>>"Anyone got a clue how to fix this?"

For starters, until you find a way to actually FIX it, I'd suggest putting the actual webring link on a seperate page with a link to that page (possibly with an attractive logo) at the bottom of the navigation area. This "squeezing" is MOST unattractive.

I agree, this squeezing IS most unattractive. I love your links and all, but I really don't want to see this much of them. Just convert the links on the "graphic" to a standard webring text link, or change the specifications for that graphic-box to one that is smaller. Or, alternatively, like Gary suggested, put all your rings on a pop-up page or another page altogether.

Dean, my first-cut reaction is that the width seems to be determined by the string "guest, this site is a member of the WebRing"

Until I get a chance to look at the code, why not try shortening that string (if you can) to see if that changes the column width any.

Dean,

I looked at the source for your page. It looks as though thats the standard size of the INJ webring banner. Since you are actually pulling the navbar from the web ring site I don't think there is a way to modify it.

Either check with the Webring Host to see if they have a smaller navbar, or manually "fake" the navbar by adding all the appropriate links and formatting it in a more deanesmay.com-friendly type of way.

That entire bar is script-generated, and you don't, so far as I can tell, have access to the particulars.

However, again so far as I can tell, this is a new wrinkle; older WebRing sites, even in the same ring, don't have the scripts.

I have dummied up a version of the old-style WebRing referral, plugging Dean's ring ID into the variables, and posted it at my own site at http://www.dustbury.com/test/intj.html. Grab it if you like.

Yeah, here's the current code, and I've gone crazy on the webring site trying to figure out how to get a better bar, but the sad truth is I know very little about these things and have very limited time. (Use View Source to look at this in isolation):

Let me see what I can do with that code you gave me, CG. It loses some of the listings for other webrings, but it's definitely a start.

Darn. The comment editor blocked it. Probably too many tags it didn't appreciate.

I want to be in these webrings but the code just wants to take up such a ridiculous amount of screen real estate. Let me see what I can do to get some examples into text files so some of you who are better at coding can help me out. (I do appreciate the help, a lot.)
