We recently moved all our weBlogs and forum over to a .co.uk domain, with a little touching up still to do of the weBlogs. The forums however are in full working order, accessible via bunker.firepretty.co.uk, with the blogs being accessible via [url]www.firepretty.co.uk,[/url] with full access mysteriously limited to Firefox users at present (we're working on it.)

Anyways here's a quick and crap trailer I mocked up. The low quality one is about 200k and the high quality one is 1.2 Mb.

By the way, before anyone asks, we're not a pro-Commie site or anything, it's just all in the theming of it. If you want the full standpoint on all of that, read:

The concept of a trailer for a website makes my head spin.

*spins*

Nice though, I guess.

Bad wording I suppose - let me rephrase it... propaganda that we'll spam over the school network!

How hard is it to make a website that works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer?

A couple of points:

- If a site is under construction, don't put it up
- Don't do the bit where you tell people what resolution to run it at and what browser, it's your job as designer to make it work in as many browsers as possible. The current trend for resolution requirements is that a fixed design has a width of 700 and a liquid design has a minimum width of 700. You can all but ignore 640x480 these days, but 800x600 is still used by a few.

I understand that you're trying to make it work in IE, but as a general point every designer should obey the following:

It's fine to enhance a design for browsers which support the latest (and even prototype standards, some of the stuff in CSS3 is pretty useful but no browser fully supports this standard yet), but you should always make sure your design is usable (and reasonably presentable) in IE6 at the very least (technically IE5 as well, but IE6 support can be done without any hacks). Any website designer that intentionally stops IE users from seeing their site should be shot immediately.

What Detty said.

hehe tmu got plugged. wh00tage.

buuut anyways... guess its okay, but its just a bunch of text titles with fading transitions, then some images with the same transitions.. the site is cool, but yeah, what detty said.

[edit]omfg i have a custom title. awesome.[/edit]

Well no use burning me about it, I didn't make the site - I'll pass your comments on to the guy who put his heart and soul into writing it at every waking hour though and tell him he should be shot.

Yeah this was really just a prototype since I've never used MovieMaker before. I'm aiming now to have footage of tanks rolling along and AK-47s being fired and phat stuff like that!

Not only does the site work in IE for me, but it has some IE only features (colored scrollbars).

And yeah, sites need to work in IE. Something like 90% of internet users use IE.

Here are my site's last few visitors, you can see the browser names on 'em.

Note that the connections from inetb11.enc.edu are me, and thus don't count. :p

That is REALLY weird - I'd like a screenie if you don't mind. On another note, I've rehauled this trailer and made it look a bit better, upload soon.
