The page looks abit odd...like candi said i wouldn't go for a brown and blue...and ive always been one to advocate short and to the point writing. Most ppl, i believe, couldn't be bothered reading paragraphs of stuff.

Thanks for the in depth critique. What you brought up was really helpfull and you gave me some stellar ideas for making the site better. I quite enjoyed the minimised or simple header idea. The buildings at time of day was also quite great. The site is actually an engineering forum(civil mainly) that allows the users(student at my uni) to interact outside of their usual groups. It allows ppl to ask questions of ppl they would usually not interact with. Students can also see old reoprts and formats that they usually wouldnt see. The main aim is to help members fill in the gaps that the uni creates. I was wondering if you were anygood at php and mysql. Wouldnt mind picking you brain about a mod i have in mind.

That was great...i kinda guessed it would have to be something to do with a database. If i might ask another question. Is it possible for me to specify a time period to display an image. So if it was between 10.00 and 10.59 it would display image 1. If it were 11.00 to 11.59 it would display image 2 else display default ?

I found one that searched to see if the variable was what was specified and an image could be displayed. But im guessing from that answer im going to have to keep searching?

hey guys, I am a total noob and appologies for this next question, but i was wondering how you could, with php, assign a value of 1 to a field in the mysql database. Then what sort of code would i need to read the field and if value = 1 then display an image. The context in which i wish to use it: I have a phpbb and the global announce feature doesnt stand out enough for me so im keen on having a mod that displays an image to the user that says 'New Announcment' and on clicking the announcement the value := 0 and they cant see it anymore. Any help would be great. Also, how would one := all users a 1 value and then on click just assign the individuals field a 0 value. lqd h1vem1nd.org

Hey guys, im fairly handy at photoshop and know my way around the coding, but it would be nice to get feed back from my peers. My site is quite successful so far amongst the students at my uni, and that all i really want, but i strive to make the experience of using the site more and more enjoyable. the site is http://www.h1vem1nd.org and you can use the username: Test password: TestTest It is phpbb and the coffetime theme. i have added a chat mod, karma and a rotating banner(with im trying to change to rotate hourly) Feed back from you guys would be great.

I totally agree with the above statement. It looks like its made for individuals with poor vision. I would start by making the fonts a bit more uniform. And the text box and buttons normal size. I read what the site is about...and to be honest i think blogging, facebook, myspace(especially) are all on the way out. We are being bombarded daily with rants from others an i think most ppl are tired of this. I dont even think word press is used for bloggin anymore, rather a platform for announcements on not bloggin sites. Good luck with yours anyway.

I would suggest not making it to light. You have light blue and white and then Black. Your site literally makes me not want to read it. With you entries try alternating the colours so it doesnt look like one long read. Its well designed an the only other thing i can see is that the text boxes and buttons could use a bit of css

Well ill give this a go, how many years did you spend at college? I say this only because it seems to me like you might not be as confident as you should be. You have to much stuff going on...rollover is okay to use, but i wouldnt suggest your approach. I have attached a picture of how i would change your site. http://lqd.deviantart.com/gallery just encase you think im full of it. And most of that was done when i was 16,17,18.

Hi guys, i have an issue with a code im using on a phpbb site. This code rotates the headers perfectly fine, but, i dont want it to constantly change. I would prefer the banner stay in play for an hour then change randomly and remain for another hour. Below is the code i currently use. The site links to this page to rotate the header. <?php /* By Matt Mullenweg > http://photomatt.net Inspired by Dan Benjamin > http://hiveware.com/imagerotator.php Latest version always at: http://photomatt.net/scripts/randomimage */// Make this the relative path to the images, like "../img" or "random/images/". // If the images are in the same directory, leave it blank. $folder = ''; // Space seperated list of extensions, you probably won't have to change this. $exts = 'jpg jpeg png gif'; $files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables if ('' == $folder) $folder = './'; $handle = opendir($folder); $exts = explode(' ', $exts); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension if (preg_match('/\.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive $files[] = $file; // it's good ++$i; } } } closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2 $rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila! ?> I have been thinking it over and cant really come up with a 1 page solution like the above code. Im not sure if it would have to be time based or not. Any help would be awesome. Lqd To see the logo change - http://www.h1vem1nd.org

Hey everyone, great forum, hopefully it will help me expand my knowledge of php
