This (http://24.183.132.132:8080/~jon787/msie6.php) is what I think.

Oh yeah, if you got a device if full message, then their hard drive is full.

You're going to lose a lot of visitors that way. I, for one, will not be visiting your site again even if I have Netscape.

Content? TOP.

Design? FlOP. Typical techie cut, layout almost non-existent.

BORING.

I understand that you're hosting this from your own PC, so no graphics, but you could use at least a simple table or a style sheet to set white space and different font attributes. Having the text float into the banners to the side has been out of style since tables where invented with NS 2.0. Also millenia ago.

www.fanfiction.net has a very nice, table based and graphics free layout. You should check it out.

:rolleyes: Who is using lynx these days? I do it, but I know nobody else who does. And when I use lynx it is mostly to test whether a site is still legible in it.

A layout table and fonts won't hurt lynx, but improve the site a lot for users of graphic browsers.

Actually I notice that quite a few come back with another browser. Of course I only get about 4 hits a day anyway. I put those up when MSN blocked everything but IE.
I think it is time to take the pages down though.

NOt ot mention the fact that those pages for school need to be moved of the site completely before I graduate. And the redesign I am considering.

I don't see what people have against lynx.

I guess those other people only know how to use unix with Xfree86! :P hehehe (j/j)...Lynx is nice and fast, and if webmasters weren't lazy, they would still make their alt tags better for ppl on lynx and other text based browsers 2 read them (i'm guilty of this though with my website, sad 2 say :P)...

And you never get annoying javascript or flash with lynx either! :D

Well remember what happened with the Passport License Agreement this Spring? How much longer do you think it will be until Microsoft tries to weasel that into the license agreement in IE?
