background animation doesn't work, and i get the message saying my computer isn't good enough:

3.2GHz
2GB ram
radeon mobile X600 (128MB)
firefox 3.0.8

if there's actually code to detect computer specs it's broken, that or the animation is horribly fancy

Um. I think my brain just got a colour overload. Did you design it yourself?

Locky · « **Reply #77 on:** April 08, 2009, 10:23:10 PM »

ok i HAVE to say something.

I'm also not running a computer that nasa uses so I am honoured to not see the animated background but I must ask Aidan WHY?

?

An animated background is a distraction. End of chat. Period.

I am a little hypocritcal cuz we have fading background images on the WB site but I worked hard to (hopefully) get the right balance so its not a distraction...and on the flipside, we got some damn good pics on there.
You have multicoloured thingy that not even stephen hawking can see.

And the blue outline. ew.

the animation is still abit shakey at the moment one min it says it cant play the animation next min it can but thats just there for abit of fun XD

the site will look betta after ive edited a few things XD

sprog do u like my colours XD hehe i went for a very colourful look but as u will see its fast clean and looks good XD and it has a database with everything saved u can even search XD hehe

yeah, i must say, i get that 'Your computer sucks' message aswell..

I always thought this PC was pretty good... It would have to be to get over 400frames per second on Call of Duty 1

Most people only need 125 anyway... (it makes you jump higher

)

Wait, there's an animated BG as well?

I can't see it...
With 2Gb of ram, a 3.6GHz HT processor, 256mb ATI Radeon overclocked gpu and firefox 3

I think this website is an improvement but there is still work to be done

Random question. Why do you upload things before they are finished?

One other little thing..I know you founded the group ect ect but the website is about the group, advertising the group and bringing new people to bocking (I guess?) I know you made the site, but do you think a new bocker will find that information important? Will it mean anything to them? I just think the focus should only be on the group and how great they are. Groups do have "engines" but at the end of the day it is the people that make the groups what they are..and they are groups, not teams. Teams have captains.

sprog · « **Reply #83 on:** April 08, 2009, 11:04:32 PM »

I have to ask, how can you own a group?

aidanh1 · « **Reply #84 on:** April 08, 2009, 11:07:41 PM »

hmmm good points spud

1. i uploaded the site before it was done so i cna get opinions on the themes (no point doing the whole website then finding out the theme is rong)

2. i dont beleive ive mentioned me in this site? ive talked about the group and nothing else ive talked about joining and stuff but everything is group related

Funny, it was still there when I checked after I posted.

I dislike the fading sidebar, it's badly implemented and looks out of place as the rest of the page doesn't fade on transition with it.

Why don't you actually build the site, as opposed to using a wordpress blog?

aidanh1 · « **Reply #89 on:** April 09, 2009, 12:30:37 AM »

becoz i dont have time to create a site and i have stopped the side bar from auto hiding so its completly ur choice to hide it

and for some reason it hasnt uploaded my edited post stupid computers

Locky · « **Reply #90 on:** April 09, 2009, 11:26:03 AM »

I think you need to stop playing with toys and start taking your groups website a bit more seriously.

You change it every other day. At the moment it says nothing to the public. No photos, no real explanation, not even the area you cover other than the north west....of something.

The colours are hideous.

Get something positive and I'll be positive about it but you wont get any gold stars for something that just doesnt do the job.
Clean and simple Aidan, thats all you need.

The JJ site isn't 100% ready for relaunch yet as the forum and gallery aren't live, but those are the kinds of things you should be aiming for. Simple, neat, and gets the point across.

darfgarf · « **Reply #92 on:** April 09, 2009, 12:54:02 PM »

YAY! you included the ss site in the list sprog, though that's still just a template, need to fill in the text for the rest of the pages, then sort out a proper banner/gallery preview image etc

but i agree, something simple like that with a forum behind it, no need for fancy php all over the place etc unless things get really busy

Locky · « **Reply #93 on:** April 09, 2009, 12:59:49 PM »

You dont even need a forum, what you have here is fine.

you mean you hit the delete button, should be a simple matter of re-uploading everything to teh correct places, and restoring the sql databases(if any)

all assuming you're using some sort of apache server, or something running cpanel, seems pretty standard these days

aidanh1 · « **Reply #99 on:** April 17, 2009, 03:12:35 PM »

well yes i thought of that asswell so i uploaded all the stuff and then reset my sql server went to go to website and i get the 500 error
