Yeah, a page hasn't been created for it yet, it's on the to do list. :)

Glad everyone likes it! :D

Cool, it looks nice.

But... Can you do something about the text flickering, as I use FF with 1280x1024 (don't know about the others), the text constantly adjusts(changes place a little) if I go thought the links in the news texts. It's little distracting, not a huge draw back... but, if you can do something about that.

Deactivated account. The user today is known as The Imp.

The link to the readme for Baldur's Goth on it's homepage does not work.

Works here, and works for several other people I've just asked, as well. What happens when you click the link?

Glad you guys like the new look. :) Sure, not everyone will, but you can`t please all the people at once and they`ll eventually get over it.

Cool, it looks nice.

If you mean that it moves 1 pixel to the right and 1 downwards, then it`s pretty much intentional to simulate pseudo-3D buttons to a certain extent.

Then the users should enable Javascript. I remember when Gmail didn`t work on Opera for over a year or so; tough luck, I guess.

Unless the site should be made using rules such as:

We must all immediately check our websites and make sure that people with TTY output, Mono-herc and other limited pallette graphic display and all other devices capable of reproducing data in fixed form may access our data, further, all data must pass validation established by Google, Inc.

Further still; we must insure that all data transmits and displays in reasonable time and manner for those using Morse Code encoded telegraph transmission and 300bps cradle modems and that transmission can be established by devices using non-touch-tone clicks. The doctrine of "Knock Three Times on the Ceiling, Twice on the Pipe" shall be the lowest acceptable denominator.

We must also make sure that every bit of text is available in all languages known to man. In cases where the interchange of language is only accomplished via visual signals, audible sounds, scratches on stones, trees or other non-standardized character based language elements, reasonable effort must be made to provide translation services.

All ecommerce capabilities must be able to accurately calculate exchange rates from all known currencies, and in the case where bartering is the norm, we must establish a rate for exchange of beads, livestock, unmarried offspring, land or indentured servitude.

Shipping rates must be available to any point on the globe, and by all common carriers indigenous to the buyer's region. In cases where, for example a package may travel by mule, carrier pigeon or other beast of burden, disclaimers regarding dependency on the animals health, season of year and breeding status must be taken into account.

All methods employed by site must pass stringent spidering, crawling, ranking and algorythmic changes established solely by Google, Inc., and all such methods must be kept up-to-date with all changes established by Google whether by internal company memo, public announcement, or other means public or private.

Failure to comply with any of these mandates may result in system operators being sued for monetary damages due those for whom accessibility has been denied, or removal from the internet solely at the discretion of Google, Inc.

You have been warned!

If you want to make your site unusable for 10% of your users, that's your prerogative.

The website looks nice and seems to be functional too (so many nice looking sites are almost impossible to use). Nice work!

Would be neat if there were the theme options for the forums as well. :) I know that's hard to do, but it's nice to dream.

Part of the menu is cut off so I can read the first couple of letters in the links.

Nevermind it loads fine on Netscape.

I love the new site. It is sweet and wicked at the same time :vbat: ;)
Though were did the photoablum of the members go? I kind of lost it...

Edited by Deathsangel, 16 November 2007 - 05:01 AM.

Still modding the Mod for the Wicked... It is a big project you know... And I got sidetracked (several times) a bit... sorry.
However, as we all know, Evil never really sleeps.


Sentences marking (my) life:

Winds of change... Endure them, and in Enduring grow Stronger
It takes a fool to look for logic in a man's heart
Never question the sanity of the insane
The Harmony of Life is Chaos
Living on Wings of Dreams

Noctalys: you are adorable :P

Thank you for the positive responses, everyone. :)

As for the photo gallery, it was not really used, so we ditched it. ;) There have been talks about starting a new "Cameras, please," however.
