I.M.Learning -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/20/2002 11:20:14) Hmmm...I personally like the navagation flash bit on the homepage -- actually much better than the pages that follow. I thought it was pretty cool how it worked. You said 'speak your mind' - ya'll need to try water - tastes great!

john40004 -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/20/2002 13:34:26) Looked at your site using XP with IE 6.0, modem speed at 28.8. Pages loaded fast. Your homepage however was not centered. I was unable to get to the right-side links on your circle. I liked the effect however. Personally, I thought the content was funny, but my wife felt differently. You may want to add a disclaimer to the homepage as to what follows.

alcobuddy -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/22/2002 4:27:34) Gil - If you get a blank page thats a problem with the Flash bit - the site owner decided against a non flash page. Go to this url and have a look around: http://www.alcobuds.com/alcojokes/index.htm Richard - In terms of being referred to that page - I'd appreciate if you could identify what you mean! I.M Learning - What would you change, I've always thought content was more important than layout and the layour is nice enough and does it's job! Stuckinthemud - care to comment further. John - it's not meant to let you see the whole circle - they're our 10 sections on it and then the forums!! What content did your wife not like?? P.S. We've removed some more mature pictures! www.alcobuds.com

erinatkins -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/22/2002 8:29:56) Some of the humor is funny. However I would not want my daughter to read some of it. Site flows pretty well. Loaded fast. The blue that is around everything - I do not care for - but that is me. Erin

alcobuddy -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/22/2002 9:08:46) Thx for the information - I like the blue - thought it looked good! If anyone else does'nt like it say so! Ehm - the jokes are varied I admit - whats the best way to keep the jokes there cause Alcohol is fairly adult orientated anyway! Will a disclaimer do or would this be useless as people will just skip past it - or a ratings sytem - 18's only etc! www.alcobuds.com

joy -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/23/2002 2:12:36) My husband and I almost died laughing at some of those pick up lines. Too funny. I think the design is nice overall. The bright blue is a little too bright for me as well, but this is probably only an issue at higher resolutions or on big monitors though. Personally, I think the home page would look nicer in a little darker blue as well. I think what everyone is talking about on the homepage is that if someone doesn't have the flash player installed (because of a firewall or something...) then they can't get to your site because they just see a blank screen. It's always a good idea to have at least a "next" link or some sort of regular html navigation somewhere on the page for them. MyDog8it Design SunState Consulting

alcobuddy -> RE: Have a look - Alcobuds.com! (2/25/2002 3:36:42) Thx for the feedback - I will put together a non flash menu for visitors - got the site owner to agree to this! Glad you enjoyed the site! www.alcobuds.com
