Change of theme .... work in progress ...

[Chris]

Any thoughts, good or bad?

It certainly isn't finished yet, so let me know anything that's broken/missing (I know the Mailsports (http://www.mailsports.co.uk) banners are gone at the moment.)

Thanks,

Chris

In brief, I like it so far. Look forward to the finished product.

I thought my eyesight had deteriorated first thing this morning! :eek:

Seriously though, it's good, I like it too! Haven't detected any faults, at least not where I've been looking this am! :)

The site is now wider than what my screen is. Old one was ok.
Can someone tell me how to fix this.

Mr. Haddock ... I'm assuming your screen resolution is 800x600?

I like it a lot so far I think although it came as one heck of a shock, I assume we will get the logo back?

Hi Chris

No it is set for 1024/768.

It is 1.25 inch too wide. Have to move slider at bottom of screen every time I
change pages.
Tried other resoultions but still same.
Any idea what I can check or change.
Thanks

Are you running your browser maximised? What browser (and version) are you using?

The only thing that is containing the width is the mailsports banner at 798 pixels (plus a small amount for the borders. It should work with horizontal scrolling at 1024x768 but definetely not at 800x600.

I quite like it - smoother than the old one with fewer sharp edges :)

Working fine on mine at the resolution, mind I don't normally use that

I like the new layout! much improved.

But whats happened to the swimclub logo you had I thought it was quite good!

I would like to see more differentiation in the boxes which show forums which have had new posts since last visit. It used to be a totally different colour but now it is all blue and not nearly as easy to pick out. Please?!

Yes, but I'm currently puzzling over how to integrate it.

All seems to be fantasmagorical to me, I like it a lot! Very smart :D

[wendy]

I'm a fan too, both of the new look and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Is there work being done right now? I ask as it seems v. slow just now:( Am not having probs with other sites (am on high speed broadband), so did wonder???

[swimstore]

It gets slow around lunch and sometimes dies, it's being going on the last few weeks some days are worse than others

Second time trying to post this the first time it failed, funny thing is the pings are fine 12ms so it must be the services on the server that are failing

Funny thing is I’ve been speaking with the same company that Chris uses for hosting regarding dedicated and Colo servers for my business.

They say they are aware of issues with the server they know as Holly and they are transferring people off of that server to another on request from the owners of the sites

They say that’s quite and old and busy server

[poolside parent]

Thanks for shedding some light!!

[Bowly]

It's a shame the swimclub logo isn't at the top.
Looks much better than just the text...

It will be ..... as soon as I can work out how to do it nicely ....

I'm looking at it again .... thanks for letting me know.

OK ladies and gentlemen.

I have cleared some of the stuff I needed to, and now the site logo is back! (albeit with a stupid coloured ring around it ..... I'm working on removing that.)

What do you think?

Still ok, or did you like the coloured border around the whole page? I have to admit that I did, but I wanted the site logo back more than I wanted to keep the nice blue border.

Chris

[Linny]

It will be ..... as soon as I can work out how to do it nicely ....Dunno when you managed it (i'm not that observant so if it's been on for weeks er sorry) but I spotted it tonight, well done Chris.

:cheers:

[Chris]

Little border around the site logo has now been found, beaten to within an inch of its' life and thrown out the door with a warning that should it ever choose to return it will regret it!

;)

[swimming mum]

I love the new logo - sorry for being so slow to pay attention to it!

He is actually the old logo .... but he's been hidden for a while :o

But thank you :D
