  1. That is the definition of tabular data...
  2. Tables have been regarded as the bastardized way to do layout for a website for several years. Look up CSS. Tables are meant for tabular data, not defining presentation.
  3. Do me a favor, don't use profanity in thread titles, even if it is "edited". Don't you have an email from the company?
  4. I'm not going to beat a dead horse here, but I echo the sentiments of the other staff that have posted in the thread.
  5. I don't know how much the second part would require of the mod... you could ask Jay if he was still around. The first one might be cool but would probably be very skewed. I'd login and run the query against the DB but I don't really have time at the moment. However, I did do a search for threads with [sOLVED] in the title and it returned about 1100... which is a measly 4%.
  6. Unsubscribe from what? The only thing we have is a feed... which you would just disable in your rss reader. Either that or go into your profile and remove any subscriptions to any threads.
  7. I was able to lock it up hard yesterday... with my beautiful coding... I wrote a crappy for loop in an AJAX app of mine and all of a sudden the browser was using 350 Mb of RAM and it locked up. Opera handled it nicely, however.
  8. Please look in the Misc board. There is a huge thread about books.
  9. 1 work laptop 1 personal laptop that we have on the first floor of the house to use for random surfing and email 2 desktops upstairs... one is mine, one is my wifes... but hers is sitting there doing nothing and we both use mine at the moment.
  10. It may be something on their end blocking it or something in the URL is screwed up. How are you getting $url filled? If you echo the $url var each time, is it returning a valid url?
  11. The main reason we haven't done competitons is the lack of judging effort and the lack of prizes. I'm not going to throw another competition up until I have dedicated judges and a decent prize to award. And if we need to continue to discuss ranks (and I think we're beating a dead horse), we can move it to another thread... m'kay?
  12. Having a position of power here does not equate to brain power. In most cases it does, but in a lot of cases it means you've proven your worth and you can get stuff done. Hell, I probably haven't answered a help question on this board in close to 6 months. But someone has to do the administrative tasks and make decisions.
  13. Typically I'd tear you apart on this site but I'm going to guess that it's all about the shots of the bird and as long as the rest of the site works, who cares, right? I will give you some feedback, however: 1) Gradient city - you use way too many. You would be better off coloring the various lists at the bottom in different colors. 2) The counters and "page last updated" typically don't interest anyone but the person developing and maintaining the website. I'd remove them. 3) The "news" entries could use a bigger font. There is a lot to read and you should make it easy on the eyes. Also, white text on a black background is NOT easy to read for most. 4) Some pics have the camera/date taken, others do not. To be consistent, I'd have it all or none (unless you don't have the information on some). 5) Use a picture as the background of the main header... it will look much sharper than that awful color thingy you have there now. 6) Be consistent with the color scheme. You have some orange color at the top, purple at the bottom... yellow/black/blue/... there's no consistency in colors. Hopefully this might give you some ideas on where to improve.
  14. I'd say 83K is pretty damn good for a PHP position... considering that we're almost a dime a dozen anywhere you look.
  15. Heh... that's what I was going to post but I couldn't be bothered at the time. I thought I'd get clarification so I wouldn't have to type as much.
  16. I'm sorry I didn't post something more useful, but the site has no outstanding qualities that make it any different from any other clan site. What is there to critique? For all we know it's a template! And FYI, you cannot critique without bias. That's asinine.
  17. Actually, we did have that here at one point. It was very short-lived, however.
  18. We ran out of disk space and had to restore. Unfortunately we lost a little data. We're trying to make sure that won't happen again.
  19. Yikes. No color scheme, no defined layout, no flow. Try again.
  20. Congrats. You've made a clan site that matches the general idea of every other clan site on the net. Recipe for a clan site: 1) Add "scary" graphic 2) Use a lot of black mixed with some neon colors 3) Throw in a few gradients for kicks 4) Make the font really small 3/10 for an overall score. I hate clan sites.
