my site (beta)

[tjhilder]

Hi,

here's my new site, (still in beta) since I'm planning to do more with it, but I want to know if you come across any errors (PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS etc) and feel free to test out the comments etc.

[a href=\"http://3-0.tjhilder.co.uk/home.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://3-0.tjhilder.co.uk/home.php[/a]

user: demo
pass: pass

(make sure you tick the 'remember me' box) I need to sort the session part out (which is what gets used if you don't tick the box) but it's not working right now so I think the sessions aren't being used for the right subdomain.

also, some links won't work as I've not finished creating the pages for them, but all the links on the top of the page should work, but feel free to play around with it.

let me know what you think overall, don't hold back lol (might live to regret that :P)

I like it. It looks nice. I was presently surprised. I think you need a soft, grey, or faded-dark-tanish (seeing as tan is your theme) border around those elements, the header, the content, posts, and navigation. Also, try creating your own icon for the gallery, that green OS X Zoom graphic does not fit. I'm thinking a dark-tan - like the border I suggested - circle filled in with the main tan color, and maybe if you want to get fancy, put a white plus in the middle of it, or something of the sorts.

Looks very decent: 8.5/10

yes, I tried it both ways.

[steviewdr]

The login works ok for me - after ticking the Remember Me box!

Anyhoo - onto the critique.
Well nice website and apperance - you cant beat putting a nice photo onto a website to help it along. I wouldn't mind seeing a change of photos - or random photos using the same theme.

As for the login - if you login with a wrong password - I get to see some SQL and it just begs me to try some SQL injection....

Your simple but effective Nav on the top right - well its a bit far away when looking at the gallery or news or members. Its either closer to go to my back button - bad idea, or to go all the way up to your top nav. - get the idea?

As for adding comments - it puts in the year 1970!!

If Im not logged in - and I go to the Gallery Section it says:
Notice
You must be a Registered Member and Sign in to view this area.

but you do not provide a URL/link in the text to Register/sign in. Well its just that Registered Member is underlined and I think its a link.

Anyways - nice and simple - a little buggy (login). Youve a nice bit to go - handling images etc.

Rgds,
steve

Competent but lacking ingenuity.

do you accept cookies? (if not then I gotta figure out why it won't let you sign in.)

do you mean changing the theme randomly? I was thinking of doing something like that, but not sure how to do it, so I'll have to do some search work to find out how to do it.

I'll sort that out, right now I've changed it slightly and taken out the mysql statement.

As you mentioned it, yea I do agree with that, i'll see what I can do.

this should be fixed now.
I also fixed the blank comment problem.

I've added the links, now I need to create the pages for them.

[steviewdr]

You need to limit the "Comments" - I just copied a fair amount of stuff in.

Having to Click "Remember Me" is still a pain. I do allow cookies - why should I have to click Remember Me - Id have it as default - and if I want your website to forget me - then Id provide a Logout button.

[jcombs_31]

funny, I just went back to the link and I appeared to be logged in. Seems like you have some issues with the login system. It must have sent the cookie, but didn't register before.

the reason I haven't got it set to default is that some people don't accept cookies, those that do can simply tick the box (you'll be logged in for 30 days unless you delete the cookie.) I'm thinking of making it so that you can set how long you want it stored for.

otherwise it would store a session until the browser closed but it's not working on that subdomain (although it's storing the session without a problem.) so I need to figure out why that is.

[/quote]

you're the only person to report that problem, so I dunno how it's my login system's fault :P I've had plenty people use it without trouble. what type of o/s, internet, browser are you using? maybe this will help me determine if and what the problem is.

Im using IE 6.
