Grey and Orange... yay!

Pretty nice site overall, was a little confused by the intro though as far as it's link to the site went. Was this originaly the intro from your older site?

oli · 31-07-2003, 04:16

Site didnt load for me

Brown · 31-07-2003, 05:47

speakers made horrible noise, couldn't turn it off. thought i was waiting for the site to load - was a splash page. argh!

I HAVE GOT FLASH PLAYER INSTALLED, MAYBE I COULDNT BE BOTHERED TO WAIT FOR THE POP UP TO LOAD.

Great... White screen... and to make it worse, it's maximised! The point being? May be the almighty JS error doesn't help on the splash page:

Line: 206
Char: 1
Error: Syntax Error
Code: 0
URL: http://www.killswitchcollective.com/

Line: 207
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://www.killswitchcollective.com/

And before you ask... IE6 SP1, Flash Player 6 installed...

... Ooo! Hang on.... Something's happening...

Took over 3mins on a 10Mb pipe to load! And as for the resolution... ARGHHHHHH!!!

Same here. Couldn't be arsed.

Are we supposed to just sit in front of a blank white screen and patiently wait? Where is your loading screen/progress bar?

worked fine for me - osx/safari/2mb pipe

i'll just pop out and get one then.

tomson · 31-07-2003, 10:52

you know it makes sense!

theres some freaky randonness going on on that site tho. The dark-eerie looking thing reminds me of that old Centre of the World site.

ben.killswitch · 31-07-2003, 11:00

So it works for U tomson? AHH yeah yes and you see the random feature...Explore more...

oli · 31-07-2003, 11:02

I definately have flash 6 installed, still get the white screen.
And your right, you do have to be a bit thick-skinned on this forum

Well, I'm glad someone's enjoying it.

I've got v6 installed properly and I still get the white screen. Everything else online done in flash works for me (I know cos I've checked).

Brown · 31-07-2003, 11:05

i've seen everything now - this is what's happening. ie gives me the orange and grey warning, but opera 7 (first visit) opens the popup immediately when the orange and grey warning appears so you never see it, its just all that nopise and b'cos the resolution is so big, the enter button is off the screen - that's what confused me.

when i went back to check it it just wasn't loading. i got the white screen. check the performance of your server - never go for a free service, rarely go for a cheap one - do you write your invoices on paper or bog roll?

Mr Fred · 31-07-2003, 11:06

this is my opinion not the forums.

well apart form giving me an eppi fit and waiting 5 weeks - 1m line (not as big as tomson's)

links all blurred / pixel fonts used badly. and an avalanche of pop ups

things open.close.open.open.close

off.

sorry.

I never actually said that did I. I could pick faults - starting with the 2 forced full screen windows - but hey you cant please all the people all of the time.
