New look site and progress reports

Post by steve »

I'm uploading the first phase of the new look site today, as such the current site will experience limited functionality today - all the pictures will vanish!

There are a couple of problems I've got to fix in the new site, and I also still need to finish the Cobra section, but I think it is best to get the site up now and tinker with it online.

Done (ish)

Post by steve »

The new site is up :lol: , still need to completely finish the :cobra: Cobra and :sas: SAS pages completely, that will be done in the next few days. The only other bit still in need of major work are a few of the supporting areas, but the main toy area is 95% complete.

Still got some more new images to add to other sections (mainly alternate packing etc), and a few problems with the text alignment on some of the navigation bars, but should all be done by next weekend.

Site has now got 250+ new or extra images, as well as a full set of blueprints and the start of the sticker archive.

The only problem you may notice are that any links from old posts in the BB to images on the old are now completely knackered!

Thanks

Cheers guys!

The worst bit was the 6 hours it took to upload (last time I did a site upload I was a student and could use the fast conenction we had there).

And thanks again to all three of you for the material you've provided over the years (and also of course to all the other contributors old and new).

Best thing about this look from my point of view is that adding new images will be a doddle, so future updates will be much faster.

Cobra is now as complete as it gets for now in terms of images. Also think I've fixed any broken links, if you find any please let me know.

SAS force should be done tomorrow night.

Update on Update....

Added some more images today, and fixed a couple of mistakes in links.

Got one more batch of images to add (possibly tomorrow) then I'm going to start on the missing text in the AF and Cobra sections, including the biographies.

I'll also publish an up to date list of missing material, although thanks to Jonathon (newswseller) that list has already shrunk since the new site first went up.

Cheers Clemens, glad it works on both counts, the old site had got to be a bit of maze!

I'm not 100% happy with the side bar myself, I'm looking at ways of improving it at the moment. Currently it uses line breaks and non breaking spaces to get the alignment right but I'm probably going to change it to nested tables instead so it resizes better but still keeps the indenting.
