New Ironworks Forum front page web design! (More added!)

[Wulfere]

Very Slick Look. Especially the forum menu. I like the whole look of it. Outstanding work as usual for Z. A+

They don´t load with the page. Perhaps that is how it should be. As it is, I hold the cursor on an entry, say W&W forum, and 2 seconds later it gets highlighted. [img]smile.gif[/img]

This issue can be fixed by "preloading" the highlighted images when you pull up the page. The reason you get the delay the first time you try to look at a link is because it's uploading the image. Once it has it in the cache, then you don't see the delay.
I did this preload on another webpage I worked on. If you want to know how to do it (anyone), PM me and I'll search around for the html for that page and let you know how I did it.

I MIGHT go ahead and do a preload java, but it takes time.

See www.tgeweb.com --I used the preloading javascript there. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Very cool, Z. Interesting about the expanded roleplaying forums. I might have to check that out.

It's a dead link [img]smile.gif[/img] It'll be back soon though!![/QUOTE]Huzzah

Tight-O Ziroc! It looks great! Will it include an archive of all your talk-shows? I remember you saying something about recording your talkshows....

A very pleasant surprise when I came here today. Looks good.
