[Guide] Get rid of the left navigation bar

goeyfun · 2015-05-11 13:15:17

Always accidentally triggers those those buttons of the left of the screen?

Well, here's the solution
Step 1) Get Ad block
Step 2)
visit everybodyedits.com and select "block an ad on this page" by clicking on the ad block icon

Step 3) Select the navigation div and block it!

I see what you mean, although if you "always" accidentally click them you may need to work on your mouse aiming skills.
The webmaster could give the username tab a target="_blank", so at the very least it opens in a new tab.
In fact, that username tab does not seem particularly useful... Maybe replace it with tabs to the forum, blog and help/terms.
Also, when collapsed, those transparent navigation tabs are pretty hard to spot - especially on the brightly colored background image.
On a 1920x1080 or larger screen, they are basically invisible.

It has nothing to do with the mouse aiming skills, this is a problem that was reported before by me right when they introduced the updated media icons, that were first added in the right part of the screen and after I told them that they interfere with the mouse while playing or selecting certain parts of the screen they moved them to the left part of the screen, the problem is that they sometimes still interefere with the mouse while selecting something in the game in the far left side of the screen.

In the end because they are anoying and I never use any of those icons, I did as above, blocked them with AdBlock.

The red selected area is affected by this, whenever you click the mouse there you can't add bricks nor select them and if you click multiple times or slide the mouse while clicking by mistake, even though it is in the game, it will auto-select one or all the icons and even half of the page.

It affects many players, especially those who have a lower screen resolution.

I thought I fixed this. I'll adjust the settings and make sure they don't overlay the game.

We're not lazy. We just agreed not to mess with it.

From what I have heard, the downloadable client is broken. I would think it would be possible to update it without "messing with" the page.

Indeed. I'll go ahead and get this done.

This navbar is dumb.

I liked the old one because it displayed the icons out on the open and you knew what they were immediately. Even if you fixed the hit box issue, you still have to drag each one out to find the link you are looking for. It may look fancy but it is impractical.

What do you suggest?

Should I make all the icons slide out at the same time?

Only if you make the browser smaller than ~850 pixels wide.

The popouts expand ~50 pixels, meaning that from 851-900, they are in the way. I accomodate it by just making the screen smaller, though it's annoying to try to be so precise.

Why were they moved to the side anyways?

What's wrong with a bar up top?

Edit: it appears that you have now fixed it up to 1.1k pixels, but now they essentially will only appear on larger screens, and there's no easy way to access them on a smaller screened computer. Not that it's a large problem, I don't think anyone uses them enough to warrant their position on the side anyways, but this still begs the question as to why they cannot return to the top?
