A slight update to the website -DJ Sith - Jan 09 04:03am

There have been some small changes to the website. I hope you like them. As with all site updates please let me know if you see any errors. This place has been completely re-written in XHTML 1.0 and uses CSS positioning for alot of stuff now instead of crazy tables. It isn't 100% cool in the w3c validator yet, but I'm working on it.

There are article and holocron sections added, but staff members please hold off on adding anything yet. I need to go over how to work it. :)

Things to do:
Some user management updates.
Addition of class departments to the class system.
Change the background color
Get a way to display "new" comments and forum posts (may need help on this one)
Display comments by page number instead of generic back and next buttons
Various other things. :)

Enjoy!

If you're seeing old green stretched out header images that's your browser loading from cache. Hit shift + refresh and you should be good.

I've heard some reports of big fonts in IE in Windows 98. If you get this please email me a screenshot. Same with any other layout errors. Along with your screenshot please let me know what version operating system and web browser you're using.

Edit: Whoa. It looks like IE6 in WinXP is centering a LOT of stuff.. I'll fix that. :)

I made sure everything first worked in Safari, which uses the KHTML engine. Ahmeni please send me a screenshot and I'll see what I can do. :)

Well, it's AOL:(, and that would be IE version... 5 apparently. It's probably just AOL, but I'll check it later when I head on over to my dad's:). Forgot to put that in my last post.

A visual error I've noticed is that on the Classes page, when I'm at the top trying to go to another section, while hovering my cursor over the Content tab, 'Links' appears beneath the 'Search' bar.

Also may depend on the version of Konqueror/KDE he is using, I've tried it since my last post and I don't have any probs displaying it.

I was only stating the facts, not even the great(:p) I.E is 100% compliant. I only use Mozilla Firebird, as it's quicker and uses less resourses, but also uses 100% W3C HTML/CSS tags/sytnax.

It's because Konqueror doesn't conform to the standards set by the W3C concerning HTML, as you say Mozilla does and this is because it does use standard syntax/commands

Love the new look, but agree with the comments about the background.

Could we have a nipple hidden somewhere on the site please!:D

Aye, first I thought I clicked the bookmark for your new site design, then I realized you already converted TJA.net! Great job, but something has to be done about the background. All this whiteness makes it seem kind of unfinished. Which it is. ;)
