I can't seem to edit my Admin navbar on www.mcmains.net. When I try to choose a navbar to edit, it comes right back to the "choose a navbar to edit" screen.
Sean, the problem comes from a bug in the admin prefs and the name of your navbar. It's called "admin", and that confuses the admins prefs system. This bug should be fixed soon, now that we know it, but in the meantime, you can rename your navbar to "adminNav", for example, and that will give you the ability to edit it.

Weird--I can't reproduce this error. I hate to ask this, but could this be an IE problem? I've had weird behavior in IE before, on the PC (including the aggaravating day that I couldn't edit my talkback icon at the house where I babysit).

Help! :)

Another odd little problem related to the Magic Navbars:
I created an admin navbar for my own use, and installed it in my site's default template. I then added the Javascript tag to support the mouseover behaviors. But now, when I'm not logged in and view the site, I get the end of the javascript tag without the beginning. That is, I have this:
// end hidding-->
</script>
But not the corresponding:
<script>
<!-- begin hiding
which should precede it.

All Free-Conversant sites now have access to a super-powered tool for building clean, dynamic, useful navigation bars.

Actually, I was using Internet Explorer on Windows,
so it may be a bit more widespread. :(

It
occurs only in Netscape (and only on Mac, I think), so in the meantime, you
can work around it by using Explorer.

You can also work around it by creating a second link, and then changing both of them. The bug only manifests when there is only one link.

It also only occurs if you have only 1 link line item in your navbar. Once
you create a second you're OK.

You've got to be explicit with your questions if
you want an answer from this busy crowd. :)
FWIW, on OE/Win, I just get the little "Some
Mystery Content From A Plug In Ought To Go Here But Something Apparently
Didn't Work Right" graphic. I don't think OE/Win supports the Quicktime
plugin.

Quicktime Demo
Hey, that's cool! It's good
to see that the QT
movie shows up in Netscape's newsreader just as well as it does in the
browser. (Answering my own implied question from earlier, since everybody else
seems to have ignored me.)

QuickTime being served via Conversant is cool!

Hey, I'm a Navigator holdout myself... but I don't prefer the newer bugs to the older bugs. :-)
