Thanks for point this out, Pataskala. When I went to the site recently, I had such trouble navigating it that I thought there was something wrong with my computer. Once I figured out that my computer was OK, I found myself waiting for the flashing fake warning that I had a virus on my computer and needed to download their scanner to fix my problem. What a joke it has become!

Longtime lurker here, I’m not sure how you all are unable to find everything. I can find it all just fine.

Well, the first time posters all agree that us old-timers don't know what we are talking about. Perhaps, they are student interns in the AD's office. Or, maybe trolls from Oxford Tech, Syracuse or Marshall.

This is the answer right here. And the newspaper analogy is spot on. It's the same kind of griping comes from people who say the local paper sucks while they get incredulous about ads, subscriptions and anything else that might actually pay for quality content. Content costs money.

You can just hover over 'Sports' right smack dab in the middle of the top menu bar. That will create a dropdown of all sports; that menu bar is static across all pages. It's possible it's not rendering in your browser or something, but it's super clear to me: https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/hFG8PtdpTmuf59i0u4Er

Also, nobody on the internet needs to see ads unless they want to. Every browser offers like 19 different effective ad blockers.

It's a top level menu item in the middle of the screen on desktop. If you have to zoom out multiple times to see it, you're zoomed in a crazy amount and can't really criticize the design because you're not interacting with it the way it's designed.

On mobile, the top level menu is all condensed into a single "Menu" accordion, exactly in the style of prevailing design these days.

So it's their design that's causing an issue that only you are encountering and solved with a browser level setting that's specific to you as an individual user?

I know, I should have better things to be contemplating.

Yeah, man. Appreciate you thinking of me on your vacation and all, but you shouldn't be.

Yes, others have issues with the design of the site. Both of them over the age of 90 (I kid, I kid). But more to the point, neither seemed to suggest they had the same navigation issue you explained, and I don't think your navigation issue's actually valid.

If you view the site at proper size -- 100%, or smaller, the menu remains the same. It is not until you zoom in at 150% the design size that the 'Sports' menu item is pushed into the 'Menu' accordion. This is common in responsive design to accomodate the range of devices (mobile, tablet, desktops of various sizes). But even then, there's a "Menu" icon (https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/fbkcO7PmR962rtYabqKm ) that remains fixed as you scroll through the page. It's always top level, always top of screen. The very first item on it when you select it is "Sports" with a dropdown listing the sports. Totally cool if you don't like the design. But I don't think the issue you mentioned is a design critique. It seems like user error to me. When I look at ohiobobcats.com I don't have navigation issues, and just see a completely generic college athletics website.

Call me old fashioned, but if I see somebody publicly critique another person's work, I'm going to at least call out said critique when it seems off-base to me. And that goes doubly when the critique is publicly posted in a small community in which there's a good chance the person responsible for the work will read it.

Navigation isn't the issue, content is. Click on the VB schedule and you get last spring.
