SITE REVIEW: expatsworld.sytes.net

well i hope u are all happy, you have made me work very hard !!

go see !!

wow he changed the rollovers. one thing I'll say - they are actually an improvement. (I won't go into how grand an improvement exactly). but take a look at this..... weird, no? don't you look at it and think 'weird'??

I think a moderator needs to step in. Is there such a thing as Web Police? LOL.

whine whine whine, maybe ya need some cheese with that whine!!

Ok i admit it the site is held together by duct tape ; go see

Am supposed to be scripting not fiddling with minro details

Those minro details can make all the difference

ha ha ha ha the duct tape is the first thing I like
brill. really.

one more thing i noticed - the top nav links look a lot better before the tab images (blue marble thing on left, purple horror on right) load. when it's just a nice flat gray bar with nice readable white text. I'd take off all the tab images.

listen, on a general note - i have to admit to feeling a sort of morbid fascination with this site and this thread. and it's been loads of fun playing hide and seek with you (and I do admire the boyish charm hiding behind all the annoying smartassedness) but I think I've done what I can here... our purpose really wasn't to get you to admit you suck - we merely wanted to bring the site back to earth I suppose. but something's telling me it's got as close as it's gonna get............

so I consider my task completed zaiah, do you concur?

Where have you been Celandine? LOL. You're my hero! Yeah I'm done commenting.

people people you did it !!! you forced me to make it the best it can be

1. you wanted bigger fonts. tick
2. blending rollovers. tick

of course you didnt tell me about the extraneous input boxes, unbalancing on the navigation, and u didnt tell me the color contrast.

u hated the colored menus so they are gone

My radio stays of course

well people, you have messed with me and i really have had a creative spurt

come see the site and tell me the speed, i have re update cfos so it still detecting connections

basically 3 "color" skins used on the site so they might be slow loading 40kb css each

NEVER MESS WITH THE DUDE'S RADIO

PS. a check on IE would be nice as well

Wow - interesting site.

To be brutally honest, your site hurts my eyes. I agree with all the previous design pointers - I believe the colour scheme is odd, not fun - and it makes it hard to keep the page open.

I would change the rollover images to very similar to the original image - changing from green to slightly lighter green, for example. Because it's such a large area to change (1/3rd screen width), it's quite a shock to have it change to bright white (especially on a 30" monitor - 2650*1600 res)

The content seems good, everything seems to work - but I would prefer to use a less painful-to-look-at design. Sorry

If you're using firefox - you can check what the site would look like in IE using Add-on 1 or 2.

Speed seems alright - I don't understand your hosting & domain - is it http://smile4me.x24hr.com or http://impressionz.ath.cx/ ?
I think losing the radio might help the speed

got to say probably a good idea as far as forums go, but, the colours leave a whole lot to be desired and i wouldnt join, i cant even look at the screen, sorry but please see this feedback although critical as constructive to you, it will help you once you forgive me for me poo pooing your site colurs..

please change the colours and banner and then im sure more peeps would join

man it is very conffusing and very crowded.. maybe you cadn just remove stuff from it to go faster:P

you do know that you can minimise a lot of the stuff right?? the magic of JS

Thanks for pushing me along

Any more advice ??
