STANDARDS MOTHERFUCKING COMPLIANCE

Seriously, that site is completely unusable in Mozilla/Firefox. It breaks like whoa in IE 5.5/Win. Opera isn't all that happy with it either. And don't even get me started on the Mac side of things. On top of all that, you've used a 212k jpeg as a background image, making for a ridiculously long load time for dialup users, so long in fact, that I almost gave up on waiting and was about to close the browser window.

A few pointers:

- Ditch the custom scrollbars. It's a proprietary IE thing which won't show up in any other browser. You're wasting bandwidth by adding that superfluous crap.

- Iframes are worthless. Again, they're proprietary. They fuck up like crazy in older browsers and in current non-IE browsers.

- Declare a DOCTYPE and then code your site to be compliant with the standards set forth by the W3C that match up with that DOCTYPE. For more info on DOCTYPE's, look here.

- Slice up that HUGE background image and convert it to gifs, and for the love of god, don't make the site so image intensive. You want small filesizes so you get quicker load times. Nothing is more annoying than waiting ages for a site to load.

I could go on and on, but I've already ranted quite a bit. I know I've been harsh, but web design and development is my numero uno trade and it pains me to see people pumping out utter crap. It's not hard at all to code a beautiful site that is also standards compliant. Give it a try and you'll be thanking me later.

Thanks Jas, you saved me a whole lot of typing.

so is TWBeta the new name for TWDev or something?

**IceStorm** · 07-28-2004, 02:58 PM

Twbeta is a testing group. They help out twdev by going to the testing zone and either testing the maps, bots or events. Twbeta website was made to inform them when to go to the other zone and to make them more organized.
They help alot since when we test events like Prodem we need more than a couple players.

most twdev members are members of twbeta also

I just bought the domain twbeta.org and DoCk> set me up with a "basic" package from TWSites, so the new links are http://www.twbeta.org and http://forums.twbeta.org

so thanks for the hosting DoCk> and I'd recommend TWSites to anyone looking for webhosting, it was set up super fast and the server is excellent :up:
