yep, but I now looked at it on IE here at work, a complete mess, you have the same on your IE Monkey..
we tested on FF Opera and Safari and that was perfect..... linux and Mac platform....

[Code Monkey]

Yes it's a bit wonkers on IE.

[Eric]

That little note down the footer has it's right , never thought it would be 'that' bad lol

[Code Monkey]

It might be ok in IE7 which is more compliant. Time to get your designer back to work.

He's still snorring right now, enjoying his last week holiday before he goes back to university.... but he's still on nightshift..... he's trying to migrate back to day shift

[Eric]

If you have comments, ideas. They are more then welcome in our forum or as comment in blog.

Is that why it was down last night?

Keep in mind to be carefull not to change a lot of path names if you don't want to lose that Page Ranking you just got.

[Code Monkey]

Also, are any of the following keywords that you are trying to market or get high ranking in google with?

"Follow this link to have a look and welcome to join the fun"

If not, then it's not a good idea to use them as keywords in links to your site. At any time.

I would also try to get those social bookmarks in a mouseover popup or some kind of frame like we have here. They look pretty ugly sitting out in the middle of white nothingness like that and they can distract the reader. Especially if they don't know what they are.

[Eric]

site was down since the powerbar from the server rack gave up, they had to change it, the rest is still a work in progress.
Jens and me have quite abusy agenda outside the website so it is bit by bit building. Basically from scratch for us. ANd we're still not sure how to adapt inside forum to the new idea. And when the server goes down, doesn't help to work

We'll take in consideration the remarks and try to implement something. Those social bookmarks are a plugin. We haven't cracked all code of wp yet, still figuring out how everything works to bent it to our goals. Already coded online users in there from vbulletin

Let the remarks fly, we're open to all suggestions, eager to learn.

Looks ok to me in IE7

[Eric]

The frontpart is ok for everyone, it is the skin on forum that looks a little wacko on IE6. Since IE7 is out, seems to be a lot better.
Jens has done a little test on latest browsers last week and came to the conclusion that IE7 was a progress and not a regress for Microsoft. And since it is, we say it...

Are you using a wordpress vbulletin integration? ncie site

[Eric]

thanks twitch,
both are not linked, we did take a few code bits from vBulletin and added it to wp... well my coder did. Still a work in progress

[twitch]

NP. I found it very cool since I run a few wordpress sites of my own and was thinking of vbulletin type integration in the future

[Code Monkey]

Part of my brain is pondering how to make WP post a discusion thread on a new WP post in vBulletin and then add the link to WP. So far it's only given me a headache. Sooner or later though...

[Eric]

ever thought about using the rss parts and your articlebot

[Code Monkey]

Nah, that would be the hard way to do it.
