Yup, I gotta say it looks absolutely cool now. What an improvement in looks!

Still reasonably easy to navigate, and loads of nice features often missing from similar websites all easily accessible. Big thumbs up!

Minor spoiler: the translucent note grafix below in the "NEXT LIVE SHOWS (Times in CET)" looks kinda messy under the text making it somewhat difficult to read. Maybe placing it right rather than the current left position would improve matters.

Thanks for the suggestion. Moved it to the right now, and it looks much better! ;)

... and Boz... ;) Boz GOOOOOOOOOD!

I just did the design, gave Boz a PSD and he built the PHP/HTML template and started to fill it with content, at which point I joined again and started to implement all those new features. =)

He worked me like a slave... a SLAVE I tells ya! Well actually it was more along the lines of "You couldn't help me with this, could ya?" and I said "Yeah whatever."

But the new site is definitely having the affect that we intended. User interaction was the key, and everyone's having a go, with all the votes and requests, and the Shoutbox is being well-used. just call him SlayGOD from now on ;)

User interaction, what a good choice of words. That's exactly the feeling you get when you enter the website. I think it's an exemplary website.

I still have some minor niggles though, the shoutbox doesn't automatically update.. I have to constantly hit "reload" which is somewhat annoying.

Yep.
Aware of this, and trying to find a solution - but it's a bit hard since -everything- you see on the page is... well... on the same page. ;>

Um. Can't say I have. Was logged in a few days ago, but didn't look around. I'll have a peek.
Although I imagine it won't help a whole lot, since our sites are not built the same way.

Ah well, anyway it works perfectly. Probably done with java I'm guessing. I think you have to be logged in to see it in action.

Just be sure it's compatible with older systems and browsers like Netscape on OS9 ;-) Tho I'm getting my Mac Mini in a few weeks, so no more OS9 for me at home.

LMan, recently requested your 5th Dream remix on SLAY, man that still rocks beyond belief.

Thanks for the flowers :)

IFRAME should work with most browsers, but may look crappy on Internet Explorer (because you can't switch off the borders there.) But who cares about IE anyway. ;)
