A very strange site....

Why do the images reload them selves when I hover over them?

[7harmonicz]

Really, it doesnt do that for me? what images are you talking about?

[assassingod]

The catagory images, everytime I hover over them they reload

[Tony G]

Yes, same thing happens for me.

[arifagic]

you meen is the Navigation menu ???
on the main page...

that is just html coded to change color when you mouse over them they do not reloade.. ;)

[7harmonicz]

Im confused, Im not having this problem? Hmmmm.

[N!ck]

The images have jagged edges.

[7harmonicz]

Yes, i know, Im still working on fixing some of the images.

[thuffner]

Change the color of the scrollbar to a color that matches your site, or make it the default color. Black doesn't really match well. Other than that, I can dig the color scheme, the buttons.

Good luck! :)

Im still having the same problem, if I hover over a catagory image (or hover over a link for that matter) , it will reload itself, and after a few times of doing this the image will fail to load.

[SmEdD]

Yes you should try to fix that cause that could kill huge bandwidth on a big site.

[7harmonicz]

Hmmm? I still cant see what your talking about, a friend noticed the same thing and wrote me about and said when he switched browsers from IE to netscape it stopped. I am using IE wich confuses me even more. Im lost, some help would be appreciated.

I don't have that reloading problem. It's usually caused by javascript to make the image change if the mouse cursor hovers over the image.

[7harmonicz]

So is there something I can do about this, Im gettin a 50/50 ratio here withe people who are getting the problem and not getting the problem? I changed somethings around jsut now so it may have helped, please let me know.

[assassingod]

Its stopped now:)

[7harmonicz]

ok, thanks, well lemme know whaty ou think now that the problems are gone.

[Flaux]

The site seems oddly inative and small, also you should really try and organize the forums more, set certain areas for certain topics, your kinda just spread out everywhere.

[7harmonicz]

Well it just opened recently, thanks for the comments everyone, i wanted them befor I start advertising and i would appreciate some more comments as well. Thanks

Well I wasn't going to reply to this thread but you put your site up for feedback so i'm going to give it.

In all honesty this is like you just looked at another persons site and got inspired in PS. You have absolutely slaughtered the font usage. Your navigation is the key part to your site yet its barely readable. You have not once smoothened your fonts out so it looks jagged edges everywhere. Basically your usage of fonts is unbelievably tasteless.

In the forums again you have made the same problem with your font usage. You don't smoothen your fonts out on image. The navigation buttons are unreadable and the text is far too big. To me it looks like you tried something wiredgamers like and drew it by hand. PS offers many techniques to draw curves and by hand is not a very good one. Basically im sitting here looking at lots of jagged edges and unreadable text and conflicting colors.

..................................

Now i'm not going to just criticise you like that without trying to be constructive about it so here are a few tips from me.

- Learn how to make curves in PS by visiting somewhere like TeamPhotoshop (www.teamphotoshop.com) and get rid of those horrendous hand drawn jagged edges that your curves have.

- When usign fonts in your images always smoothen them out at least. If you just leave the option to 'None' then you get those horrific jagged edges again.

- Try looking at simple designs such as at WDF and see how filburt1 has used readable fonts. His navigation is easy to follow and it can be read flawlessly.
