Good Afternoon,

Some of you may know me from my posts here, but I am launching a new venture to provide a range of wargames services including a painting service aimed at the smaller scales and I am pleased to announce that the website is now live at:

www.montyswargamingworld.co.uk

although you do currently need to type the link in as search engines are not yet seeing it.  We also have a special opening offer on platoons for TooFatLardies' Chain of Command (although they would also suit many other games)!!

Please do stop by to see us and please feel free to pass the website address on. And any questions or requests - email me at morr2212@yahoo.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from people.

Kind regards,

Richard

Had a look at your website using IE and there's a few problems with it. I can't see all the menu options at the top of the screen and the text in the News window is cut off at the bottom and on the left hand side. But what I can see looks interesting.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I'm using Firefox and it doesn't display properly for me either ...

... even when I remember to turn on javascript for the various elements on the page - doh!

Love the "Monty" rat :)

As a time rich/ cash poor geriatric trying to live within the means afforded by a company pension I'm not going to be in a position to use the service - barring a lottery win! - but it looks good and I wish you well. Other than the formatting of your web page I think you've got it pretty much nailed.

Many thanks indeed, chaps. I'm at a bit of a loss on the webpage - too many people have now mentioned it for it to be isolated and yet it looks fine to me in Firefox and Chrome. It's beyond me so I shall log a query with the support chaps and see what they say. No doubt it will be something really simple that requires the whole website to be rebuilt from scratch!!

Works fine for me with Waterfox.  :)

Good to see you on Saturday Richard, and best of luck with this!  

The website is unfortunately a bit squiffy for me as well, the title headers are extending off both edges of the page, and some of the pics are overlapping the text.  I've attached a couple of quick screenshots to show what I mean (click to enlarge):

Yep me too
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Many thanks again - the screenshots are especially useful. I'm waiting on an answer from the IT people and I'll see what they say but it may just be a case of moving the top bar in a bit and making sure any text close to the bottom of a text box is not right at the bottom. If anyone spots any other problems, I really would appreciate a heads up as this is my main marketing tool and so needs to be right.

Kind regards,

Richard

Still having difficulties as described above. Top bar extends beyond both sides of the window, text is lost on the left side of the window.  This from my  IPad.

Works well for me, but then again, I'm a Chrome freak.

I think the word "Chrome" in that sentence may be superflous  :P

If the site is standards compliant it should work in any modern browser tbh.

Younger spawn used to produce websites professionally while at school/ uni. I had a number of requests to load every browser I could lay my hands on and look at a site and report back. I know more about cascading style sheets than any human being not actively developing websites should be required to know  ;D

Hi Richard. I have the same problem with Firefox - left hand text off-screen, particularly with the bookmarks sidebar in place.

All the best.
