Sorry if this has already been brought up but just a quick point about the SW7 mini-site in case nobody has noticed. In the construction section the photos for the 5th May and 6th August are showing up exactly the same, both lots of photos are from the 5th May. Apart from that the mini-site looks fantastic!

All fixed :D
 
A few times recently I've had a 'suspicious / dangerous content blocked' warning banner come up on the top of my screen while on this site. I'm not technical at all and don't know what causes this but the ad banner on the bottom of the screen was blocked when it happens. I'm sure nothing is dangerous but it will be a little disconcerting to new visitors I'd think, don't know if it can be stopped?

I use chrome and McAfee.
 
Ideally we need to know the exact page that you're getting that sort of message on. From past incidents, it tends to be due to a signature or avatar that someone is using. The site the image is hosted on can cause the warning to come up. The more information we get on they pages that are throwing up the errors the quicker we can get to the bottom of it :)

Just wanted to say the SW7 timeline is a great idea. I don't think I've seen many project sites present updates in this format but it makes it so much easier to find the news and how it relates to other events at the time.

My only slight niggle is that it doesn't all fit on my laptops screen without me having to keep scrolling up and down, even though it easily could. There seems to be a lot of blank spaces due to the way the picture size and text varies on each update.
 
Just a quick word really...

Thank you so much for this site, which is absolutely fantastic, and it has made me feel like I'm not this strange person with a weird fascination. Now, I've found out that there is a group of strange people, all with a weird fascination!

The site looks amazing, and every little detail makes the site what it is.
It's not just a fansite really, as it's a closely knit community, with friendships all over the place. There really is nowhere else quite like TST!

The SW7 site looks professional, and is easy to use. The format is very good, especially the timeline.
It's a great, unique take on SW7, just like the rest of the site.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for TST.

Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately that's a limitation of the script we're using as it's not modifiable, with the spacing being a standard size, so nothing we can do about that I'm afraid :(

Thanks for all the comments so far though guys, there's been some unbelievably hard work put in by the team in recent weeks to being things up to scratch, and it's great to see it all finally coming together! Thanks has to go to members too, who have been patient waiting for us to move things in behind the scenes!
 
Hats off to all the people working on this. Proper dedication to the site and its members. I owe you all beers! (or other beverage)

Really is increable how you have manged to create an amazing site in only a few weeks
 
WOW, the SW7 mini site is really good. the little bits of the site that have gone live are a bit of tease. I am not one for web design, but the site is showing the time and dedication the team is putting in.

I would like to say to the team. Bloom good work, it looks great. and i cant wait to see the next well crafted pages of the site.

Yeah I've noticed the script seems to render the content in different ways, which is why the box seems to be so big.

On my tablets it puts the text above the photos, and on my PC, it puts to the text to the right of the photos. Cant seem to make its mind up :p

I'll see if I can tweak it all a little. Out of interest, what is your screen resolution size? Thanks!

1366 * 768, basically a fairly common wide screen laptop. It also puts the text to the right, might try it on my tablet tomorrow.

If you can't do anything about it then that's fair enough. I thought it was the way you were formatting the news articles that was doing it but as you and Craig have said it seems to be a script issue.

Edit: To put it into perspective (pun intended) this post takes up my whole screen from the top of the post to the reply button.
 
I'm just looking at this topic in 1344x840, and I can just see the Quick Reply bar from the top of your post. Looking at the timeline too and it appears fine here with no need for scrolling (It's just slightly shorter than my display). Obviously it's not the exact same resolution as your screen, but it gives a rough idea.

Silly question probably, but I don't suppose your browser has a zoom feature and it's magnified the page at all so it overflows a bit? Just thinking of anything else :p

It wasn't but now you've mentioned it I've zoomed out on the Timeline and that's a lot easier to read ;)
 
Just thought I'd say that the page title for the "Park Events" page is currently "Fastrack and ERT" :)

Currently recieving the above message on the update/news page. But I use IE9?
 
Apparently you need to turn off compatibility mode (the little paper icon at the end of the URL?)

Compatibility View

When Internet Explorer's Compatibility View is enabled, you may see the following message in place of the normal Disqus commenting area:

Your browser is not currently supported in Disqus. Please use a modern browser.


This is because Internet Explorer is loading the page using an older, "compatible" version of Internet Explorer's rendering engine.

...but unfortunately they are right. IE is a shockingly bad browser, ok it has got a bit better with recent releases, but so many things just don't show properly that most major companies now make websites for other browsers and not IE, which use to be the internet standard.
