I've been working on it for a while now(a few hours yet), its the page that people will see when they click an image for the code instead of me putting the code under every single image... It's easier for me plus it gives me more pageviews. :-o
:phone:



Does it look finished to you? C/C suggested, or just criticism, throw anything at me.

[nina]

Wow, it's awesome. I love it! XD

[Andrew2]

really? cool, thanks :D

[Nora]

plus it gives me more pageviews. :-o
Smart! :biggrin:

Looks amazing.. the different code options are also really useful and make it stand out.. can't say more than that.. love the new theme (Y) :)

[Andrew2]

Thanks noralicious :D

I just realized there's two different FORUM codes...

Which ones are more popular??

The one I have has like URLOFIMAGE

[tlas]

andrew that is a nice layout i love it.

[Andrew2]

thanks tee :)

[Matt]

Looks good, I like the fact that the textarea's don't look like textarea's, don't know why- I just like that lol.

[Andrew2]

word, textarea's are a pet peeve. gracias.

Someone complain please.

[omen]

I hope you have some security for that script. Someone could do some damage with the url="insertexploit-here" if it isn't secured.

It looks ok, I much preferred the green version of your layout.

But I found they both lag like hell when you're scrolling.

[omen]

You can usually fix that by changeing

body {
background-attachment:
}

to make the bg move along WITH the layout. Otherwise you get that laggy effect

I noticed that too omen, but I think he is just using it for img src , if so I think he will be alright, hopefully he is not including anything :)

[Andrew2]

Yeah, I liked the green but the load time was way too long and the content was too wide. The generator is secured I believe, HTML and symbols are filtered so they will not display. I think the lag is from the advertisements.

I removed the verticle banner but apparently it was actually holding the theme together since I had used a 160px wide image before it to work with which makes sense.. The lag doesn't completely dissapear but if you try it right now tell me if the lag seems to be be not so laggy? :)

[Andrew2]

And no marshall there's nothing hidden or anything, but it could possibly be the background, I don't know another way to make it repeating all the way down to match the size of the content, the bg itself is very large which I hate to of done but I don't know an alternative.

36kb :-/ Can't reduce it anymore because it will lose major quality but I will see what I can do.

[omen]

Nah its still laggy as.

background-attachment:fixed;

Change that to

background-attachment:scroll;

and the lag will dissapear

[Andrew2]

You mean the main background and not the container one?

OH wow, I just changed it and it's dramatically different. Thanks :)

[xJennax]

Woahhh....love it!

[Andrew2]

Thanks jenna.
:D

[Shoug.]

Looks GREAT =D

I love the 'grungy' dedsign. Very eye catching.

I like the new way you have your code. Great idea for more hits ;o

[Andrew2]

Thank you, It wasn't originally for more hits but hey I keep an open mind for these kinds of things. :D

[Anne]

Hey Andrew, is your left nav going to stay like that? It doesn't really match the rest of the design...

Otherwise, I love this.. Your talents are amazing

[Nora]

The one I have has like URLOFIMAGE
Both IPB and vB use the last one.. never came across the first one before :)

[Andrew2]

Hey Andrew, is your left nav going to stay like that? It doesn't really match the rest of the design...

Yeah i know, That was my main problem with this theme.. I wanted more color though without making it too tacky. My themes have always been a bit random. :P Thanks !

[lyzyrdgyzyrd]

Anne beat me to it lol.

That left nav bar doesn't balance well at all with the color scheme of the top and right blocks. And does look very tacky with so many different text colors.

[candysplash]

Sweet. The layout kicks *** and so does your talent (Y)

[Andrew2]

Thank you :D

[Andrew2]

Does anyone know how this is happening in IE7?

I see this huge gap appearing on the right side of the content in the graphics code area

On this image it's not very visible but it's still whack..
http://dirt2.com/graphics/index.php?url=http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc105/24168/dirt2/graphics/24.gif

and for some freakish reason this one is perfectly fine. :-|

Also I notice my ads are different from the ones labelled with 3.gif or 24.gif but only with adsense. :-X

[Sarah]

I love the layout!

And you have some pretty awesome glitters too...

[Andrew2]

Thanks :D

Also I seem to of fixed my problem, Cause unknown but I did the tacky thing and did a DIV overflow=hidden ;P :(!

[Ajay]

if you make the left menu match the rest of the layout, it will look like cowboy times :/ maybe it will look a little better if you got rid of the multi-colored headers or replaced the background for the header text with something else that matches the layout.


i like the backdrop for the content area. spiffy corners?

[Andrew2]

spiffy corners 4 life NIGGAAAA

What would I replace the bg for the headers with... And I was exactly thinking that if I made the left sidebar match It would yeah, look like a slaughterhouse website or something.

[omen]

I've been looking over it again, the theme of your site really doesn't suit your content. You have hot looking fresh content then a hot fresh navbar on the left then the rest is burnt cowboy calligraphy theme.

Seriously, go with that greeny layout you had. If the header takes 30 seconds to load, put a cool loading bar on it.

It'll be worth it, or just make it a static banner.

[Andrew2]

It's not as easy as applying a new layout though, so pretend like you never saw the green theme.. :-/

[Andrew2]

im gonna be thinking about this now... omen, you aren't the first one who's said that :(

[Jordan]

It's not as easy as applying a new layout though, so pretend like you never saw the green theme.. :-/
then maybe your current setup isn't worth the trouble if it's not that easy to add a new layout?

the old layout was amazing, seriously andrew it was the best site layout I have seen in a LONG time. do what omen said and add a loading bar, or just make the animation quicker. hell, you could remove the animation and just have it as a static image. the header itself was great, the animation only added to it.

[Andrew2]

you'll see something eventually.:-x

[Graphic Addict]

Damn that Hot!

[MTA]

Looks really good.

[nsmchris]

yeah. the script is somewhat dangerous the way it is. you should parse out the photobucket part of the url and only pass the image data. Then in your page rebuild the link with the photobucket code back in there.

[Sophie]

ahh I love it.
awesome job ;)

[Andrew2]

thanks, and yeah chris... but its not a huge script, its just a simple one to help me make things easier for my site. I love it cus its easy to figure out n stuff..

[xo.Saz.xo]

Woahh I love that :O

[Edwin]

nice love the new desiqn and ish =]
love the script where u qot it from or you made it?

[JrsDirectory]

Looks great. There is something about it that I can't really describe that I really like!

[Radina]

It's looking nice and professional. Well done!

[reesecup215]

your site is tight work

[glittergirl15]

i like that srsly.... ^^

[a-designsz]

Wow, it's AMAZING! I love it!.. Looks real professional :D Plus I love the layout!

[kirdes]

Looks good!

[A L E X X]

looks hip and the menus and contents are well-organised.
we site visitors dont like spending so much time looking for the categories and stuff like that
great work!
