Maybe you don't see my sig and avatar because I don't have one...
LOL!!!

I had one a year or so ago but both hosting sites no longer exist. I should stick a new one on there from my personal web server...

In fact, I'm gonna add my GFL sig now.

I'd fix you sig for ya Prax, but then it would no longer be well formed, would it?

Try using the image /image tag instead. That's what we in thse part call UBB code.

Also, though you say you have no image, the properties of your avatar come back with this URL http://trekmeshes.starfleet.ch/thumbnails/quantumss1701e.jpg

Lastly, you use Dreamweaver? I use notepad like all good real coders do. None of that plug-n-slug for me. Real coders write their own clean code.

Best,
Jerry

Grog no like fancy html coder program

FIRE BAD FIRE BAD!

Well, it's a very simple PHP script that displays a random 1 of 2 images. It works fine on the GFL forum between the img tags, and every time you refresh the page you get a different image. Quite cool. The browser displays it as an image fine.

BTW as for Dreamweaver...
I don't use all the fancy buttons to do the code for me.
I use Dreamweaver ONLY for the Split-View which is quite handy. See, I can type HTMl code in one side of the screen like Notepad, and see what it looks like in real time on the other side of the screen. It's very handy.
And I occasionally use Dreamweaver to add in some popup Javascript menus because I don't know Javascript.
I've always used notepad before though.

Hello Taldren,
Would you mind fixing this tiny error on your main page that is giving people all kinds of trouble?

On the main page at www.taldren.com, there is the following code:

<p><img src="maingrafx\Doormat.jpg" width="470" height="350" usemap="#DoorMap" border="0">

at the src="maingrafx\Doormat.jpg", the slash is backwards. It SHOULD read src="maingrafx/Doormat.jpg".

Because of this mistake in your HTML code, the only browser that can view your webpage is Internet Exploiter, er, Exploder, er, Explorer.

While it's good to support the most popular browser (even though its a peice of crap, people just use whats installed on their machine), its a very bad idea indeed to not support everything else.

Netscape, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and all other web browsers are UNABLE TO VIEW THE IMAGE ON YOUR FRONTPAGE. Without the image, they can't see where the buttons are, which makes it very hard for the user.

Internet Explorer is the only browser without popup blocking and tab browsing that I know of- many people are switching to Mozilla FireFox because of that. As it is right now, Linux users are completely blocked from viewing your site (unless they know the forums.taldren.com address), and Mac users are forced to use Internet Exploiter Mac Edition (a peice of crap). And Windows users with Mozilla *points at self* have to guess where the forums button is.

Please fix this error- its just one character! Thank you.

Ok, the flippant response would be to suggest that you fix your browser usage--but that is said in jest.

It is a known issue and will be rendered correctly in the next version of the site.

Best,
Jerry

Mac users should try Safari. I've had no problems, but then I haven't tried getting into Taldren through the front door in ages

Praxis · « **Reply #116 on:** March 31, 2004, 02:26:24 pm »

lol

I've tried Safari. However, Safari is standards based (unlike IE which is full of Microsoft proprietary junk), so it renders the same as Mozilla. No go. Though it works if i type forums.taldren.com...

You use a Mac? What OS version?

Death_Merchant · « **Reply #117 on:** March 31, 2004, 02:47:13 pm »

True enough.. Safari does not render the image on http://www.taldren.com/

I also don't care, as I've setup tabs in Safari to open multiple forum pages with a single click.
No pop-ups, renders faster, and bookmarks auto-synced with all my Macs everywhere.

IE??? What's IE????? Sounds like something you scream when in pain...
IEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
