NorthCarolina.info - Web Browser OK?

Carlton · 08-19-2006, 03:35 AM

I have made a few tweaks to NorthCarolina.info (including the addition of a Photo Tour button) and would like to know if the site is loading properly in your version of IE or other browsers.

I understand the Firefox is quite popular but I've never viewed my site through Firefox. Would be helpful to know if Firefox users see any layout problems with the site. Thanks.

Cool, went there for 3 weeks - ended last week

Why is the site not using the right hand side of the page? it's just plain black

The button backgrounds don't really work.

It's a bit dark dont you think? Could be lightened up a bit.

Thanks TM for the input. Could be lightened up? Probably so! My monitor brightness is set to max. Will look into that.

The page is positioned far left, but your should see a silver background on right (not the plain back ... don't know why that is occurring.)

Again, thanks for your comments. Not sure what you meant about the button backgrounds? You mean the buttons far left and right on each side ... or the big Email and Hotels/Travel buttons?

Well as a North Carolinian I demand you to turn over this site to me lol just kidding
the pic on the top right of the guy surfing i would thing that a pic of the nc mountains would be better because we dont get waves that high and are water isnt that blue
also are state bird is the cardinal which seems to be pretty popular so a pic of that would work and we have some popular colleges such as Carolina Tarheels, Nc State Wolfpack, and the Duke Blue devils would work to make it more authenic lol

Seems to have too much black, and also if it was in the center it would be better than all on the left side of the page.

I'm using Opera, and I see no errors

. A really nice template actually, but a bit too black, lighten it up a bit may be? I like the gradient in the center of the template. Good job

.

Good input and thank you everyone for posting. Been experimenting with lightening the black to medium grays. I've discovered quite a difference in the brightness of various monitors ... greatly affecting the degree of darkness.

Yes, I do need sports links. Agreed! and added to my weekend to do list.

P.S. ben - thanks for noticing the center gradient. I like that too.
