thats very pretty, I've drawn designs for my sites before but never something to that extent. methinks that the moving photo might become a bit of a distraction (though i undsterand why you would want a moving one) maybe it only moves when the user has its mouse over it? that would be magical the 2 quick links sections might get a bit confusing; new users might wonder why the top quick linjs are different form their dog eared links. That's an awesome layout, I'm crying at it's beauty and have nothing more to say

using a color scheme tool should help with that, check out the resources sticky of the website critique forum

I'm wondering what can be done to expand the site: Will atricles about the internet and programming be wrtten? If so where will they be put? I see that there is lampgeeks and it is a fairly well designed site and wondering why netgeeks just has to be a forum.

ok everything is integrated now, what underlined text are you takling about? anybody else got anything?

what do you think of the series pages, is the layout okay etc etc... P.S. steve, as far as having the database nv in the green nav section, i have some restrictions because i include the entire div into the header, i know i could get around that but im too lazy.

i got rid of them thanks for doing that now before someone posted some less-tastefull material on it.

yeah i do that for a reason, but maybe i shouldn't.

well, i have a script that allows me to pick and coose who i allow to post(in case I just don't have a good feeling about a possible user), you still have the lowest level of userdom so you're not allowed to add/ edit articles except to the support forum. is there somehting i can do to not allow html in those posts?

clever steve, I tried bolding it to make it more obvious but your solution is better.

"The body text would be easier to read if you increased the line-height (say to 150%).  You might be surprised at how much difference that would make." Jesus! so that's how all of those sweet loking sites do it. I've known about line height fr ages, i jst never knew how muc h of a difference it made. Gratzi [s]Ill do the file sizse thing later[/s], in the mean time, anything else anyone? 

I went ahead and heeded what you siad, everything has the same style now. the carrtoon database is still a bit diferent as far as dimensions etc, but it still has the same look. The cartoons divs are fixed and look exponentially better. As far as making my own news thing I'm pretty happy with what I have, since it's not a blog i don't really care about what it does as far as design and archival, I just want to be able to display the latest news, and I'm toying with the idea of taking off the "ye olde news" link altogether. I am still open to more critiquing.

I posted my website about a month ago , back then I was in preparation for a move to a real domian, now I have it now. I changed a bit from the last time, heeding suggestions and I was wondering what you guys think of my design.  Also please check out the cartoon database, what you guys thought about that? [url=http://btcartoons.com]http://btcartoons.com[/url]

Thanks, it was a bit confusing but i figured it out form that page.

I want a user to be able to enter [[this]] into an article (for easy wikipedia style linking). The artivcle gets stored int he database. Then when someone views the article I want the server to change [[this]] into [code]<a href="this.php">this</a>[/code]Any Guru's know what I might do?

ok it worked thanks

i want to update an entire row of data in a DB heres what I'm trying in a nutshell $que = "UPDATE series SET (first_name, last_name, age) = ('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[age]') WHERE name = '$name'"; mysql_query("$que", $connection) or die('Error, query failed'); It dies, is my syntax right?

or you can use divs with background colors for bar graphs that are x% wide, for polls and such.

oh thats clever pixy, maybe version 0.2, it won't be implemented for a few months because i still have to work out some session issues and user authentication/ registration stuff anyway, what the first dude said worked but ill keep the UNIQUE thing in mind

im coding a database of cartoon series for my site, where users can sign up and add, edit, and do someother stuff with cartoons series, i have a page addseries.php and i have some problem code in the file: [code] ... $que = @mysql_query("SELECT series_title FROM series WHERE series_title = $_POST[title]"); if (mysql_num_rows($que) == 0) { $que = "INSERT INTO series (series_title, creator, begin_year, end_year, seasons, station , series_description ) VALUES ('$_POST[title]', '$_POST[creator]', '$_POST[begin_year]', '$_POST[end_year]', '$_POST[seasons]', '$_POST[station]', '$_POST[description]')"; @mysql_query($que, $connection); $spam = @mysql_query($que, $connection); if ($spam) {   echo "<p>Added series</p><br />"; }                                                    } else { echo "That series already exists in the database"; echo $add_series;                                                                 } ... [/code] the user supplies $_POST[title]', '$_POST[creator]', '$_POST[begin_year]', '$_POST[end_year]', '$_POST[seasons]', '$_POST[station]', '$_POST[description] (im lazy, i just did a copy and paste). i was testing the page with "captain planet" as $_POST[title], and i found that im able to continue adding as many "captain planets" as I want (I never get  "That series already exists in the database"). obviosly my code is not working, but I can't fgure out why. any of you wizards know what i'm doing wrong? ps im also getting "Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\omnibase\addseries.php on line 47" too

what errors? are you logged onto the DB? (using mysql_connect and mysql_select_db)

methinks $data["rep"] needs to be  {$data["rep"]} also are you afraid of escaping quotation marks or something? you could do that whole thing without periods

Not bad, thats incredibly simply and I should have been able to come up witht that, thanks for the speedy reply

on my site i include header.php, this page includes everything down to the unique content area for each page ("<div class="body">" is the last thing on the page.) unfortunately that means that the header is the same for every page and the title is the same as well. so my question is, can i use str_replace() in each page that I include the header page in and change the title for each page as well? If yes, then how? I hope that's clear enought to comprehend.

I redesigned the whole thing and put up the tenative version, I'd really like to know what you guys think of this new version as it is certainly still far from official. I tried to keep everyones comments in mind while designing this, and I even used the color scheme tool that's in the resourse post. Anyway, check it out, tell be you free, you guys are great. I'd also like to know what it's like in opera.
