Amiga.org Update - 4/1
« on: April 01, 2003, 04:10:38 PM »
Contrary to belief, not everything on April 1st is a joke.  I've been tinkering a bit lately, as you can see.  The Image-o-matic has been expanded and I have a whole list of things to come.  

Originally, I had planned to begin working on the new version of Amiga.org but time constraints are making it more trouble than originally expected.

Right now, as you might have noticed, I am trying very hard to reduce the site's default dependency on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).  Not an easy task considering there are almost 3000 calls to CSS written into the code of Xoops 1 itself.

But hey!  Coding is fundamental.  ...or is that reading?  I can never tell.  

Ideas and suggestions (as long as constructive) are very appreciated and will be logged for future "round to it" use.

So far, so good!  The reduced graphics is also positively affecting
the load times for us poor modem-surfers.

I think the background should be a bit lighter, but with the same
pattern.  If you would like, I could run it through ImageFX or
ArtEffect and email you the results.

I liked the 'if you wan to see more pictures if this person' feature in the images but it only was up for a couple of days? That way, i could for example see all pictures of Fusko in a quick easy way.

@z5

I am sorry, but I simply do not remember that feature or where it was.  Sounds like maybe a PHP or PostNuke deal, but then again, we didn't have an image gallery under those packages.

More details?

Very nice, chap !

someone said the background should be lighter, but I like the dark (!). perhaps an option ? how about more themes - I havent looked yet so ignore me if that is the case.

I also like the info list beneath the random image thumb on the main page.

Good effort !  :-D
