Almost got lost and forgot to come back to post :)

There is NO horizontal scroll at my 800x600 resolution on a 15" montior. You've done a good job of making your pages fit to most any size, even when viewed in "normal" (float) mode instead of "maximized".

A very understated and well laid out site, with good navigation no matter where you venture.

You have some really kewl graphics displayed as well, shows that you are a person of many talents. Although, the background on your "Backgrounds" page did make me think I'd traveled back into the 60's again :D

Must say, Good Job, 3 Thumbs Up and all of that


Just my "For What It's Worth"

hi

thanks jj for taking the time to review my site

im glad theres no horizontal scroll
i made the site so i could view it at 1024x768

cos thats my resoloution but my fave is 800x600

this computer looks terrible at that rez

i must say im not keen on the background on the backgrounds page i did have a much better one but it totally looked better than all the backgrounds i had on the site so using that would have been counter productive

im glad you liked the navigation that was probably
the hardest part to do the hours i spent making that work gees never again im going for a menu bar next time lol

thanks again its made my day :)

p.s. i sent my giant scrollbar to a script site last night
as soon as they feature it ill put it on my site
shouldnt be too long now :)

[OnTheNet]

Unfortunately, I could not see any of your images on your page. They all came back as broken. Has something changed since JJ viewed it?

thanks melman ill be coming back to visit your site when

its all done :) really liked the flash

very suave :)


hi on the net

nothings changed i checked all my images

to see if they were on the server etc and they are

and i checked my code too and it appears ok

i can see the images on both computers

do you have trouble seeing

images on any other web pages

that you can show me the link to ?

just a thought , i really dunno why u cant see them

maybe they are timing out the page is about 35k ?

[OnTheNet]

maybe they are timing out the page is about 35k ? That musta been what it was. I looked at your site today on a faster connection and everything came in fine. My dial-up connection last night wasn't the greatest. Nice looking site.

[blurchy]

thanks for getting back to me

on the net

aw gees it looks like my page is bit 56k unfriendly :(

id preload the images but if thay dont appear the page wouldnt

either ill see if i can trim it down somehow :)

cheers :)

[OnTheNet]

aw gees it looks like my page is bit 56k unfriendly I don't know why your pictures seem to be timing out so fast. They really are not that large for dial-up. I put your site through Doctor HTML (http://www.doctor-html.com/RxHTML/cgi-bin/single.cgi) just to see what it said, and it shows your pictures timing out too.

[blurchy]

im def having a prob with em

onthenet i looked at them before

on the other computer it has a connection speed of

gees about 1 meg so no time outs there

But they didnt show until id been to another page

and seen another actual jpeg and when i came back they were

there i dont get it.

i have a similar problem on my web hosting page

which is even weirder

u arrive at the page and the silver powweb gif

loads but doesnt appear i dont get the image placeholders

i cant see the image but its there and wont appear till

i refresh the page ????


is it possible it could be a css style that is doing it

only reason i ask is im using shadow and i know

this sometimes slows the page down

i use it really heavily on my web hostingpage

[OnTheNet]

These ideas are just shots in the dark, but try disabling certain aspects of your site until you can see what is slowing you down.

Try disabling CSS and then run it through Doctor HTML (http://www.doctor-html.com/RxHTML/cgi-bin/single.cgi) to see if you still get the timeout on your images.

Also, if you are using Anti-Leech in .htaccess, temporarily disable that to see if that is the culpruit. I had a typo in my .htaccess file once that dragged my performance way down.

Anyone else have any ideas? Good luck.

hi

this is my .htaccess
--------------------------
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://neutron1.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.neutron1.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule [^/]+.(gif|jpg|zip|css)$ - [F] # No Access to Images
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/.+$ - [F] # No Access to CGI Scripts

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.neutron1.com/error.html

i disabled this and have now renabled it

and the images didnt time out they showed up
i dont know how to disable css unless you mean

take out the styles :(

[OnTheNet]

i disabled this and have now renabled it
and the images didnt time out they showed up Are you saying that the images didn't time out when your .htaccess file was disabled? I see that they are still timing out now.

[blurchy]

yes but i renabled the .htaccess again
couldnt see anything wrong with the .htaccess file but then again
i havent a clue what a good one looks like

dr html detected the images by the way
after id disabled the .htaccess
and told me they were 21k

i think the only reason they are timing out on dr html

is cos the .htaccess file is set up for anti linking to images
its difficult to test cos they all show up for me except
on my brothers computer occasionally
im going to try another page and see if the images
time out on that

its a bit sad if i have to
disable my .htaccess file just so people can see my images

:(

[blurchy]

hmm

well i did find something

the images time out on my index page

http://www.neutron1.com/index.htm

but not on this page

http://www.neutron1.com/textures_index.htm

so it has to be something to do with

the index page

im gonna try another :)

i did

http://www.neutron1.com/web_hosting.htm

the image times out on this page too

there must be a similarity between thes pages

[OnTheNet]

Can't help you too much with your .htaccess file. Maybe other forum users have some suggestions. Good luck.

[blurchy]

hey thanks for all your help onthenet

im a little closer now anyway

:)

cheers
