*does happy dance*

Right. Managed to fix things which got broken in the move, and hopefully now we're all systems go once more. So yay us.

Hope you all missed us terribly and cried yourselves to sleep each night. Just nod and smile, it helps my ego.

So, what's changed except the server I hear you ask?

Well a couple of things.

Firstly, after sifting through all the applications for reviewers (thanks to everyone, lots of great reviews and a really high standard), I've picked out not one but two new reviewers for the GTA3/VC section. They are Dup and Mewish, two regulars around these parts who know they're way around the games and cars and such like. They're currently crunching their way through the GTA3 waiting list.

Secondly, I've been doing some reviews. Yes yes, get up off the floor. No really, I'm working my way through the GTA1 waiting list (GTA2 waiting list is empty!), so hopefully that will be cleared in the not so distant future.

Got a few other plans, feeling a bit inspired towards the old lass these days so it's time to give her a kick up the behind.. (I said Kick..)

Stay tooned folks..

I just noticed that when I try clicking on the "cars" pages (all of them), I get a page showing the sourcecode instead of a list of cars. Guess this is not intended to be like that. I'm using Mozilla 1.6, btw.

Just tested it with IE, it seems to work there. Strange.

The fixed width of the site seems rather outdated.  Because the title image doesn't span across the right hand column the minimum width is much larger than it could be, so people who don't use huge browser windows get a horizontal scrollbar.  I notice you've got seperate classes for all four link events, which is excellent, but the lack of resizability and the large minimum size isn't. :)

Is the Mission.INI site going to be put back online?  The domain still seems to be valid, so is it *just* a case of uploading everything again?

what, my site?

erm, well the minimum size should be 800pixels (I seem to remember measuring it way back when i designed it). I'm not a huge fan of expanding websites, and they're a pain to design (not to create, just to design as in so they look well done and don't have huge gaps).

I'm working on a new design which will become the default skin though..

mission.ini site yes, it's on my hard drive waiting to go live again. To be honest you're the first person to notice it wasn't there so I wasn't rushing myself. I'll get it online asap..

Most places on the site have fairly chunkey lumps of text which should prevent big gaps from being a problem?   Exciting to here there there will be a new design. :Y

The main body of the page is around 805px but that bar down the right, where adverts and polls are, adds around 200 more.  I think the navigation section could be much thinner, which would save some space.  Just setting all the cells as having percentage widths should make it turn out alright.
I think all browsers render tables so that empty cells collapse to allow ones with content to expand, preventing side bars.  These empty cells will then expand back out as the browser window is made wider.  Just a case of picking a set of numbers which are proportional, really.

A great place for sensible articles about realistic web design is the one Icey uses and this article has a short (but pretty watertight) argument against fixed width web pages as point #2.

(EDIT)  I just found this one today, which shows how to use relative sized fonts via CSS!  By using "120%" instead of something like "12pt" the user can change the apparent size of the text from the browser menu. B)
