Redesigned web site

Ray · Apr 02, 2009, 15:37:20

I've been busy revamping and updating my Web site over the last few days, I've got it hosted temporarily on my WHS at this address Scolebrook Shelties for testing prior to uploading it to my normal hosting site.

It's still a work in progress at the moment but I would be very pleased if any one has a few minutes to spare they could check it out for usability, any broken links, anything that doesn't work or any spelling mistakes etc. the server is normally online between 06:00 and 23:00 every day.

Typo on the home page, Ray:

Site a bit slow, generally. Otherwise everything seems to work, including the links, though I felt there was a site missing from them for some reason.

Yes it would be a bit slow being hosted on my WHS, when can we have the same speeds upstream as downstream?

Thanks, Rik, I missed that one thought it was a dirty mark on my screen.

Which site would that be then, this one by any chance?

Rik · Apr 02, 2009, 16:09:14

Mmm.

Click to email truncated for me in FF , ok in Safari.

Rik · Apr 02, 2009, 16:19:21

Truncated in what way, Steve?

Strange, Steve, that's not happening on Windows.

Yes, Rik, always have to be different don't they?

If you want to see how your website looks with different browsers and OS try this site http://browsershots.org/. It can take quite a while to run depending on how many browsers you choose to check out, but at least you can make sure your pages look pretty in different browsers

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 10:30:26

That's really handy, thanks, Martin.

Sebby · Apr 03, 2009, 16:57:15

It's the same on Firefox on my Mac.

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 17:05:13

I wonder if it's Mac or Firefox, Seb? Do you have another browser you could try?

Sebby · Apr 03, 2009, 17:07:47

It's fine in Safari on the Mac, so it's the Mac version of Firefox that's to blame.

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 17:14:07

Thanks, Seb. Web standards again.

Sebby · Apr 03, 2009, 17:15:36

I wonder if it is web standards this time. I think it's more likely to be something to do with Firefox's rendering engine for the Mac...

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 17:17:20

I wonder how we could test?

I've just run it through all the MAC browsers on the site Martin posted and it's definitely a problem with FF it's OK in V2 but not V3.

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 17:54:48

Not much you can do, except report it to Mozilla, Ray.

Sebby · Apr 03, 2009, 23:52:51

They're probably busy working on some security holes.

Rik · Apr 04, 2009, 08:21:04

True.

Ray · Apr 04, 2009, 08:25:52

Quote from: Rik on Apr 04, 2009, 08:21:04

True.

In the MAC O/S you mean, Rik.

Steve · Apr 04, 2009, 08:30:59

Apple have a " holier than thou" attitude to issues like this

I know what I mean.

The problem here is that Apple will blame Mozilla, Mozilla will blame your coding.

Sebby · Apr 04, 2009, 12:44:06

I blame Mozilla, given that Safari works.

Simon · Apr 04, 2009, 14:03:01

Oi!

Bloody Mac fanboys!

Can you own a Mac and not be a fanboy?

I can make FF on WinXP truncate the email logo. If I press ctrl + which increases the page font size the email logo is as shown truncated as in the attached screenshot.

Like Ray I also use Serif Webplus to make some web pages and have noticed this effect before. Maybe something particular to the Serif product?

Ray, try the ctrl + strokes to increase your fontsize in FF and see if it happens to you too.

HTH.

you're right JB I can get the same effect, happens in IE as well, it looks like it is some peculiarity of WebPlus that's causing it.

Steve · Apr 05, 2009, 13:33:46

Probably would have been fine with iWeb

Rik · Apr 05, 2009, 15:37:25

Stirrer.
