The Little Guy Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I just got my site one the web!

AXiSS Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have to question the reason behind the picture of the dog, and the red underline on hyperlink rollover.

Philip Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah, the pictures are nice for a family website... but not file hosting.Agreed with the red underline. Also, on your registration, you still need to check to see if it fits the criteria before searching to see if the username exists. Ex: I put in "king" and it said "that name is available.. blah blah...." It would be nice to have something to see if it fits the criteria, so when they click on "check name" that it would tell them.

The Little Guy Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 The dog is my dog, and I had pictures, so i used them.I don't understand what you mean about fitting the criteria, if its too short it will say so, if it is too long it will say so, otherwise it will say name is available, or name is taken. "king" was valid since it was 4 char, while "kid" is invalid.What type of pictures would you have expected? I could then try to get some.For the red underline, would you rather it be white like the text?

AXiSS Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I would expect some kind of picture advertising why you should use your site or something. Not dogs and christmas trees. Maybe some kind of file icon or tree folder system.As for hyperlinks, I usually just have an underline of the same color appear under the text on rollover. Navigation I would make the text a different color on rollover and no underline.

Philip Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sorry, was looking password, not username. *smacks head*I agree with AXiSS on the types of photo (if you use any) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33552-tzfiles/#findComment-159053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 it does need a general tidy up, and as has been mentioned, the dog picture needs to be something more relevent to what you're doing.overall, it just seems a little bland and needs more to keep a potential user interested.Also, there is no "proper" validation on your forms.

jcombs_31 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I don't understand any of the main images you are using. The folder icon should extend over the border IMO, would be nice. I don't like it cut off. It is very white with a lot of empty space, especially the background, that needs fixing. A simple pattern or color may help. Your registration form needs some spacing between fields, everything is cramped.

The Little Guy Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 OK, I took some of your suggestions and changed it, I haven't yet gotten to those images you all are talking about yet though (dog, x-mas tree, etc.).This isn't just a file host, it is also an image host.you can use the demo if you would like (there is more stuff inside i would like tested/looked at):username: demopassword: demo12 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33552-tzfiles/#findComment-159428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I didn't spend too much time on your site, but the first thing that I saw is that the overall size of your logo is too big and the white background of the image is going down into your gradient so it looks like there is a big chunk missing. If you make it a transparent gif, or crop it a little it should do the trick.-Chris Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33552-tzfiles/#findComment-159467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXiSS Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 OK, now the folder logo is covering up the text logo, and if the dog and tree lights photos weren't bad enough, I just came across "braces girl" and the picture looking up someone's nose.

The Little Guy Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 OK, i think that I fixed the folder logo, I tested it in 1024x786, and my normal resolution:1280x1024, and they looked fine.I still need some pictures for my content area now (They are just placeholders)...I like something like this http://photobucket.com/but I don't want to do that because it will be copying.

The Little Guy Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 I did want to allow people to upload them, I just didn't want them to be able to run on the server, I wanted people to have to download them in order for them to work.I can't figure out how to do this though. I tried to chmod them, It worked, but then the php file wouldn't open in the online editor.I would like to know how to fix that issue, I made a post about it in the forms:http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,121914.0.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33552-tzfiles/#findComment-160275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
