I know this is of value for what you are looking for inside Wordpress or other related programs/changes.
Hopefully, others may provide a true date related experience.

the problem i have, is I don't know if it is a result of a wordpress change or the update last weekend. I'll look into fixing after I receive more info, because it works fine on my test server, I am not sure what is happening on mfo's server.

Chip?? when was wordpress updated? the problem probably occurred then and not during the forum upgrade this past weekend.

Accipiter

update: theoretically fixed. I hoping the cure does not break other things in WordPress.


thx for the heads up. @catch22 and @Anna


Although I won't know if it is fixed for you until I get feedback!

Hi Accipiter,

Bingo !!! All is well. The funds list now populates down the center of the page; as with the original program.

Thank you again for your time and efforts with this great tool that you have generously provided for our benefit.

Note: just to be on the good side of life; I did a pc restart and full clear of cache and related history on the pc I am using for the test.

Respectfully,
Catch
