First Big Site!

[Bloodtrain]

Hi guys, how are you?

This is the biggest site I've ever made and I just wanted to know what you guys think of it. So far, there's rotating banner ads, business directory, chatting and personals.

www.ezoi.net

pronounced as (eezo-ee)

Thanks!

Looks very pro, needs some flash in that header though.

thanks. I was actually talking to my partner about that. I was telling him it would be cool to make the butterfly "fly" or something..

Do you have any suggestions for animation?

[Flash Kev]

maybe the butterfly gently flaps wings, and possibly the text floats, blurs/fouces.

That's what i am talking about! Make super lowkey. Something that is not to distracting

[Bloodtrain]

ok, cool. Thanks guys. Umm.. i have a question though. I have tried in the past to place a flash movie in an html site but it didn't work too well. Users who didn't have flash or didn't have the right flash version were suppose to see a static image instead but never really worked 100%.

Do you guys know how I can make it so that it's 100% functional? I have a lot of users who come to this site so I don't want it screwing up.

Thanks a lot!

ok, I just found the script I had previously used. Do you guys see anything wrong with it?

I've been having some problems with my chat applet. I personally haven't had problems but some of my users say that it kicks them out. I don't know if its m actual applet (which I doubt), the IRC server or maybe just the users.

Do you guys think you can check it out IF you have time?

Thanks!
