It looks awesome!

Jeff · 10-15-2007, 12:00 PM

Hell of a job Marc. Well done!

**Val** · 10-15-2007, 04:22 PM

Nobody likes you anymore, Fountain! Get out of here!

And yeahzz ...
You are the dude Marc!

I'm back from some days off that Rory gave to me and I really loved the new fanhost.
Really 10!

And you are also 10 Marc.

One more thing, the links are the very top of the page in between the FH logo and the Teenhollywood logo dont work. Probably because there to forums.fanhost.com/ rather then fanhost.com/. If your actualy planning to keep them since the same links are right below.

Good catch! You're exactly right. I'll fix it right now

**Blackmask** · 10-15-2007, 09:55 PM

I agree with Open about whether they need to be there. With all the links right underneath, very simple btw, the top banner would look cleaner without the links.

**open32** · 10-15-2007, 10:50 PM

^I was thinking that, but I realized it might be used to replace the current banner on all the sites.

The links are there as a bit of an experiment in SEO (search engine optimization). It is the first text/links the crawlers "see" since they only really see text. Highly relevant links with link text which accurately describes the pages better than simply the "Photos", "News", etc links.... i.e. "Celebrity Fan Site Hosting" is more descriptive than "Fan Sites" but can't fit in the main navbar. Same goes with "Celebrity Pictures" rather than just "Photos".

well, now this is weird!

I had the new layout completely for days, but now it´s switched back into the black one on the first site.

I changed nothing or anything. So, what is wrong now?

aloha · 10-17-2007, 03:41 AM

well, i really wonder why I now always get the old layout back,when I start my computer the next morning. It´s always the old layout again, although the new one should be activated for me and I didn´t change anything

Marc, do you know what´s wrong? Or do you know any help to make the new one stick again?

That's so strange how it keeps reappearing. You did totally clear your cookies, right?

You said you were running Firefox? Do you have any non-standard add-ons installed (like password managers, toolbars, pop-up blockers, etc...).

To be honest, I'm really not sure why it keeps switching back. The new one is the default. If you've cleared your cookies, I don't see why it would switch back to the old layout....:(

yes, I did after Samson told me how to do that.

don´t ask me such stuff, i have no idea, I´m happy I´m able to work with my computer that way.

It always switches back into the old one when I try new. Also when I go to default new layout, the announcement forums and some others still switch back to the old layout.
I don´t know what´s wrong, cause it was working days before very fine without any problems.
But now it seems broken or whatever. I have no clue, but it´s weird, and I would like to have the new layout

**MSFixR** · 10-17-2007, 07:59 AM

I have noticed with IE 6, that read posts are not immeadiately marked as read and that the last post is not always the post shown on the main menu page. This may be related to the use of an ad blocker or it may be that IE is not updating the cookies everytime.
With IE 7 running under Windows XP SP2 these things do not occur.

aloha · 10-17-2007, 08:03 AM

hmm, that´s also weird, as weird that I get the old layout again, although I changed manual to the new layout

aloha · 10-17-2007, 12:52 PM

Now I´m really worried!

I was just logged off, although I didn´t log off.
But now the layout is okay.

oh, and another problem is, that I sometimes have to refresh a site, forum, or thread several times before it really opens for me (It´s not my computer, I don´t have these problems on other sites)

well, I don´t know what, but somehow Fanhost is scaring me the last days

I actually get that with IE7. For me its nothing new to the new layout. Just cookies not refreshing. You can attempt to force it with the Mark Forums Read button at the bottm.

That sounds like a good sign. When the cookies are deleted you should enter the site logged off. Hopefully the layout stays the way it is. About the speed, you have talked about that before so its nothing to do with the new site layout though I do find it loads a little slower lately. Since you said other sites you visit are fast and fanhost runs are a decent speed for most im not sure what it can be. The only thing I can think of with the speed is it has something to do with your internet provider (being from germany) not connecting well to the fanhost servers or visa versa.

aloha · 10-18-2007, 05:35 AM

hmm, I don´t know, but I heard from other people that it is slow for them too.

well, as long as it stays now, it´s okay, but it sucks a bit, needing to refresh a thousand time before I can see a site

**Blackmask** · 10-18-2007, 11:14 PM

aloha, you need one of these

It will protect you. Really it will.

aloha · 10-19-2007, 06:03 AM

oh dear

angelbunny225 · 10-21-2007, 04:42 PM

lawl..I really like the new layout!
Bit since it got renewed I get a strange message, which says continue working with this Flash.09-something thing...and then I get a Error and the side is suddenly closed!Am I the only one who has this problem?
Or maybe it's just my computer!
