Nice!

The logo at the top is awesome. The site loads fast (unlike mine, :oops: )and works great! Just a more graphical elements and it will be awesome. Oh btw, is that ad suppose to be in the middle or did I change my IE settings again...

I don't think there's anything wrong with the address, seems normal to me.

Oh btw, how does one do a search function for one's site. I'm trying to do one for mine. Preferably something easy. I know how to search for elements in java and in sql but to get it to work on a site. Hmm.... using asp? Or not necessary?

Thanks, it was just a quick throw together using PhotoShop

LOL. It uses the Smarty Template engine, which is very fast. And the server is a fast server.

What kinda graphical elements?
neon wrote:Oh btw, is that ad suppose to be in the middle or did I change my IE settings again...
Yes it is, if i place it at the top the site looks really bad.

I found a PHP search script, it looks into your html files for the string (Doesn't help when the entire site is in SQL). I'm going to write a SQL/PHP search script soon (As soon as my exams are over), i'll tell you when it's done.

Edit: Just fixed the quotes

Click on "troop" then "back to home", EASY!

Well, it better :P Thats what i did most of the testing on!

Well, i kinda just copied the ad from the hosters (It's a requirement) and haven't bothered changing the colour (I have now)

Yeah, mine doesn't load slow 'cos of ther server. My server is also fast, just I have too much flash elements and all take up about 200K each. He he.
jedi wrote:What kinda graphical elements?
Umm.. like flash buttons, little applets, maybe some nice little photoshop icons for down the side bar. Just ideas.

Have you got a link for that PHP search script. Can I make it search for files as well? I need do some serious work on my site as well, after exams. :)

Um, i don't think its long. And its not a "redirection company" its a professional hosting service that offers a free service on the side lines (They started as a free hosting service) URL: http://www.ineedhosting.net And last year they had an uptime of 99% (This includes a 4 hour long DoS attack against them)
zoopedup wrote: why dont u spend R80 a year and get a .com / .net? add a profesional touch..
Cause we don't got R80 a year. We're a non-profit organisation whose annual income is about R2000

@Neon:
The reason i don't have those "graphical elements" is:
1. I can't stand flash buttons
2. I can't stand little applets
3. I haven't had the time to fiddle in photoshop yet
And imho flash/applets make a site slow and makes it look unprofessional.

I'll set up a site after the exams with all of my scripts on, and i'll post it here, once i've done my search script i'll post it there too. I have no idea where i found the script, just google for "Free PHP Scripts" and look at some of those sites, i'm sure you'll find something there.

cool bro thats gr8.... i must admit is isn to long but it is hard to remember "ws4f.us" could confuse a few ppl... the domain reminds me of a spammers email addie....

this is just my opinion ....good luck with your site. :D

How about trying some other redirection services if you really cant afford a domain. www.dot.tk has proved to be "reliable" and very short/easy to remember.. use it dont use it 8)

like www.irenetroop.tk (however, it does add a banner popup to ya site)

JEdiWaNNaBE just check your spelling / grammar, for example

"This page provide all the information that" - "S" missing from Provide

or

"Well done for find this site" - should be finding....

Just my thoughts....
