you might wanna post the coded used here, people can't log in as admin in your site

I knew it had nothing to do with the php codes. The only reason I gave a link to the code module was just in case you knew of a quick fix. I knew that there was a good chance that it might not be a quick fix.

Your absolutely right about the absolute position messing with the link in terms of what part works. I had no idea the position property would effect links in such a strange fashion. Aside from it messing with the link, I don't see how it's really bad. I tested four variations of names (two on different sized screens). Here is what it looks like for really long names:



Here is what it looks like for short names:



From what I've seen it's displaying as it should. So your telling me that some how the user menu was over lapping? Or was this on a cell phone. I admit that my template needs some work to make it responsive which I'll get to some day (some parts are as of now). I am using a absolute position so that my objects could be placed to the right. This site (the stack ideas one that is) uses list items and a single float right to pull it off. Would you recommend using that method instead?

After taking your hint and doing a search I found a solution on Stackoverflow. However before calling it good enough, I'm very curious about the over lapping issue you mentioned. So for sure you saw over lapping on my test site?

Hello Josh,

Yep, that's right the menu UL is actually overlapping on the "name". Hence, with a shorter name it works

I can't seem to produce that issue even with different screen sizes and a different browser even when the name is really long. I'm curious how you produced that issue.

Hello Josh,

I think the screen shot here would give you a better idea of what I am referring to http://screencast.com/t/iYX2JAdL5iS

Thanks for the screen shot. That setup is actually intentional. I might have to make a few pixel adjustments with the padding, but it's mostly what I am aiming for. The user profile link is supposed to be right next to the menu so that user interactions are all in one centralized location.

Hello Josh,

But the way it's done causes the element to overlay over the name which then prevents the "clicking" on the name.

That was true when I started this discussion. However I set the z-index very high for the avatars module position. Now the entire link is clickable even on very long names. I suppose maybe you are going off of the initial test you made or your browser has the old css file cached.

BTW, good to hear your feeling better.

Hello Josh,

Sorry I think I missed this thread earlier. Are you still having issues with it?

Not that I've noticed. I'm heading out to Peru for a long time tomorrow morning. I should be back during early August. My delayed response is due to extremely limited internet access during this past week on my beginning part of the trip.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up on this
