I like them about the same. Though I think the white text on V6" is a little harder to read because of the lighter background and the big vf.
EDIT: I'm not trying to be a bitch here, but CSS has been around long enough that there's not any excuse anymore. This is 2002, we don't use HTML 3.2 anymore... I hate tables with cellpadding=0 and V7 has that goin on. It annoys me that you have a properly linked stylesheet but persist in using <FONT> tags. <FONT class="foo"> is especially offensive to me. Proper style suggests <DIV class="foo"> for block level elements and <SPAN class="foo"> for inline elements. The scrolling statusbar text was super cool in 1998 Look at your BODY tag: <body bgcolor="#003366" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" onload="STBTimeOutID=window.setTimeout('setMessage()',100);"> Your margins aren't being observed. I looked at your code and there's no good reason for this (six levels of nested tables): Code: </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> The banner graphic bugs me. It has no composition, it just looks like stuff whacked together. It doesn't add to your site's message. My advice: go back and sketch, with paper and pencil what your site should look like. In fact if you draw this one (v7) out on paper, you'll see quickly why its pretty uninspiring. Visualize the structure from your sketch. Implement the structure with sane, reusable modules. Keep the structure simple. Go check out CSS, in particular absolute positioning. Using tables for layout is not proper HTML style. Six levels nested is appalling. It boils down to: try harder.
cheers, lol.... a few things tho -- they are no way from finished.... erm.... i really do need to look into CSS, and these are totally different than my current version... i just wanted a change lol cheers, anyway -- im gonna look into using CSS properly, and try to do a PHP one when i learn it enuf... cheers.
Better not show linear my 2 sites my html is the messyest in the buisness but thats what you get with a WYSIWYG editor
I prefer V6, but it could do with some tweaking. Not amazingly sure what but play around with it and experiment thats wot i always do. Ug
I say v7 has better colour scheme but v6 has what to me looks a tidier layout BTW Nobody let me ever post up a site for evaluayion, cos ya just know Linear'll rip it seven ways from sunday I know he means well though.
without linear we'd all be a lot happier, but we'd be without worth while feedback.... i agree with the banner, i did it as a cropping experiment a while back, and used it as a temporary filler for the banner, as i couldn't be bothered to do a proper one for the test... so v7 with a better banner then???
eheh not if i can be bother to get there first ) it'd be nice to see v7 with a new banner... not a lame one thats what clinched it for me to say v6 originally... do one and i'll reevaluate i a gree totally with Bradford's use of the term 'rough'
Wow, lots of replies! Well, I'm still a little old-school in my web design, but that's because I work for a University, and you know how those US government people are... I've got to make everything for 800x600 monitors viewed by people with poor eyesite, and no taste... blah. If your site is going to have a target audience of gamers/l337 computer users, go for absolute positioning, CSS, and all that great stuff... (I'm going to be redoing my site soon, after reading all the good advice from linear... hopefully before he sees my "visit my site" post!) Oh yeah, v6, it looks cleaner and better thought out.. v7 looks like every other gaming site.. sorry.. -OneSeventeen GoAhead
