New and improved perhaps ??

There is a main page?

**3fingersalute** · December 16th, 2004, 01:45 PM

Yeah, but dont try to open it right now on your blackberry, it will scroll forever!

I just took a quick glance at the source for the homepage. It looks like they are still using tables to format all that with? And javascripts. Hmmm. Tables can be a bit problematic to deal with, especially for a site this large. I've been using DIV tags and CSS for the stuff I make. Much more control over where stuff goes and much cleaner looking than tables. It looks like some stuff got moved around on the homepage and it's gonna be a pain in the rear to put it all back where it belongs if they stick with this older style of page design. Looks like Richard has his work cut out for himself.

PS: All those additional font tags, etc. just bog down the page load time btw. You could easily shrink down the size of that whole homepage by quite a bit if done right.

Maybe they are freeing that space up for more ads??

Yikes! More ads.

Either way, I think they need to clean up the homepage. It's like random tables everywhere with no particular order.

ugghhh..............that IS poo-poo!!

no wonder I stopped hittin' that page.

**geoscomp** · December 16th, 2004, 02:57 PM

well, it was ok till about three days ago..now it's all left justified instead of center justified...so it's a lot longer than it used to be..also the typeface in the article section has changed..I hope this is the beginning of a better look, but somehow.......

Yeah, probably wouldn't hurt for a site focusing on Drivers and IT services to have proper source codes.

Sort of like going to the dentist, and the dentist greets you at the front door with a mouth full of yellow and missing teeth.

Before it went all jacked up, I visited the main page everyday for news and reviews as well as the new drivers
