ill 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 It's nice man. Good job. You could still do a little more work on the logo though. Maybe incorporate one of the Sim characters into it or something.If I was into Sims I'm pretty sure I would bookmark this site and definately come back to it, but as it goes, I am not so.. I really have no use for it. But I bet you'll definately have lots of visitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cragllo 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 Thank you, I will work on that logo, looks a bit... dull... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyy15 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 I have to agree. You need a logo for your website. I like the creative font but just by looking at your header I cannot tell what your site is about. Also maybe add hover effect on your navigation to make the links more inviting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. 44373[/snapback] There is a program calles simPE, very complucated, and go to SimSlice to get some great 'hacked' objects, there are some free ones he has made i think, other that that, i dont know where to get a healing thingy... I attempted to re-colour an object using a tut from TSR, but it did not work   Anyway, thanks for the input people!

round 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 I like the site, and purple is in right now. If i were to make any suggestions it would be to maybe center your menu bar links or ad some space so that they're not so close to your border. I'm on a mac so i'm not really sure if it looks the same way to you as it does to me.Nice site though, simple and clean would send you to my own but it's been suspened.round.trap17.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjrn 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 Neat. You've done a good job. I really like it a lot more than the old one. I agree with Round, I think a little more space between the left side of the screen and the menu items would look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no9t9 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 One suggestion that I have for your website is the size. I think you changed it from (optimized for) 1024x768 down to 800x600. But, the ACTUAL area inside the browser window is NOT 800 pixels. There are other things that take up some space, like window borders and mainly the scroll bar.One of my pet peeves when going to websites is having to scroll sideways. You should design your webpage to be about 770 pixels wide for 800x600. In other words leave about 30 pixels for the scroll bar no matter what resolution you are going to design for.

cragllo 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 The actual width of the site is 780, and to fir into IE I need to take off 1 pixel! and I dont feel like editing all 30+ pages right now...Anyway, It fils ok inside Firefox, and one pixel does not make much of a difference...

no9t9 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 acutally scrollbar size is set inside windows preferences. So on your computer 780 may be ok but on other peoples computers it may not be. Just so you know, it doesn't fit in firefox either. I have to scroll right to see the rest of the page. It's not a lot but it makes the site seem un-professional.The best way to do a site is to actually get the usable area inside the browser window and then generate the size of the page dynamically. It is a little bit more work but it's not hard.And your 30+ pages aren't done on a template?? That's gotta be a *BLEEP* to change any thing on your layout. Xisto has php.. you should develop a template. On my site, I have a template that content gets loaded into. That way any changes to the layout is only done in one spot.

cragllo 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 I use the include function on the navigation bars at either side...And i hate working with percentages... lol, all the settings of browsers and that on my pc are default, and i gor XP, what have you got? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjrn 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 Just so you know, it doesn't fit in firefox either. I have to scroll right to see the rest of the page.I tried it on a 800x600 screen with Firefox, worked fine. And then I tested it with IE, worked fine as well. I'm guessing you used a larger screen and did javascript:resizeTo(800,600); which is like having a browser open on a 800x600 screen with the edges of the browser touchting the edges of the screen, not like having it maximized. Most people using 800x600 are probably using their browser having it maximized, and if they're not they are probably having a really small screen size, and that's not really anything you have to take into consideration.

no9t9 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2005 i am using XP as well and have never changed the scroller size. Just as a test, I changed my screen res down to 800x600 and maximized the window (on both IE and FireFox) I still have the bottom scroll bar in both browsers (doesn't fit in both).Also, I may not be running a resolution as small as 800x600 but my browser window is only opened to that size. Since it isn't maximized, the window border takes up some of the useable space as well. My browser window is basically having the edge of the window touching the edge of the screen (if my screen was 800x600). It's not a big deal but what I see is your "S" in affiliates is cut in half. Also, any site looks better with a bit of a margin around the sides anyway. But, it's totally up to you. If you have to change 30+ pages, then leave it.
