Forum Menu Bar

Post by Eamonn »

No, not a bar serving drinks, but an addition to the menu bar at the top of this page!

It now contains a link that takes you directly to the main Jampot.com website, so making it easier to switch between the Forum and the Membership system.

It was actually Alan's idea that we discussed at the 70th Anniversary meet...!

Whilst it appears on my phone (android), when held in portrait it does not have the title I see on the computer. So for members who only use their phone it is the right hand of the two speech bubbles, the left hand one takes you to the forum home. It is a useful addition though so thanks Eamonn and Alan.

It always helps if you give the model and year so that we can provide a link to the relevant Owners Manual.

Clive, turning your phone on its side when viewing does give you the textual name, and furthermore it gives you a bigger keyboard to use for those of us with "fat fingers"....!!!

I'll see if I can find a different icon though :-)

Well done Eamonn, I don’t have a problem with the position as I only access on my IPad.

What an "interesting", geeky morning...!!

The icons that can be used in the menus are limited to those available from a pre-defined range called FontAwesome ( www.fontawesome.com ) and there's nothing in there about jam jars, jam pots, or jars - however pot was found but I thought it would not be appropriate to this site!!

So I've settled on a motorcycle icon that can be used to jump back to the Membership system.
