NZ radio opinion site - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi - I have finally gotten around to starting a radio blog I've been meaning to do for a few years now!

At the moment it's just opinion on one issue, but I plan to add more as time allows.

The site is at http://www.radio.gen.nz.

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew. That site scrolls rather oddly on my setup (Firefox 3.6.16, Ubuntu 10.10, Intel Pentium M 1400). This may be deliberate, and it's certainly liveable with, but it takes getting used to. You might want to look at it using some alternative systems if it isn't obvious to you.

Seems OK here. (Firefox 4.0, winXP, Athlon XP2500 mobile)

Thanks Paul! It's a standard Blogger template (the only change from standard was the background and the font for the title) so I kind-of assumed Google would have it right. I was going to set it up on my IIS server here but recent issues with the likes of Wordpress made me less inclined to do that.

I will have a play around at some point and see if anything can be done within the confines of Blogger. It certainly seems ok on IE9 under Win7, but granted that's not a majority platform by any means!

It's a smooth scrolling issue. If I turn off smooth scrolling in the browser, the scrolling behaviour is pretty much like any other site.
