I've been working on a new layout of my site for a few weeks now as time permits, and until now I've only had a select few give feedback. However, I've since decided to open it up to the general publich here.
<BR>
<BR>The reason being is I want a wide variety of people looking at it and testing it with different browsers and systems. The more eyes, the better. Also, I don't want it to be a big shock to you folks when I do switch.
<BR>
<BR>With that said, I don't want to here any complaining about how you don't like the new layout. Too bad. <IMG SRC="/images/smilies/deprecated/sm_smile.gif"> There is so much more going into this than just layout. One of the main reasons for the change is I'm rewriting all the code and organizing everything. It'll allow for much quicker updates and more flexibility.
<BR>
<BR>The url for testing the new site is <!-- BBCode u1 Start --><A HREF="sandbox.mordel.net" TARGET="_blank">sandbox.mordel.net</A><!-- BBCode u1 End -->. Your logins here will work there as well. There isn't a whole lot yet, but I've generally tried to get something new for testing up every 7-10 days or so, regardless of how minor.
<BR>
<BR>Since I last posted, I've made the following changes.
<BR>
<BR><ol>
<BR><li>Added Search functionality to Electronic Request System</li>
<BR><li>Modified how Audit History works in Electronic request System. An Audit record is created for each item. You can view audit data for items by clicking on the paper stack associated with that item.</li>
<BR><li>Modified Player Database so if you currently have an entry linked to your user account; those settings for Country, State, City, First Name and Last Name will also be imported into your new account. This will allow for roughly five dozen or so users to already have this information supplied for use in the Player Database.</li>
<BR><li>Modified Player Database so you can click on a username to view their profile (Profile viewing currently not setup)</li>
<BR><li>Finished work on Lottery --> 5 Houses Drawing section.</li>
<BR><li>Finished work on Lottery --> Keno</li>
<BR></ol>
<BR>
<BR>Take q uick peak and let me know what you think and if you find anything wrong. Currently the only things to look at are Registration, Login/Logout, Player Database, Lottery and the Electronic Request System. I'll add more as I go. Any changes to existing systems will be posted here.
<BR>
<BR>Have fun. Let me know if there are questions.

What do you mean by Site Navigation tool? The menu in the middle? Not much there at the moment, but it will be added upon as I create the various sections.

Or do you mean the icons to the Left/Right of the menu?

Scrolling on the page seems to be a bit sluggish for me.

Looks good. Very modern. Only problem is no pictures of me! Every good website needs atleast one, (preferably more) pictures of your's truly!

What are your system, OS, and browser specs? I've not had any slow scrolling on it as of yet, on any of the 3 comps and 5 browsers I tried it on

For the most part, everything works perfect in all 5 browsers. Had a couple issues using Opera under Linux... but I had the same issues with a few other boards using similiar layout.. so likely its Opera. These issues concern the menu, and they happen on this version of the site as well.

It's a little sluggish for me as well. Not enough to make me dislike it though. The reason for the sluggish scrolling is the transparency setting which allows the background image to bleed through the page. Transparency uses memory, and my system is 7 years old or so. I've only got 384 megs of RAM. So I'm betting your system isn't much better than mine. My work laptop (which is obviously much newer) works fine.

It's the same menu system, just implemented differently, so that doesn't surprise me. Wonder what Opera doesn't like about it. Can you tell me what it does? Maybe email me some screen shots?

Backround picture is hardcore Mordel, I really like it. I look foreward to seeing it ratified.

Been to it a couple times now and I like it alot. Would like to see a bit more color but that is ok.

Couple questions though.
1. Is the new site going to have a custom vehicle TRO (like mechs)
2. Is there plans for a Warship Tro at any time?
3. And will our custom Avatars just move right over as well?
