    Super Smart Games - Vortex

    Posted 17 years 10 months ago
    • Hi all,

      I am planning to launch this site very soon, and would love any and all comments on how it's looking and working, and how I might improve it.

      www.SuperSmartGames.com

      Extensions:

      Frontpage Slideshow
      iJoomla Magazine
      J!Reactions
      Tabs & Slides In Content Items Plugin

      I am having a problem with the logo for the site. The changes were made using Photoshop, and while it looks fine in FireFox, it looks strange in ie. I don't know how to use Fireworks, so if any one has any ideas on how to fix this, I would be grateful. And if anyone has a better idea for a logo in general, I would love to hear it. I just don't have any kind of talent for that sort of thing.

      I also wonder if any Rocketeers know of a news headline scroller module? I seem to remember seeing one on a site, but I can't seem to find it now.

      Thanks in advance y'all.

    • Lol....geez. See, this is why I need people to double-check my work.

      I've added the link to my original post.

    • maybe you can give this a try: www.fnordware.com/superpng/
      it's a replacement for the original photoshop png-saver. I've had some good results with it, but I can't gurantee that you will :) .

      a headline scroller is included with the sporticus template.

      the site looks nice, especially the images that you've used for the menu.
      good luck with it!

    • What plugin did you use to get the video to display. I still get the dreaded ie operation aborted error whenever I try to display video.

    • Alan, I use the AllVideos plugin from joomlaworks. I seem to remember having problems with it at the beginning as well. I'll dig around and see if I can sort out what I did to fix it. I do remember commenting out the slimbox line in the index.php, and I think that it was related to my joomlaworks extensions not playing nice with it activated.

      And thanks Sander for the photoshop suggestion. I'll give that a try. ;)

      I am sort of at loose ends on the site loading times. It seems to just be beastly. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very, very grateful. Most of the suggestions I've received from other forums are along the lines of "ditch the heavy template for a 'light' one, and take off the big images and the flash rotator". Well all my images are pre-sized before I upload them, so I can't make them any smaller, and I really do feel that the image rotator adds a lot to the homepage.

      How do other sites manage to have image rotators and still load in a reasonable amount of time?
