Title: I like what you've done with your website
Post by: Grundig on 04 August 2012, 10:53:23 AM
I do like the wallpaper you've added to your Webpage :) Are you going to be changing these on a regular basis so we get to see more items in action so to speak?

I can't get the little pictures to enlarge any more. :(

I can only see some images down the extreme edge of the site, otherwise it looks the same to me. Am I missing something?

You guys must all have the wrong browsers. I see a perfect background picture of the Birthday Bash Rorke's Drift scenario pus everything else I should see.  :-\

I can't even see the individual items in each range. Woe.

Good grief.

Don't tell me that my steam powered PC is working better than  others. :o
Seems to be working perfectly here.

That's quite attractive.  So what will the background be for the minbits page?

I use Mozilla Firefox for what it's worth. When I open the page, the image of the game appears briefly before disappearing behind the old/normal page if that makes sense. Shame as the blipvert image looks very good. Maybe it's subliminal advertising by the Dave and Leon :-\ ;).

I get a thin sliver of coloured glory, then the old pages on my 'work' laptop on Internet Explorer, I'll have to check the 'home' one later!

It looks good on my widescreen monitor, so it may depend on your screen resolution as to how much of the background you get to see.

You do seem to need a wide screen to see much of the image - on the iPad there is the barest sliver on each side, not really enough to see what it is. On my iMac with a "normal" width browser window then a good bit of Zulu goodness can be seen, even with all the 2500 pixel width then not quite all the photo comes into view!

The one change I really want on the site is that the shopping cart shows the name of the item you have added to the basket not just the code, which has been 'on the way in the next update' for some considerable time...

If you're using an outdated browser you're gunna have a bad time.

Its a background image, so if your screen rez is 1024x768 or below you won't see much of it.

Fred, that change is coming asap but I'm running the forum and website for free at the moment alongside my 60+ hour per week job so ny time spent developing the Pendraken site is limited to my v limited free time.

Keep checking the forum because you'll hear about it first here.

I suppose it's true enough that the forum will be the venue for announcing the Aztecs. Not to mention comets, rings around the moon, two-headed monkeys, rivers flowing uphill, and my dice failing to roll only ones at critical moments.

Using Firefox if I delete my bookmarks sidebar I get a reasonably wide strip of illustration down each side of the screen. Is that what we're talking about?

Don't forget the Maria appearances. The Virgin is pretty active  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgms4bqjkhA) lately.

Yep, you beat me to the announcement of it!  It's a nice little tweak Matt came up with, which I think makes the homepage look so much better.  We will be changing the pic regularly, around once a month we reckon, so I'll be on the lookout for suitable images very soon...

Not sure yet, I'll be having a chat with Matt towards the end of this month I think about that, plus some of the other additions to the Pendraken site.

There's a point with the requests, where constant badgering results in votes being taken off ya know...

Hmmm. Their defining attribute is negative - INactivity.

Everything's working fine for me - on IE8, Chrome, Firefox & Safari  8)

I don't need to click on pics within codes for larger images: they're right there at the bottom of the page...

Now that IS brilliant!

We shall have a living catalogue which grows all of the time.

If only I could get my nice camera to focus closely enough to send decent photo's!

It'll be me not doing something right - always is.

(In FIrefox) if you right click on the background image at the side of the page an option appears in the menu to 'View Background Image'; and very nice it is too.  :-bd
