Dastardly · 05 November 2002, 11:52

)
Any constructive comments are appreciated and maybe sign the guestbook while your there.

The Sanctum

The dark blue font is difficult to read against the black background...

A silvery Bitmap Bros look would be good!

Dastardly · 05 November 2002, 12:01

@cody
dunno why your seeing a blue font there. I created it with white.

CodyJarrett · 05 November 2002, 12:07

This is what it looks like in Opera!

Dastardly · 05 November 2002, 12:10

Hmm
What do you think is causing this as those blue links are a gold colour on mine (IE).

CodyJarrett · 05 November 2002, 12:17

You need to put the # in front of the hex colour code:

<a href="http://www.freewebz.com/thesanctum/About.htm" style="color:#FFCC00" style="text-decoration:none"><b>ABOUT THIS SITE</b></a><br>

e.g. "color:#FFCC00" instead of "color:FFCC00"

No probs here (IE). Anyway. Nice site, Dastardly.

Good idea re Spoiler!

Suggestions/criticism: any possibility of more screenshots? Shots from different levels would give people who are unfamilar with the games a wider impression of the visuals to expect. Not applicable to Speedball 2, of course. Maybe a hospitalisation shot for humour value.

Reviews are OK, if a little brief. Maybe also a little light on negative comment. Is there nothing bad to say about the Bitmap's finest?

BippyM · 05 November 2002, 12:22

Nice site m8ty,

I also get the blue writing though!

Dastardly · 05 November 2002, 12:36

@Cody+Bippy
How are the links looking now?

@Blackcornflake
I may possibly add more screenies at a later date but for now I like it as it is. They give an idea of what the game looks like while playing and thats what I was mainly after for now.
Yeah the reviews are a bit biased and lack any critisism but these are my honest opinions. I slag off how ugly the bitmap kid is, what more do you want!?

Thanks for the comments, keep em comin.

CodyJarrett · 05 November 2002, 12:46

Links look yellow now in Opera...

BippyM · 05 November 2002, 13:45

Looks fine now, the writing is yellow (Dark yellow) so I suppose it is looking fine (Yellow=Gold!)

Dastardly · 06 November 2002, 03:03

Xenon2 review added.

Any more ideas/suggestions to improve the site?

Paul · 06 November 2002, 10:30

To see some reviews?

All I get is a picture and a blank page

Paul · 06 November 2002, 10:33

Ahh found the text. I have to Highlight the text to see it.

Paul · 06 November 2002, 10:35

Right it's fine with XP's Microsoft Internet Explorer V6

Ian · 06 November 2002, 10:48

Do all the other review pages have the same problem Paul?

Paul · 06 November 2002, 10:49

@Ian
Yes

@dast
If you change:

Code:

<p><font size="2" face="Verdana" style=color:"#FFCC00">
<b>GODS</b><br><p></p>

to:

Code:

<p align="justify"><font face="Verdana"><font color="#FFCC00">
<b>GODS</b><br><p></p>

The text will then show in Netscape 7.

Hope I'm not interferring

Ian · 06 November 2002, 11:00

the problem seems to be (and forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm still half asleep

)

you need to write the style code like this for it to work in Nutscape/Mozilla or opera.

Style="color:#??????"

You'll need to change all these on your site Dast.

just search for Style=color:"

and replace it with

Style="color:

Problem solved

Ian · 06 November 2002, 11:59

Also lose your AOL email address from the site, unless of course you like spam

Setup a crappy yahoo account or something to be used with the site

Dastardly · 06 November 2002, 12:30

Right erm
I have to admit to being a bit confused by some of your suggestions.
If I make the changes suggested, will that mean that the txt will be visible to ALL? (using Opera/Nutscape/Mozilla/IE etc)

@Ian
Are you saying that the quotations need to be before color
like this?: style="color:#FFCC00">
I will try this on the Xenon2 review now, let me know if it still doesnt display properly.
The AOL email address was specifically setup for the site and is easily disposable.
@Kodoichi
I dont know what CSS definitions are yet, havent learned that part yet, hence the repeated defining of color and font. Still learning very basic HTML.
Thanks for the feedback guys
