[Website] Feedback for gaming website

[Ragus73]

Hey guys, I am finally ready to release my website into the public, but I was hoping you guys would take a look, and tell me your opinion on it. The address is http://ragus.110mb.com . You can leave a comment here, or on the shoutbox in the website. It is a website made specifically for guilds of the game Warhammer Online. My goal in mind when I was making it was to make reloading the entire page a thing of the past, and for the most part, I have succeeded. Oh ya, I know the page is kind of slow, I will be signing up for AN Hosting soon though. Well thanks! If you notice something that you think should be changed, please point it out!

Looks alright.

You need a black background me thinks, and some tweaking and sharpening of the layout. The glow around the swords is cut off, and it doesn't really look at a whole...but you use JS / Ajax I see, that's very nice :).

[Ragus73]

I followed your suggestions Daevius, and made the BG black, I also moved the swords inward a bit, but it was chopping off part of the handles, so I had to move it back so the tip was right at the edge of the page. Replaced the vague orange marks at the top of the screen so its a small fire, sooo....is it better now? :D

[andrew951]

the background of the swords is like dark red.
i say to go on photoshop and change those to black to match.
basically make your whole logo just blend as one.

[Ragus73]

I'm afraid I cannot make my whole logo "blend as one" because it causes problems with display on different size monitors. I did not see a dark red background behind the swords? There's just the swords, flame around them, and black...on my screen that is?

[andrew951]

there is a magentaish color that separates it. i checked with 2 comps, google chrome and ie8. =]

[Ragus73]

Well thats why you are seeing the website differently....Chrome and IE8 are in beta stages, looks fine in firefox and IE7. Would you mind please posting a screenshot? :D

[Daevius]

Looks 100% better now, you can also make the sword's image larger, so the flames won't be cut off.

Also, the pictures on top (the header, 3 images) have weird white lines right or left...also I think the buttons should be centred, and the body needs a more clear border me thinks :), but for the rest...looks much better now :)

[Ragus73]

Well....In my opinion, I could just take the swords, and make them 100% vertical, but it just wouldn't look right to me, I have it slanted 20%, and imo, It looks great as is. Hmm..about the white lines, I saw them when I was using a friends computer....I have no clue how they get there :/. I dont see them on my computer. I'll center the buttons right now. The border...well it fades...its supposed it...isnt it? lol

[Ragus73]

Aha!!! figured out those white lines, was some text that was hidden behind the header/buttons, im removing it now :)

[KyleEnos]

Not loading for me :/

[Ragus73]

Lol wasn't loading for you because I was uploading the index.html a few minutes ago...try again. Again, sorry if it loads slow, but i'll get a new host soon.
