I am aware that it looks kind of freaky right now. The signatures are not lining up correctly.

I was just about to say :eek: Eeek, what's going on?

Is this also why pages aren't loading up?

Hmmmm, maybe we should check the 'weirdness quotient' for the name Mystic Wicks???

Hmm. No, everything should be loading up.

Of course. Actually, optimizing the tables AND taking out excess images that are just not needed.

Actually, the previous way was using 6 nested tables for EACH post. Its no wonder it takes so long to render the pages to the browsers.

Anyway, I reduced it to half that AND reduced the columns to 1.

Some pages still aren't loading up and I'm having to press refresh a lot. I don't think it's my end because I'm not having problems with any other sites.

And also, when you say 'Hmmmm' I find it so funny because it looks like that's what your avatar's saying. I think I belong on another planet. Anyway.....

Here are the stats I am getting on the page load times.

[Page generated in 0.19259202 seconds (58.38% PHP - 41.62% MySQL) with 23 queries]
[Server Load: 0.60 » 1.64 : 1.59]

Well, I am in no way a great 'designer'.

I will say this....if someone can design the 'postview' any better then DO IT! I will take all the help I can get.

awww can our titles be back in dashes instead of parenthesis? hehe

If someone wants to take a stab at designing a better postbit then go for it. I am attaching a text file with the html code you need. NOTE that urls are kind of mangled, but that should affect how you lay the design out.

Dont change the fonts!

OK Babe, I looked and it is wierd, but if it is loading faster and making things better for everyone..then all is good right?!

I guess we could try it out for a few days and see if it is tolorable, then vote or whatever. Just rambling here. You know better than to ask my opinion! ;)

mol
March 6th, 2003, 04:53 PM
Well, I got another way of doing it. I am about to make the change. Keep looking.

mol
March 6th, 2003, 05:01 PM
Now that is a bit better....little more like the old style.

Semele
March 6th, 2003, 05:05 PM
yeah that is better!

Okay that's fine, mol. :) I'm on a university network which is soooo bad, so it's probably playing up and it's just coincidence that you're fixing the site. I like the changes, they look cool.

Lunacie

Wow, I thought maybe I had dreamed the whole thing had changed. I had to go pick up my granddaughter at school and when I got back the site looks pretty much like it did before. I'm sure you've made improvements though, right Mol?

* thinking there weren't any big problems to start with... at least not that I was aware of *

I love it! Nice and easy for me :) And I like the post per day thingy... though mine seems lower than I remember.... better get to work on that... :T

Looks like have been working hard, Mol. Since I spend a lot of time on this site, I notice the changes.

And thats also a reason why I try to change things around. To keep it fresh. :) After all, I have been staring at the same old same old for over 2 years now and so have a lot of you. :)

Things look very nice, Mol! *golf clap*

I like having the status where it is now.. rather than at the bottom. Gives it a better, more flowing look. That, and putting the posts per day thing there (even though it's in the profile thing, too) is awesome, too. Gives me more incentive to get talking again.

Way to go Mol! :D

It's different again! Can't wait to see what we look like tomorrow! :eek:

I really like not having the buttons now. It's going to be helpful when I'm at mom's on the super mega slow puter. :)
