MrMeanGreen Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 If all of you have noticed, there's a rotating Javascript sponsor banner located at the top of the board. I'm looking for any bugs or issues that anyone experiences. I've thoroughly tested it on all of my PCs for slowdown, bogging, etc. I've also had several CR members test it for the same problems, along with browser window compatibility (hence the Design Forum popping up again). So, report any bugs or PC-related issues you expewrience with it. And a little about the banner... The sponsors located on the banner and on CR advertise for free. I do not charge them any money or get free parts, etc. for letting them use CR to advertise. The only thing I ask them for is to extend their services and a discount to CR members. Remember, CR is here for everyone. Thanks smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNeutron Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 thanks anthony......are you going to make the banner eventually that all you have to do is click the sponser and it will go to their site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Looks and works fine for me. And like Dark Horse said are you going to be able to click on the banner and go to that site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stvbreal Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Obvisously if you do not have the Java Runtime for Windows it will not appear. That seems to be the only bug related with it, if you consider that realy a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 only thing i've noticed is that I have to click the main window to use my scroll wheel in mozilla. Not a huge issue, just took me a little bit to realize what was going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 You can click on the sponsor in the banner and will open up another window to their website smile.gif I need to see about having the mouse icon change when hovered over the banner to let people know it can be clicked. Mike, I have the same thing happen with the PC I'm on now. I have to click the main window to scroll once the Java loads. However, the PC in the living room doesn't do that. It scrolls all the time even after the Java loads. I'll see more into what the difference between the PCs are. As for the Java itself and Windows, either you have Java installed or you don't. Sorry about that redface.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Yeah, I have that issue where i have to click in the window to use the scroller on my mouse. happens on both the home pc and work pc. I'm using IE on both systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDUB Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Quantum Racing's addy comes up as quantum-racing.com.com. Not sure if that's the kind of thing you were looking for but figured I'd let you know. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I've added the property to where when you hover over the banner, it brings up the pointer icon with the mouse. But it seems to only work intermittantly. Integrating UBB code and regular java/HTML code is the suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Its cool and everything, but I hate a bunch of shiat at the top of web pages... This new banner bumps everything down another inch or so, ya know. However, it wouldnt even be noticable if you could move the regular CR banner up beside it, since they would fit like that.... I think it would look cleaner a well. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hell yeah, it looks real good now. I am not quite happy though, I would like a steak dinner too. *actually, I know some people were working on a new CR banner, maybe an applet for that would be pretty sweet.. or not, just an idea.

1Quik7 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 am i the only one that doesn't like it? no offense Anthony, i do commend it as a good 'idea' but it just looks gaudy and annoying to me. this is the first site i log onto during my day, because it's simple and clean...if it must be there, then i will adjust....if you EVER bring pop-ups and ad-ware onto this site...i think i will have to kick your ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Advocate Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 it annoys me while im on AIM because it brings the screen to front randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I hate it.. just like on cofba, it locks up IE everytime I get on either site. Usually I have to close out of IE by alt+ctrl+del, then restart IE. I use the sun java VM so that may be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Ok, I've made some code changes. It's still Java-based, but no longer an applet. More of a passive code. The banner still rotates, but it only does so when the page is refreshed or redirected. Basically, you'll see a new picture when you go to a new page or refresh the current one. In addition, the banner now has a pointer finger to show you that it's a weblink, and it has alternative text (the words that pop up when you hover the mouse icon over it). So anyways, this takes care of the scrolling problem, page loading problems, etc. all in one hit. The only lingering issue is those that don't have Java, and that more on the user end than my end.
