HOME, FORUM, DOWNLOADS, ISLAND DESIGN, MODEL LIBARY, and REGISTER
well i cant see those buttons now im using netscape. i can see those buttons if im in the models libary! thats the only time they appear! any reason for this?
the rest of the time its like when you cant recieve a pic from a website and it just leaves a lil cross, but this isnt a cross, but its the same type of thing!

any reason why it appears then but not the rest of the time like if im on the forums or on the home, page

i sent mit the fix for this ages ago....flog 'em

i think it was a space or funky character in the image name or something. i've been using mozilla for about 8 months and it's one of maybe three sites that does it.

well im just checking its just me that has this, or is it everyone?

only seemed to happen when i started to use netscape so i just guessing it me

IE users won't have a problem, just us. it's the webpage's fault though, not netscape's... IE is just more forgiving of bad code.

the problem (just checked cause i forgot what it was), is that mit, or the webpage making program that mit uses, coded the graphics like this:

http://gameislands.net/Images\menu\home.gif"

but it should be like this:

http://gameislands.net/Images/menu/home.gif"

i'll resend him the fix for the page so we can see it properly, and hopefully he'll add it in soon.

so the problem is just a couple of backslash's lol

so on the model libary the codeing is correct ?

TY hedgie

aye, on that page the slashes are fine for whatever reason. it's not really netscape's fault, it just expects less chimpness than IE does

what if you right click that link and select Save Target As?

saounds like the browser is just trying to open the file as if it were an html file or text document. which i belive has nothing to do with the site itself. site only provides a link, its the browser's desicion on what to do with it

atleast you can view pics

whenever i direct link to a bmp file, my browser tries to download it instead of showing me it.

ok TY zar seems to have worked!

the buttons at the top of the site seem to show now on the main page and the downloads too! so its slowly improveing

EDIT: also just noticed that if you click on island design twice it takes you to the old tin site that hasnt been updated! except where u click on forums brings you back here

hedgehog · Post by **hedgehog** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 3:48 pm

i don't think it's when you click on it twice, but when you click on it from a certain page.

i mean it is a monkey doing all the site design, after all

Tom · Post by **Tom** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:14 pm

well if your on the island design page and you click on island design then it takes you to the old tin site

hedgehog · Post by **hedgehog** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:59 pm
