  Thanks for the kind words, really great to get feedback from someone with an established campaign (even better one that has won COTM). GTB was happy to find his Wanderings appreciated as well, lord knows he does his best to twist the truth of my game!
  
  It should also be pointed out that some pages require the custom Nav bar be to shifted to the left a few pixels. Examples include the comments page and some dynamic character sheets (specifically the D&D 3.5 Universal sheet on my game).

  All the best,
  - Kallak

  I finished adding Kallak's custom nav bar to my portal today and I'm very pleased with how it came out. There were a couple of final things that were necessary, for example adding the "active" page highlighting and also shifting the navbar for the "Comments" page slightly to the left, but now all of that is done and I can focus on adding content to those pages!

  Thanks again, Kallak.

  Thank you, KillerVP and Kallak. I appreciate your feedback.
  
  One of my players discovered a problem using the Chrome browser; this problem did not show up for the MSExplorer and Firefox browsers. When he looks at the nav menu using Chrome, one of the tabs overflows to a second row.

  Has anyone else experienced a problem with the Chrome browser screen real estate? I could probably solve this problem by getting rid of one of my tabs, or trimming the tab text, but geez, I had just settled on a nice set...
  
  Thanks,
  Job.

  One option might be to change "Expedition logs" to "Logs" -- same tabs, but they'll take up less space and it looks like that would solve the problem.

  You know Job, I use chrome and I noticed your comments tab dropping into a second row...I assumed it was intentional...wish I had spoken up sooner...oh well.

  Chrome treats everything differently format wise... You either have to keep things small and simple, or tell people on the front page of your site "Best viewed in Firefox or IE..." I agree with Savannah's suggestion....

  This is also an issue that will crop up on a smaller scale with different PC setups. As an example, the nav bar for my site has slightly more free room on my laptop than on my desktop. Granted it's a difference of about 10 pixels, but it's there. I assume this has to do with the difference in screen resolution and/or size.

  All the best,

  As sort of an aside, now that I think about it, you could probably combine your newspapers and newsreels tabs into one if you had to. that would definitely free up some room and as far as I can tell would be workable. Maybe a combined tab name could be like "Media Feeds" or "Publications" - something along those lines. Just sort of thinking out loud.

  All the best,

  You and I were on the same page, Kallak. I just combined those tabs before reading your post here! Those two tabs are now a single tab that is entitled "Newspapers & Films". Hopefully, this will resolve my screen real estate issue.
  
  Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions and help!
  Job.

  Hey, great stuff here Kallak, I really appreciate the hard work, both on the nav tabs and your campaign. Although I use buttons for my major pages, I am going to slowly convert all of my lesser pages to the custom nav tabs. Its gonna take forever, but it will be worth it. Thanks!!

  Hi Kallak,
  
  Just wondering: Which page would I put this on to modify the nav bar when viewing the Adventure Log page? Should it go in the HTML box for every adventure log entry? What about the tab that shows the last several adventure logs all on one page?
  
  Thanks!

  You can probably do that by putting the code in the first adventure log on each page of that tab and putting the code in every adventure log entry under a line, so it doesn't get called when viewing the adventure log list. I don't know what would happen if you just input it into every adventure log; might make the adventure log list a bit odd looking, might work perfectly.

  I was putting it in every adventure log before I changed the setup I have for my log and it worked fine
