[quote:3fw4o8xz]I couldn’t figure how to track down their IP address though[/quote:3fw4o8xz]

Yea their IP won’t be logged unless you have IP logging turned on through the server, you can get scripts to log IP’s and those same scripts will usually block them as well. If you have a script somewhere to track how many hits etc you get that might track IP’s as well.

Website update:

The forum now has a CAPTCHA thingy, that’s a fuzzy image which you need to enter to register for the forum.

The forum is also in the process of having the main website’s menu and header integrated into it. That way you’ll be able to seamlessly navigate your way from the forum to the main website. It currently looks a little goofy as the main site has a different width than the forum, but I’m working on that problem – will be fixed in time.

Header/menu is now the correct width ” title=”Smiley” /> Or more to the point, the forum has been shrunk to the width of the header/menu.

The main menu buttons for the website haven’t prove to be very popular. The problems are apparently to do with the font not being very readable and the black on red causing problems for some people (slight colour blindess issues).

Here’s some examples of potential new menu buttons. Let me know what you think. The Ones I prefer the most are the second and third ones from the top (the top one is the current design).

The outer glow would be present for ALL of the buttons and I’d either add an even brighter glow for the active one or highlight the entire button. The mouseovers will possibly have the same look as the active button – this isn’t decided yet and if you have an opinion on the issue then let me know. There’s a billion different fonts out there so feel free to suggest another one. The fonts below can also be stretched, made bold, italicised, pretty much anything you can think of so feel free to suggest modifications to the existing ones too.

Random info: the third one is based on the font from the Swatch watch company, the fourth one is based on the font of Gilligans island and the last one is the font from Evanescence.

cheers,

i like the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th from the top best, but they’re all nice

[imported_Ryan]

Thanks for the tips. I’ve chosen the third one.

I’ve updated the home page, and the rest of the pages in the main part of the site are updated except for the active page buttons which I need to go through and change for each page. I’ll get onto that tomorrow hopefully. The forum will need to updated manually as well.

Not sure I like the new style though, doesn’t gel well with the rest of the site, but oh well. I might change it again at a later date, but we’re stuck with it for the mean time.

I decided I hated the new menu so have ditched and put the old one back in again.

Pain in the butt though, the changeover took quite a lot of work ” title=”Sad” />

One legged, stuck at home, unable to escape = nothing bettter to do ” title=”Sad” />

Ryan,

[Chris]

You’re not supposed to say that, you know. The idea is to pretend you’re just dedicated to doing your bit for ice hockey, and are willing to sacrifice your own free time for the sake of others.

Seriously, the girls love that sort of thing ” title=”Cheesy” /> .
