Nurbs?! NUUUUUURBS!! </ogre>

Looking good. I like how quickly the images loaded. When I realized the format it was in I was afraid it was going to be excrutiatingly slow like most others I've seen around the net, but was pleasantly surprised. One odd thing I did get a couple times while browsing around the site was getting sent to a blank page with the planetquake header and the banner. I wasn't able to reliably reproduce the error, but it happened a couple times while I was poking around. (firefox 1.0 if it helps)

I remember seeing just about every map on the site. Great work. :icon14:

Yeah once the site loads each page loads all the images, then it goes fast I am not a web designer. so Photoshop and DW is all I know at this point.

I figured I might have banner errors, but I block all the banners and never see them, if you do get a repro step or someone else send it over I will fix it. Thanks for coming to the site!

If i may feel so free to say so, I hate your site design tbh :paranoid:
there is no doubt that the content does own, and browsing thru the images has been made pleasant, but the looks of the site itself, i think you spent way too little time on it.

good to hear from you anyway :]

There arn't any download links?

Also I'd change the (CSS) mouse icon back to the 'linkable' finger so users know imediately the picktures are clickable.

This version is 'cleaner' than the last one that's for sure..!

Corsair? You don’t like Blue? Who doesn't like blue? I did not spend too much time on the looks actually, photoPiggy works well for banging out generic art, most of my time was on functionality, and the images will all be redone at some point, but are laid out so I can swap them out. I spent a total of 3 days on the site, and 2.6 days were on the dam images trying to get a thumb nail layout with a larger window to display them with out creating lots of little html pages like most automated programs spit out . The way it was finally done is easy to maintain, but is very hacky IMHO. If you know a better way to do it let me know.

It looks better than my old site for now, it will improve as my skills do...


thanks for coming by!

-V

Also good point Kat I should have added them I will get that fixed...

I don't like the look of the site either. It's clean and that's good, but it feels a little empty - its' navigation part seems to be more important than the content.
