Jane here!
I adjusted the code for the Closed Circle banner images last night so that they should adjust for various screen configurations, e.i. they should now be a percentage of the column width rather than an absolute size. Problem is, WordPress wants to mess with the manual html code, and it took out the code that should keep the image proportions the same, so…if you would mind clearing your cache and taking a quick dive over there with whatever browser and version you use to see if it displays right, I’d sure appreciate it. If you would window rather than full screen and “squish” the page to see if it changes, that w/b even wonderfuller!
Appears to work fine in IE6 under XP (on my work machine). I confirm the ‘squishability’. (Hey, if you can make up words, I can too!)
I’ll try tonight with Chrome under Vista.
Jane, I’m in Firefox. Caches are cleared as you instructed.
The “Welcome” box still overlaps in the right-hand column, whether or not I’m using a full or “squished” screen. Everything else on the home page seems OK.
It seems to work fine in the latest Firefox and IE on Windows. It squishes down to 800 pixels, then stops squishing and cuts off. The ‘welcome’ graphic on the front page doesn’t squish though, so it overlaps a bit on smaller sizes.
I looked at it using Adobe BrowserLab, and it looks fine on other browsers, except for the welcome graphic on the narrow width.
BrowserLab is free to use (though you have to sign up and get an Adobe ID). You can enter the address of any web page and it will show you how it looks in various browsers on Windows and Mac.

There are many other sites which do the same, such as BrowserShots, but they are mostly pay sites, or have a long waiting time for results.
ooo ooo ooo! thanks!
I am also in Firefox. (3.6.27) The welcome box overlaps the right panel in my default window. But it slides back to center when I extend the window width.
Since you asked: the “Welcome” graphic is really large, so it overlaps the right column. I’m seeing this in both Chrome and Firefox. If I widen the browser a lot, it looks normal, but that shouldn’t be necessary. 1024 pixels is a standard browser width. Making the “Welcome” graphic smaller, and centering it with less of a left margin, should make it friendlier to more browsers, I think.
That’s actually weird. I designed it for 1024 layout. Hmmmm…but they s/b better now. They’re set for 80% of column width which seems nice to me, anyway.
The name graphics on the ebooks page are set at 60%. Hope that looks good to most people.
I browse with Firefox 3.6.27 on Windows 7 64 – and the big main banner on my screen even with Bookmarks open on the left scales just fine. The Welcome graphic however overlaps to the right into the shopping cart and What’s New area if I move the bookmarks bar more to the right.
I browse with Firefox 10.0.2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit and everything is OK except the Welcome graphic.
Well…gee…woulda helped if I’d like FIXED the welcome graphic. Should work now. What can I say…it was 2AM *yawn*
Thanks everybody!
Yes, everything works perfectly now ^^.
Sooper Shu-Chan isn’t the only one with boundless enthusiasm and ambition. His staffer clearly is too, and must be fun to be around. 🙂
Under Win7
* Safari 5.1.2 and IE9 — Looks good, graphics (incl. Welcome) scaling right on squish or stretch. Orion’s Children: page is visible, graphics behaving right.
* FF10.0.2 — Despite clearing my cache, it seems not to be showing the current pages. Will try again later or tomorrow. Believe this is a false result, given all others are showing correctly.
Under iOS5 on iPad2:
* Safari Mobile 5.1.2 — Looks good, graphics (incl. Welcome) scaling right on squish and stretch. Orion’s Children: page is visible, graphics behaving right.
WFM @ >800×600 Firefox-2.0.0.16/Linux 😉
And this morning all the avatars are here! Go figger.
Slight clarification: Since the page is LONGER than the screen, there is a vertical scroll bar. I have bits of JavaScript that will set the window to a fixed size, currently 800×600. Because of that VSB taking away a bit of the horizontal dimension, I have a HSB that shows there’s the width of the VSB on the right I can scroll for. On the Closed Circle page at 800×600 it’s just a bit wider. The edge of the VSB coincides with the magenta borders of the Store/What’s New/Donations boxes and covers some cyan and black borders on the right.
Because I use Linux this is the X windows system, with the BlackBox window manager. YMMV 😉
I think you have the right avatar! 😀 (he’s so keeewt!)
I’ll take a look at my minimum width setting on the page. It s/b able to go down to 800, w/o going to scroll bar.
:facepalm: We try to fix a display width and something else fixes itself! It’s the internet—
I hope it stays fixed, Paul!
Suddenly the avatar in the WP bar at the top of the screen shows a kitteh, not a crosseyed penguin.
I think that was because CJ’s message was the last one shown in that refresh.
But I also want to give a hand to Jane for making the page adjustable. I did that for my website one upon a time with hand-coded HTML. It ain’t as easy as one might think (is it,Jane?), especially if one uses tables and images!
Despite being unable to upgrade my Flash player for Firefox (because I’m not a SysAdmin), all seems to be working well with my minimal surf-around. No funny overlays, and the buttons all work as expected, with the Flash caveat.
Looking great! No problems from my perspective. I use Chrome and have windows 7.
Looks good and resizes smoothly in Safari 5.1.3 and Firefox 9.0.1 under OSX Lion.
Most stuff covered already. Looks fine (but tiny!) on my iPhone rotated in both portrait and landscape.
The “Help” tab jumps down under “Home” if the window gets squished enough. The other tabs don’t do that. (Actually good behavior).
Foxfire 10.0.2 here, and it looks great, and everything seems to be working well. Love the logo, by the way.
Latest Firefox 10.0.2 and everything squishes fine.
Looks good in Firefox 10.0.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 Linux.
Ditto with Daze on Safari 5.1.3 under the latest subversion of OS X Lion.
Looks good on my iPad (current model and OS).
