Might also consider setting that Flash intro to only play if someone clicks a link telling it to, so that people who don't want to wait for it to download don't have to stop it themselves.

And... um... no 'back' links? If you're going to use a fancy menu thing like you have on the main page, please include it on *all* of the pages.

No need... the board automatically converts the address to a link.

I've got back links on most of the pages, and i'm not gonna put the menu on all of the pages yet coz i dunno if i'm gonna keep it yet.

>>Courier New size 1!?!!? Egads, my eyes! Dude. Leave it on the default typeface, or set it on some nice sans-serif font like Verdana or Tahoma, and let the size be determined by the person's browser settings... if ya want people to actually be able to read it, that is >>

My computer must be different from everybody elses coz size one comes up easy to read, but now that i know i'll change it to let it decide -thanks 4 the heads up!

I don't actually now how to do that but i have a "Skip Intro" button to click if u don't wanna watch it or have a slower connection/browser.

Gotta go make notes!

Ouch! Yeah, it has Courier New size 1 on all pages except the main page. But Space Alien does have an option on the front page to skip the intro.

I'll finish reading the site once the font gets a tad larger.

Yeah, I know that. What I was talking about was making it be a link to click to *play* the intro, instead of a link to click to *not* play the intro-- might try reading my post more closely. Not having Flash stuff load by default is a lot more user-friendly.

Okay, I'd do that -if i knew how. Do you think a rollover would b better?

ALL of them? Geez, i didn't even know that!

Okay, I've been doin what i can inbetween gettin yelled at and all pages from the last update are in Courier New (coz i hate the default ones they-re sooo boring; sorry!) but the size hasn't been defined.
I'm working on the other pages -but it's gonna take me a while.

Thanks for pointin this out by the way Techfreak Ziana coz on my computer size one is comfortably readable! I used a school computer though to see what you meant and MAN are they hard to read!

Here's how -- Make the main page (index.html) not include the Flash intro. Instead, move the intro to a separate page (such as intro.html), and place a link to that page on the main page instead of the actual intro. So the main page would have a link straight to home.html (like it does already), and a link to the page with the intro. The intro page would have the Flash intro, and another link to home.html.

That's likely just because the font scaling of your computer's browser is different from the default-- in View --> Font Size or Text Size, you can change that to make things look larger. But most people have it set on 'Smaller', and setting it on one of the larger settings might make Courier New size 1 readable, but will also make other text much larger than most people prefer.

Lol, I'm on it, soon. As soon as i leave here. Thank you SOOO much.

I'm not allowed to touch that stuff coz my mum doesn't like me too. I'm kinda known for doin that kinda thing -it's not my fault if it doesn't always go right!

That's a minor change and easily reversible, by simply going back to the Font Size menu and putting it back on the previous size setting.

Minor change? ooooh **looks around** so, where do i find this font size menu (soz i'm pratically computer illiterate.

But, I have created a new index page, with the into on a seperate page!

Explained that in my previous post... Open your browser and go to the 'View' menu and select 'Font Size' or 'Text Size' or 'Font' or something similar (it varies on different versions), and you can increase or decrease the size.

Good!

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

The typewritten look of the font takes some getting used to, but I'm okay with it. Didn't know if you intended that effect.

There's no way back or to other pages without going back to the top. Perhaps you can have that menu that's on the top page appear on every page? It's small enough.

Wadda u mean? The drop down menu on the first page? I could. I've been thinkin of puttin frames in.
