pcmantinker I recently updated the look for IGA's website and forums. Come check out the new theme and let me know what you think! http://igahome.dyndns.org/ http://igahome.dyndns.org/forum/
pcmantinker Thanks. I had some of my friends help with the CSS and themes. I think it looks better than the old theme. My old theme was too dark.
pcmantinker Does it take a long time to load? I can change my images to a different format for faster loading if necessary. Let me know if my server is slow because of my images. Thanks.
razorsedge it is a lil' slow but i wouldn't worry bout it to much cuz it is fine... its like a normal website with a lot of images
Tom Chapman razorsedge wrote its like a normal website with a lot of images thats very bad then isn't it
pcmantinker Does it take long for the homepage to load? I compressed the images like MrWiseOne suggested. The images used to be about 60kb each and now they are at most a tenth of that.
razorsedge Great website.. my question is there a way to compress the buttons.. and the banner? cuz now that is the only thing take a while to load... other than that everythign else is GREAT!!!! Also may i ask what you use to compress them... or what format are you using after you compress them?
pcmantinker I just converted the images to png. The png format is a very nice format for images and it takes up a tenth of what a bitmap would. Update: I am playing around with using a CMS such as Joomla or e107 to power my site. Right now, the active site is Joomla based but I am also trying out e107. I still have the original html based site as well.
pcmantinker Awesome! Thanks. I'm not sure of which one is better. I think that e107 is more user friendly and Joomla is more business oriented. I am not trying to run a business, but I am trying to run an online community. What I am most concerned about is server speed. Which one is faster?
hc2995 e107 is faster, they both depend on size of site. Joomla is a large package so it can be slower if your server is not the faster one
