    • I edited the Dominion and created our team building event site.

      www.teambuilding-solutions.com

      Always appreciate feedback

      Regards

    • Very disappointing! 40 views and not one piece of feedback!

    • Lovely, though the language chooser doesn't seem to work and I don't like 'right click' being disabled.
    • Thanks,

    • Thanks Jem. I will check the language chooser again although it appears ok from my side.

      We had to have the 'no right click' as we are in the team building events industry (Bangkok) and get emails from competitors monthly trying to copy and use our text/images! I once had a telephone call from an events organizer in India calling me unprofessional as I had sent him a secured PDF proposal and he couldn't delete our logo to add his! This is a fierce industry here in Asia hence ... 'no right click'

      Regards

    • I can see securing documents when sending them, as I often do.

      However, (IMHO so forgive the rant) disableing right click only annoys the visitors (potential customers) to your site that are used to this functionality, it does not stop anyone that wants your images. First they are stored in the browser cache, and second, with software like screen scraper or Sangit, it takes just a few seconds to get all the images from your site saved to a file for use.

      (I right clicked to use a debug app to see why the language chooser wasn't working but gave up when I got the message...)

      Anyway, best of luck with the site, as I said it's lovely.

    • Hi Jem

      You're not ranting and I appreciate your professional feedback. You had helped me numerous times in the past so I do respect your opinions.

      I have disabled the 'no right click' and found the issue with the translator not working appeared to be the 'rokgzipper' When I disable this it seems fine.

      Regards

      Toni

    • After all that work I have changed it to the Zephyr template which gives it a lighter, sharper look! I just can't get away from Zephyr! :cheesy:

    • Your site looks great. You've done a real good job on it.

      I noticed a couple of problems:

      1. You header background doesn't extend as expected (at least not on my screen). From looking at the image stats it's 1600px so I think this is the problem., since my screen runs at 1680x1050. People that have bigger monitors will also experience this. Even if this was intended, IMO it doesn't look good.

      2. Your menu has a slight offset to the left (FF and IE tested). I know there is a fix to this problem on the Zephyr forum, because I have seen it a while ago, but I do not have access right now (I know...I know I will renew my subs. soon :cheesy: cause I can't live without you guys :P ). So please do a search and fix this. Why spoil a good looking website?

      I know these are not essential things, but while we're here, why not fix them?

    • Thanks wdev. I really appreciate the feedback and I'll sort the top back ground image tomorrow. It's great that you pointed it out to me.

      I believe the drop down menus can be adjusted by axis which I came across by chance. I'll take a look and also try and fix it. Almost there! :oops:
