If your talking about the 4x4 driving through the water over a bridge then thats only an add, When your in a website and you see HOME and you click it that takes you to the No 1 page , called index in the building of a homepage or website,

Steve,

Can you tell me more what you mean. What pictures flashing while reading the list. Is the layout OK as per the little sample below or does it display funny?



If you can give me more info it would be great.

Maybe you mean the shop and trader images - anyway just let me know, I am still working on the layouts so any constructive feedback welcome. BTW: If you look at the Topics area as well you will see the WIP for these pages also.

David one small point that I thought was only occurring on my screen but I can see it on your little sample pic above also.

The EO roundel in the left top corner area is very dull in its colors and appearance compared to what it used to appear like, Have you done this on purpose or is there a display problem?

John,

It is and is not on purpose - I have forgotten to load the right logo - I used this as a temp measure and intended to load the right one shortly - Guess I should do this now. Thanks for pointing it out, I will attend to this now.

Do a refresh again - I uploaded several versions so hit Refrsh to ensure you have the last one which for now is it. Thanks again John - have a nice day.

Sorry David whilst I'm having a whinge :-) the menu bar on the forum page...

The Search button goes to far to the right and is under the advertisement that appears there, it appears the menu bar is to long???

HUm - IE7 have not done much testing with that one - must install it and have a look. As for the logo - that is sort of what I am trying to acheive - it has a slight 3d effect maybe not 100% yet but close - will see what the creative controller says (Michelle). Thanks for the feedback will see what happens with IE7.

OK I can see the 3D effect your trying to achieve but it looks better being bolder in its colors.

That menu length issue occurs on the home page also (Under the Nissan ad) and the little map of Aus you put in place for the weather detail (Good concept) is now underneath the 4wd crossing the causeway video.

Must be a screaming Ba$tard to get it all correct with so many browsers and versions of browsers in use. (Would drive me nuts)

I'm not complaining as I realise you are revamping the site and it takes time to get it right. I like what you are doing its certainly a modern image that you are reflecting and overall looks great.

Good Luck.

John,

Darkened a little more. Just installed IE 7 on my machine (bugger forgot the switch to leave IE 6 running, lucky I have 6 machines here). Anyway I cannot for the life of me see an error with the flash file sitting in the wrong spot. Can you send me a screen capture.

And yes browser differences are a pain in the you know what and consume the most time in any development. What a waste of time it is.

Thanks also for the positive feedback.

I knew I sent him to school for a reason :-)

Yeah yeah ok - I was working on it till 2:30am and left a little bug in it - sorted now.

Just installed a mod to the weather system that allows you to mouse over the little map and get the weather for each state capital - this will soon link to the new weather pages - which will include temp graphs by month for areas all over the country - so people will be able to get ideas of average temps by month easily.

goodday david
sent reply thru feedback but have just watched again and will try to explain
in HOME i now find every time the capital city weather changes cities the 4b on the causeway superimpose over the "exploroz by" when in destinations over the map or if in topics over the lists (which is where i 1st found this as i was trying to read the lists) or if moving the mouse across the little pictures of exploroz by it flickers really bad
