I do take your advice seriously and I really wish I knew what you were talking about so I could fix it, but I don't I need specific examples of what to fix to know what to fix.


Spak, you know me ok, I just don't have time to stick around and get kicked out again, I only need help with my website and these people are the only people I can turn to.



It was mentioned I use CSS, I have spend a lot of time searching this on google and find nothing that makes any sense to me. If it is so easy why is it so complicated? Can I just download a tool or program that will apply the css to my site and fix it that way? Or do I have to once again destroy the entire site and start over? I am ready to go insane over this right now and I need help, sorry I know I should be in a forum or site that deals with this, I only came here because it was familiar to me and I trust the people here.

I mean When you guys tell me the site looks bad, I know it looks bad, but *I* do not know um, what is wrong with it and *I* do not know how to fix it. We can not afford to hire someone to fix it for us and I am doing all I can but obviously Yahoo! hosting SUCKS and they keep screwing things up and I don't knwo what to do.


Someone mentioned the navigation bar, can I ask what specifically is wrong with it? I mean when I go to a website I see links on the left and search bar on the top abnd content in the middle and ads on the right and that is how I set up our site so maybe I am stupid and I don't get it but when you say it is wrong I don't know what you mean, in the earlier discussions it was suggested I learn tables, which I took my time to get it right, now I am told to use CSS, of which I know nothing about, I tried installing PHPNUKE and my head almost exploded, nothing was easy to find in that thing.

I am sorry if I confused anyone I just always made websites the same old way and this was the first I ever tried to take seriously so I do, I really do want to do it right, but reading articles on how to write html and css and php does me no good, I need to be able to open the document edit the pats I need to edit copy and paste the items I have and create the links manually, I never get it when i use templates or anything I always mess it up. I want it to be easy but I don't know how to find this stuff, and beleive me I did hours of googling on CSS and still found nothing that helps.


Ok well I still appreciate the comments and I will continue to make it work thanks for the advice and hopefully I can figure this all out.

well i thank you all for the feedback, and appreciate the comments greatly. I know what CSS and PHP and all that jazz is, but I don't know how to do it. I don't even know that much HTML to be honest.

AS for the news site, well I am taking that down, Yahoo messed up somewhere and I can no longer log in and stupid word press sucks anyways cuz I can't get the theme to match the site.




>>The top navigation has a low-res graphic with text links that run together.<<

Yeha I was going to take that out but got in a hurry and forgot.

>>There are gifs with transparency where white edges are visible. <<

This I do not understand? Could you please be more specific?

>>The side bar navigation is boring and there are ads that can be mistaken for pages within the site.<<

What ads? The navigation is clear what pages are ours and anything below the affiliates box are ads.

>>Google search should be on its own page and not sticking out like a sore thumb on the home page.<<

WRONG, every single site has google search at the top of the page as a site search, gamespot, ign, gamefaqs, youtube, EVERYONE, so the problem is not the location of the search. I agree it looks off but it has to be where it is, as all sites have the same search in the same location.

>>The site needs a stronger brand image. The logo should not straddle another brand but be the strongest element of the design.<<

That was me being in a hurry to fix the broken links and get teh videos up I forgot to move those, doing that today.

>>The area for the main body lacks any sort of depth or direction. There are mistakes with HTML Entities (odd characters that may intend to be copyright symbols?).<<

I don't know why it does that, but it is something wrong with when I copy quoted text it makes weird symbols appear where ' and , should be.

>Really, the main issue is branding the site and carrying that design over to every element of the site. <

Come one we got 3 mexicans 2 black men and 1 white guy working in this site, theres gonna be conflicts with what looks good and what doesn't, we were trying to make it more useful, not pleasant looking. Well ok we need it to do both but we really only wanted to focus, right now, on making it easy to find our content as that was the number one complaint we had and so far not 1 person has said if we accomplished that.

I know the site looks ugly, that isn't all my choice and I fight every day to make changes, but what I care about is if you visit the site can you find what we are offering and is it clear what we are about. I had our description on a separate "About Us" page as a filler so I didn't lose anything and forgot to put the text back on the home page, which I will do today as I am deleting the news section and need to fill in that space.

Pale, thanks for being cool and putting it in here instead of locking it. I promise this is my only thread and I will only be here for today and I am gone I swear.  Peace, Love, and Chicken Grease

General-3 / Need feedback PLEASE

This is my only post then I am gone so please reply with your feedback and I will read responses but not reply.


A few months ago me and my friends started up a video game website, some of you helped me get the ideas and start it up, but the last six months we have gone to tell. Now I decided a week ago to fix the site, so I talked to a lot of people and got some valuable feedback and made up my mind to tear down the site and rebuild from scratch. Now all I want is those who helped me out in the begining to check out the new site as we re-launch it at midnight tonight Mountain time. Also we are opening our music site at the same time so be sure to check that out. All I want is feedback, honest please good or bad, and I am gone never to come back.

Just goto the site, gamerzjackpot and tell me as much as you can. We have tried our hardest to make this site work but lossof friends and wildfires coming too close to our town this summer put a serious damper on our spirits and we just sorta gave up for a while. Well now we are going back at it full force and want to here from my friends, and enemies here what they think. Please do not ask how I got this account and do not send me any messages as I am not likely to be able to answer but PLEASE d not lock this thread I just need some feedback this is not spam, ty I am asking you to be human about this and please just let me have this one thread.

no cuz what happened was when you change your email address they generate youa  new one, fine no big deal email me the new password, but I gaev them an email address that somehow already had an old account tied to it and now that password overides the other account, so I change emails for this account and now the other account doesnt get the password assiciated with it. Its very frustrating.

I am sure that when everybody gets back to work monday they will fix it but its very annoying having to use this account after nto being able to for ever, this was the username i had origianlly signe dupw tih but never could log it way back before animecyebrrat even. I changed it a few times and never could get in and bloodworht finally got it going but it took forever. I forgot all about it until I changed my email address to this one.

isnt godfather and MK both coming out at the same time, wait till those games get relased and see how well they sell. I expect Mk to sell alot because its every MK character ever made and it uses the remote to get more interactive. trying to remeber all those fatalities has become a real chore, but waving the remote around looks to be a lot easier and more fun too.

Thats rigth this is going to be a very special mafia indeed as it is going to be a cross over of the *best* players from Nintendo World Report and some people from the real world. the game will be hosted over  at the rats collectibles if you dont know how to find it send me a PM or find the fuhouse thread with the link its not hard to find.

There will be prizes, ther will be crazy friends of the looney rat we all love and hate at the same time, and there will be a mix of the best NWR Mafia players verses some looney tunes who never played before but love to have fun and be rowdy.

What makes it even more special is this game is going to be the first mafia game that we will write  a transcript of and reenact it as a audio production. So if you are an avid Mafia player and think you have waht it takes to walk away with the grand prize and beat out the best of the best then make sure you check it out. This game is not sponsored nor endoursed by NWR I only posted this here because Its mafia.

Be there or be square. yeha I said it what you goona do about it.




(BTW this is *not* a joke post I only put it here because its the only place I was allowed to and its Mafia so it belongs in the (un)official mafia forum.


I hope to see all of you there and if you received an invitiation to play and havent sign up yet this is your reminder and if you havent gotten an invitation this is your open invitiation to play and prove who is the best at this crazy game we call mafia.


Sincerely


THE RAT

hey bosshogz this is segagamer12 I got logged out last night and the systems changed my password on me  so I am having trouble logging back in could you resend whatever your pm was to *this* account until they get it fixed. I dont know how long it takes to retrieve a lost password so it could be best to just use this account for a day or two. thanx.
