StarDestroyer.Net BBS

I was hoping that someone could give me some feedback on my website. It has absolutely nothing to do with star wars, but nevertheless I was hoping someone could give feed back on the design, layout, etc. Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

how could i forget the webaddress

Not horribly obnoxious with java toys and popups, with a clean design. The text on the buttons should be centered, but overall an attractive and functional site.

anyone?

Basic and easy to use. Perfectly suited to it's purpose. Nowhere as cute as your avatar, however.

Thanks I was going for the clean look, as suggested by website for dummies guide. And I really don't know how to use java.

Aw Thanks...yes the little bovine dances the night and day away. I wonder if he ever stops...

The site was *cute* before someone complained about seizures. I was going for the techno, bright purple clashes of yellow look before. But it ended up looking tacky so I made it all white.


Thanks for the feedback!

say were any of you guys able to get the search engine to work? I don't know why but it doesn't work. Maybe its just my browser.

Works fine here.

Do you want me to be nice or mean?

The Search thing is ugly, and the main page looks a bit empty...

Is that Times New Roman I see? Its passable, but I'd recommend Verdana, Tahoma, and other fonts like that... I guess its decent, but I think you could probably just stick the news stuff on the front page.

were you using the site search or the websearch? For some reason the site search doesn't seem to work. Maybe the spider didn't go through yet but every time i do a site search it says not found.

Site search for Psych turned up 5 hits on the site.

the search thing is free...and that's all that matters :):):) As for the fonts I'm using the website making tool that comes free with netscape and it doesn't have a lot of fonts. Most of them are even worse. I'm kinda strapped for cash and I don't think I could convince anyone to advertise on the site until more people visit it :(:(

thanks Dalton. Its working now. I guess I was just alittle bit panicky as this is the first time I tried using a search bar on my site. Its kinda tricky and I'm not very good...

say if i wanted to use other fonts how would I do this using the netscape webcreating program?

<font face="Verdana">Text you want</font>

I'm assuming you know how to edit the HTML directly.

yup I can edit html, just don't know how to create them. Haven't memorized the codes yet.

oh and thanks Exonerate

No Problem

You could also embed it into your CSS files, which saves more space and to me, is a lot more convenient.

whats a css file?

Check http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/ref ... eet_guide/ for more information...

thanks again

Maybe add a javascript rollover. I'll maybe post code later.

well I decided to remove the buttons and start over with the design. Here is the website, again redone. Tell me what you think.

Well I suggest reduce font size, and fill up the empty space.

Dump tables for layout and use CSS instead. Go to W3C.org and look up some stuff. I think the news should be on the right also.

boy this is so time consuming
