resolved Menu Behind Avatar?

[Piddly 926]

Not sure if this is a bug/glitch with the site or a local issue, but figured it was worth a mention.

If I'm viewing a profile page, and activate the 'Browse' dropdown menu, the avatar appears in front of the menu, obscuring some of the options. 

For reference, this is on a Mac running Mojave with Safari Version 12.0.1 (14606.2.104.1.1)

It's doesn't cause a problem, as it's no hardship to click back to the homepage and navigate from there, or just to click on the edge of the menu entry, but again just though it worth flagging. 🙂

Pretty sure this has been happening for years.  Someone posts here about it every few months.

Meh.

Ah cheers @Kei.

As I said, it'd a bit of a non-issie but I wasn't sure if anybody was aware. If so, it's not exactly doing any harm, so all good. 🙂

Yeah, it's odd and annoying for a second every time it happens to me, but it's not bugged me enough to want to bring it up to staff.

And it might be one of those "it looks tiny/easy to fix but is actually somehow horrendously hard and it's barely an issue so fuck it" situations and I wouldn't be upset by that at all.

The thing is, that I'm not in this business, but still found a possible fix for this in less then 10 minutes. Just modify the CSS of the site at this part:

Quote

.ipsNavBar_primary {
    padding:0;
    z-index:100;
}

You have to increase the z-index of it to 2000, and it's properly over the avatar now. You can try this out in your own browser, if you want: press Ctrl-Shift-C and search for the part above, and modify the z-index value to live edit the copy of the site shown on your own machine.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested it extensively, and again: I'm not (really) a developer. Things might be more complicated than they first seem.
