MadMan's Shipyard

[MadMan1701A]

I thought I would post a link to the site I just got up.

It's the result of about 6 hours work (all today ), and I will be adding to it all the time.

The only bug it seems to have is something going on in safari. It works ok in other browsers... I have my logo down in the lower right corner, and it's background color is not quite the same as the page background, even though the color is identical. It works fine in IE, and Firefox.

Criticism is welcome.

Your website is currently under a 'review' by your host so is inaccessible.

I would beg however, the you try to upload any models you have done if you have not yet done, including getting permission where you must for conversions.

I would very much enjoy to use your work.

 

[Lashmore]

Now that the sites no longer under review and I've had a chance to see it, nicely done.

I like what I see, though I would suggest possibly a gallery for your abramised Miranda class as well?

sure, I'm going to have one of those.

I just ran out of time last night. Having to sleep is annoying, at times.

Hey MadMan, looked at your site. COOL

I strongly suggest adding "alt" tags to your link button images. If those images fail to load, the site becomes very difficult to use. This is a frequently encountered usability issue with web sites.

If you want to ensure the web site renders the same in all browsers (well, at least as close as possible), consider looking into making the pages HTML 4.01 Strict compliant.

EDIT1: You also have the following code on your pages:

<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/fpclass/animate.js">

</script>
I don't think this is going to work given the path of the JS file. But the site seems fine without whatever the script is supposed to do.

If the image galleries get longer, consider putting a "back to top" link at the bottom.

OK, I'll look into that.

I will definitely add the link to the bottom of the galleries.

I wonder what that code is doing... I'll remove it.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Ah, I know why that code was there. I am using FrontPage (ack, I know.) and it sticks it in there when I preview the page in program, so that the javascript works. It doesn't need that, on server.

 

[Vance]

Yeah, one reason I gave up on FrontPage some time ago is the amount of crap it likes to throw into web-pages when you upload them. You may do better just direct-uploading.. but then you might get a site like mine that looks painfully amateur. :S

I love the re-imagined USS Reliant design.

 

[MadMan1701A]

That's what I'm doing.

I basically just use Frontpage to lay out the tables and stuff, and I use some of the DHTML stuff in there, because it's fast and easy.

I then upload it via FTP.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks.

I need to re-visit that one, and work on the windows and stuff a little. It has a few problems that I am not happy with.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Ok, so the free hosting wasn't so good.

I have a new host, and I am now at:

www.madshipyard.com

I totally re-did the graphics, too.

OK, all pages have content now.

Let me know how it looks, and if I screwed anything up.

There appears to be something wrong with the kelvin RAR.

I have tech support looking at it. Most times, the file does not download completely.

Not sure what the problem is...

 

[trekjiro]

I just saw this Madman. Very cool. Nice job! I'm trying to do something similar myself. Nice job on the modeling and overall.

 

[Partsking]

Dude. That's a sweet site. Good job!

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks.

I think they got the file downloads thing worked out. I was able to download all my stuff today, without a problem.

Dude. That's a sweet site. Good job!

The Kelvin archive still has an error. It says:

! C:\Documents and Settings\Kaziarl\Local Settings\Temp\MM_Kelvin.zip: Unexpected end of archive

and

! C:\Documents and Settings\Kaziarl\Local Settings\Temp\MM_Kelvin.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

same thing with nuEnterprise, so now its possibly just my pc acting up.
