Don't ever say you don't have choices on mobile.

Surely in that situation - where translation wasn't available - the user wouldn't be able to read anything else on the website?

I never understood what's wrong with the word 'menu' followed by an arrow. :/

You need to return a message from the PHP file. This message should then be available in the success/complete callback of the AJAX request.
 
Here is an example using jQuery:
$.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: ajaxUrl, data: data, dataType: 'html', // this is the return data type. You could alternatively use json, for example success: function (msg) { // msg is what is returned from your ajaxUrl (PHP page) // when the ajax request is successful (status 200) console.log(msg); } }); And your PHP file would echo something, e.g.
$msg = "Congratulations!"; echo $msg; You could also return multiple messages using JSON, for example.

^^ I like to go with the "fake it till you make it" motto...

I agree with above that re-making the design would be a good way to go. I tend to re-design at the end of projects anyway becasue my code is always messy/uncommented and you always find ways of cleaning up the code the 2nd time round.

wow thanks Teo . thats really helpful
I played with Flex earlier but couldn't get it to work properly.
 
After work Ill try to implement into my actual site (hopefully flex is compatible with bootstrap and a few other javascript libraries im using) (edit; And gonna try to convert to Roberts Grid... seems interesting!)
 
thanks

You can use flexbox - something along the lines of my js fiddle here - https://jsfiddle.net/teodora84/hbyr2a1s/1/
Here's another link for you - http://codepen.io/imohkay/pen/gpard
 
You can use the display:table; method - for example http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/css-equal-height/ There's plenty of info online - https://www.google.co.uk/?ion=1&espv=2#q=display+table+equal+heights+methd+css
 
Robert's grid is another option - much better than bootstrap and takes care of everything for you, incl. equal heights.

Thanks for the reply! Thats exactly the sort of feedback I like, Straight to the point...
 
Taken on board the poitns you made for my next design... Pretty much all of it i agree with.. i read wat you put and then looked at the design and said to myself "oh yeah, that makes sense".. so, the fact that you've picked up on a lot of the small stuff i "ignored" while designing is very helpful!
 
thanks again
 
(P.S. Im not ACTUALLY making a clan, just a clan site for web design practice and Ive played way too much cod lately so its all thats in my mind lol)

thank teo... I remember doing design briefs in college and school. So, i think ill just have to give it a go at doing that.

Blue, thanks fro comment. I mean more like, i dont know what to add to the design itself (not the content)... Like, i am never quiet sure how I should layout the page and stuff...
 
But with a design brief, it will defiantly help to get an idea of a website as a product in my head, then make a few designs and design it fully.

try google fonts or fontsquirrel

Hi
GIMP is a free software similar to Photoshop. I suppose you can give it a try - download here - http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
And here is a tutorial on how to create a logo with GIMP http://www.gimpshop.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-logo
there are a few more tutorials, you might want to search in Google.
 
Hope that helps
 
*I really would recommend going to a professional designer for a logo design, if you are new to this. But hope the above will help you to get started.

Thanks for the lengthy critic! very beneficial and i like that you have picked on the small things like the Icon..
 
taken it all on board and agree with all of it so its very helpful!

As for the host and stuff. I defiantly need to do that soon but not just yet (as i dont get paid for 3 weeks). until i get paid i just want to work on designs in photoshop so i can practice my design skills as appose to my development skills. Design is defiantly my weak poitn when it comes to web development.
 
Thanks again!

Personally I like the layout of the 2nd a bit better. Is there anyway to make the background pic full screen? And yes the font is a bit hard to read.

Well, you can use more than 2 as long as it works.
Great, glad I could be of help, I do find these articles very interesting, too

Thanks for the extra feedback.
 
I have finished with this design now and am going to give it a rest for the day and start a new design tomorrow, This time I will concentrate on:
 
1) Creating a webstie for a "purpose" and aim it at my target audience
2) be consistent with fonts (only choose 2... like you said, maybe 3 if its needed)
3) going to try to have a consistent colour scheme.
 
I have pritned off that article on alignment and going to give it a read in the next few hours before i go home (from work). I have also printed off some more articles from the same guy that go through Repetiton,proximity and contrast.... all under the "Effective design pinciples for web designers" header. these all look like really valuable reads... if you can think of any more useful articles for web designers... please lemme know! I can print them off while im here at work
 
thanks for the help!

I used codeacademy to learn jquery... google it, its really good resource to use... I went through jquery at work on it and i learnt it fairly quickly and had fun doing it ;p

so, id try that with the HTML tutorials then moving to CSS...PHP...Mysql...Javascript....Jquery

gdlk!

Hi!
I personally always use msql's default formats whet storing data.
I would set the type of the date field to timestamp and if you store the current date, just set the detault value to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

You do not need to worry about this filed when saving data, it will be filled for you in the following format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:II:SS
 
Ordering will definately work, and if you'd like to display the date in a different format, then format it before the display. e.g. using explode() to cut it at the space first then at the hyphens next..
I hope it helped.

Omg, that localhost thing makes so much sense... Bit of a stupid thing to not notice :S lol
 
But Yeah, toggle works
 
Thanks for all the help. Great, reliable forum to join with great people!

One tip to get the jQuery working:
try to open the source code in your browser and click on the link in your script tag.
 
See if it takes you to the page which contains the jQuery code.
 
If it dosen't, try to add http to your link:
 
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  
 
Léon

You need to use a toggle. Like this:
 
$(function() { $('.sendmessagelink').click(function() { $('.sendmessage').toggle(); }); });  
----
 
Your other issue is a localhost issue with the src to the file. The Google API link , when used in that context '//ajax.goo... makes Localhost think that the jQuery file is in a file location e.g. file://ajax.goo... You need to do what Leon has said above, and use the HTTP:// protocol to ensure the file is loaded from the correct location.

You can't nest tables inside a <p> element as it can't contain block-level elements.
 
Use a <div> or a block level element instead, here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/LyndseyB/NVXam/

i know form my experiance, that windows 8 renders the pages 'zoomed out' more. When i switched from win7 to win8 all my pages were smaller on the screen.
 
What i will say is may your background is to dark behind the text, lighten up the background to create some constrast, that should fix it
 
didnt see the image to start.. I can say 100% your problem is the red.. RED + black dont mix, i just redid a clients website because the past devoloper put up a black background and red titles, lets say it was a eye strain! try a orange instead

if that fails try a blue, blue + black is sexy

Perhaps font rendering/anti-aliasing has changed on Windows 8? I'm no expert on Windows, sorry!
 
Well, just try to make a stronger contrast between the background and the text in areas that you were struggling to read. Simple advice, I know, but if you're happy with everything else - why not just make a couple of simple changes?
 
Christ, I just looked at the website - those graphics bear no relation to what I played! Ha, I remember some of the stuff on there though - "Rune", "Dragon". I was never a member though, so didn't get any of the good stuff!
 
Ah, the good ol' days
