bullsh**, when someone wants to make a website they always find out about CSS.

[emmetmcl]

No they dont, there are loads of WYSIWYG programs out there that people dont need to know any of the technical stuff.

Dont get me wrong, I appreciate your trying to help me but you dont have to be wanker while doing it.

[T.K.]

No, not bullsh**. I had to teach Chris about the magic of CSS, even though I do not know it. Thank God yoshifan1 was there to help me.
Chris: YOU CAN JUST EDIT THE HTML!
Me: Uh, no, not really.

Also, I don't appreciate emmet using the slogan "THE WORLD'S BIGGEST DRIVER FANSITE!" because that title should go to either Driver-Dimension or Driver Madness. Ultimate Driver just fails, I'm sorry. And don't get me wrong, Driver Tools probably fails too.

[emmetmcl]

I understand what you mean, but I don't refer to it as in how many visitors it has, which is actually quite a few, but everythign combined.

For example:
-Site size, literally, fills the whole screen, and is actually even wider
-Amount of content
-Visitors
-Stuff like that.

Fair enough, it's kinda cheating to say that, but it is technically true.

I'll tell you what Doom, you wanna just stop this fighting now?

[Fireboyd78]

Sure, but I will never stop saying your site fails.

[emmetmcl]

Yeah mate, okay, you think my site is bad. OK, you don't have to keep saying it, but can you not refer to it all the time?

[emmetmcl]

OK, I tried to get on here earlier and see what Dr. Doom had posted about the CSS thing, anyway, I couldn't get onto the site for some reason. I'm actually using a proxy right now.

Anyway, I tried to address his 2 complaints:
-Uncentred text
-Blue background

1. UNCENTRED TEXT
After a while I realised why it wasn't working, I was typing in ''centre'' to adjust the position. But it should be spelt ''center'', the US spelling, not the UK spelling. I got that sorted.

2. BLUE BACKGROUND
After a bit more messing around, I managed to stop the website being wider than the browser size if you know what I mean. Anyway, I couldn't change the blue background, but you don't see it anymore anyway, well, you do when the header is loadding, but apart from that you don't.

So, I got everything sorted, but when I publish the site, it won't show up properly in the published version.
Just want to make sure this isn't only me.

So, is the writing just under the header, i.e. Home, Forums, News, Fan Games, Contact Us centred or to the right for everyone else?

[bb_42001]

i still see the blue, but because my screen resolution is bigger, and all the test looks centred

[emmetmcl]

Yeah, its working fine for me now too.

I opened the site in a proxy and it was all centred. Then I tried it in Google Chrome and it was centered.
I deleted my cookies and cache in Firefox and now it looks okay too.

Yeah, I can still see the blue too, but I couldn't change it without changing the background colour behind the text at the top of the page too.

Anyway, do you only see the blue when the page is loading or all the time?

[emmetmcl]

A bit of blue is still appearing at the side on the Forums page for some reason.

Is this the same for everyone else?

[bb_42001]

all the time, to the right of the banner, but thats because you made the banner to your screen resolution, not mine,

[emmetmcl]

Ah right.

Sorry if it's annoying, I don't want to change it now as more people have lower resolution monitors than you, so I'm going to just leave it for now anyway.

PS, like the new buttons with the Driver font.

[Fireboyd78]

The shoutbox turned into the "Shoutbox Administrative Panel"

epic fail lol

[bb_42001]

Doom, shut up or i will have to spank you.

[Fireboyd78]

[bb_42001]

yes that's exactly what i will do to you.!

[emmetmcl]

DD, I thought we said we'd stop fighting, if you have nothing positive to say, please say nothing.

However, if you do have something constructive to say, please do so.
Although, when telling me this, you don't also have to add ''fail'', or ''bullsh**'' or whatever. You can tell me the problem without being rude.

Also, can someone who sees the blue on the homepage send me a screenshot of it, either here or to my e-mail, emmetmcl@yahoo.ie

Thanks.

-PS, Dr Doom: I can't help that it shows the Admin control panel, it was probably just because I wasn't logged in.

[emmetmcl]

Also, I got the domain http://www.ultimatedriver.net last night too.

You can now get to the site by either using http://www.ultimatedriver.net, or you can also use ultimatedriver.co.cc if you want.

[Fireboyd78]

woops double post

[Fireboyd78]

Look emmet, you need to edit the CSS file to fix your blue background problem. First of all, go to the files directory, and open up "main_style.css"

Now, look for this line:

Code: Select all

#logo{ color:#111; position:relative; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px 10px 0px 0px; height:230px; font-size:2.5em; text-align:right; background:url(/uploads/2/0/2/3/2023228/9066419.png?490570) no-repeat #87ADD2; } 

Change it to this:

Code: Select all

#logo{ color:#111; position:relative; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px 10px 0px 0px; height:230px; font-size:2.5em; text-align:right; background:url(/uploads/2/0/2/3/2023228/9066419.png?490570) no-repeat #000000; } 

[emmetmcl]

OK, I was only changing anywhere I saw colour.

Anyway, is it okay for people now?

[Fireboyd78]

Yay, now I don't have to b*t*h anymore!

[emmetmcl]

Thank f**k for that LOL

What else is wrong with the site?

[Fireboyd78]

Nothing really, that's all I had a problem with, and you already fixed the text-alignment problem, so all is good now.

[emmetmcl]

Good. So can we stop fighting now then?

[Driver of DOOM]

No, Emmet smells!

[emmetmcl]

F**k you, you Geordie c**t!!!





















Nah, only joking.

[emmetmcl]

OK folks.

I've added adverts to the site, but they should only be there for a while, a month at the most.
This is because I need money for something to do with the site.
I can't say what it is right now, but it'll hopefully be something that you'll enjoy.

Anyway, I've added banner ads, but there aren't too many of them andf they're not overly intrusive either.
But, if you could click on a few if you have nothing else to do, that'd be great. LOL
