Hey everyone, just a quick hello, wanna let you know that the new version of my site is up. It's a complete rework of my site with a new way of doing things.

http://www.metalcollective.com
or
http://www.left-click.org/~dragonx/

Works best in IE (colored scroll bars for better aesthetics on some parts), it has some problems in the mac version of IE that I'm not sure how to fix at the moment, and I've not properly tested it in opera, Mozilla/netscape, or older versions of IE. I do know that it won't work in pre-4.0 IE browsers (using an iframe). IE users should see it fine, Netscape users should just see some a slightly ugly scrollbar, mac users should see a slight graphical error on the navbar.

If you discover any other weird issues let me know please. I want this site to be as compatable as I can with what I'm using (IE: no older browser support, upgrade, you savages.)

Nice. The design looks really good.

Blue is the color of victory.

From what I can see it works pretty well in mozilla. There does look like there's an interesting issue with the way the link buttons fit into the gui.

Heres a screenshot to see if you see anything wrong.

But it is very very shiny looking. Very nice. I like it! XD The logo kinda reminds me of BOF2 for some reason.

---
I will rate you hard, and unendingly.

Thanks all

That's basically the same problem that mac users get, Noonie. IE and MyIE2 render it just fine. I think it has something to do with the space around the buttons in the mozilla engine It seems to be adding space that doesn't need to be there. I have no clue how I'll fix it, so until I do, it'll just look kinda crappy on Mozilla browsers.

Well, the first URL just doesn't work, and the second site doesn't do much. It just has a shiny layout, which I like. If it helps, I'm using a macintosh.

What *browser* are you using though?
As for the first link not working, I'm getting a little pissed off about that. What good is having a domain name if it ONLY works in two browsers??

I'll try to come up with a noframes version of the site, but that's really on backorder.

^-^ It does look really good though. I really do like the GUI a lot. Very shiny and simple.

We all know you really mean "rimjob"

You got served.

...and pain joined his urge to percieve...

DX always serves up the rimjobs.

---
Poop.

HEY DX YOUR SITE STILL DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONTENT.

Okay, I suppose I should serve some noframes content then.

Just to please you cock knockers who for some reason don't support iframes. UPGRADE, FUCKERS.

---

My browser supports iframes. I was commenting on the fact there's only four reviews (which is content (i was j/k)).

Ah, I gotcha now.

I'm working on it! For now, post in the message board.

My browser supports frames, but I long ago decided that, from a design perspective, frames are evil. I'm much happier with includes.

That said, it's a bitchin' theme ya got there.

Actually, fuzzy, I would have preferred doing includes, for the most part. The problem is that I've never seen includes that could handle dynamic information like the webboard and the guestbook.

I refuse to free people of the site to go to those things, I like having it all inline.

---

You might want to consider a small top frame to return people to the main site when they go to pages with dynamic content. Otherwise it feels like you are looking at that content through a porthole. For me, looking at the web board through the small frame was kind of frustrating. Just my hopefully constructive two cents.

I did it kind of like this:

http://www.dumbentia.com/postcards.html

The postcards site is off-site, but people never "leave" Dumbentia.
