There are no frames on the site anymore. There haven't been for several years. Are you able to post a picture of what you are seeing.

Maybe not frames but the bar on top shrinks.

I will try figure out how to make a screen shot on my phone.

See how small the buttons are? Turning the screen helps somewhat.

When I zoom in it looks like that. However when I try to scroll to the right it doesn't stay it bounces back to the left or doesn't even move. The lower... frame does allow for moving around.

Not that important because I keep a tab open in my phone connected to the site all the time but it might be frustrating for new people browsing the site.

Not sure if this goes here, but on your "Links Page" the links to the following no longer work:

* Big Bill's Star Trek Stuff
* Borg Institute of Technology
* Star Trek Archive

It's quite odd, I'm not sure why it's not allowing scrolling. I've not disabled it at all. The same code works on other sites I create. I'll keep looking.

OK, I think I've got this working. It now works on my iPhone and iPad. Please give it a test and let me know.

Totally locked on the upper bar when I zoom in. The main page I can scroll or move around.


Anyone else with a Android have this problem?

You will need to force the page to reload, in order to clear the cache

When on the main site, the width of the page keeps rapidly switching. The scoll bar on the right hand size switches between normal and twice as big as it should be, it happens very rapidly, maybe 3-5 times a second like a flicker. I originally though the page just hadnt fully loaded and some boxes were adjusting as other loaded, but it stayed for several minutes and never went away, I wonder if its the decorations?

I'm using a fairly modern Google Chrome and windows 7.

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Ah I see what it is, there is momentarily one scoll bar being added for the whole page including the buttons at the top, that added to the normal scoll that just covers "whats new" makes it double in size, but it does blink into and out of existence like twice a second.
