thanks, I'll check them out know what you mean, shared can be a bit of a tard At the moment it would be for logging and some real-time location based stuff. Want to also see how it performs for other areas. Like the flexibilty and scalability

yea, looks that way. nuts. Guess I'll stick to mysql for all and migrate to a VPS when the userbase gets large enough.

Working on a project and want to use a mongoDB for parts of it. Having trouble finding a host that will allow it to be installed without being on an expensive dedicated server though. Anyone know of a host that supports it? Ideally on shared hosting while its being developed and in beta or something thats not too costly. If the site takes off then I'll move over to vps or dedicated but in the early days I don't fancy spending £80+ a month for a small amount of users.

not bad for a tight budget, don't think the background works though. Maybe have a look at using the original background on the new layout. Just tried it using firebug and the look is so much better in my opinion.

Sort the cats and sub cats from the db in to UL lists and then use something like this... superfish plugin or google for dropdown menu tutorials, theres tons out there

I personally don't bother with IE9 while it's in beta.

Was just reviewing my stats and thought someone on here would find them useful. Questions about what browsers and resolutions to cater for tend to pop up quite a bit so maybe this will help. Something to bear in mind though is that your own site stats are always the best way to judge who you should be designing for. These stats are for a retail based comparison site. Browsers and OS Internet Explorer / Windows 41.38% Firefox / Windows 27.09% Chrome / Windows 11.82% Safari / (not set) 11.33% Opera / Windows 2.46% Safari / Macintosh 1.97% Chrome / Macintosh 0.99% Firefox / Macintosh 0.99% Safari / Android 0.99% Firefox / Linux 0.49% Mozilla Compatible Agent / iPhone 0.49% ... and IE breaks down like this 8.0 71.43% 7.0 19.05% 6.0 7.14% 9.0 2.38% Resolutions 1024x768 16.75% 1280x800 16.26% 1024x1024 11.33% 1280x1024 9.85% 1680x1050 8.37% 1366x768 6.90% 1440x900 6.90% 1920x1080 6.40% 1600x900 3.45% 1152x864 1.97% Screen colours 32-bit 57.14% 24-bit 41.38% 16-bit 1.48% Also, flash and java were strongly supported. All this pretty much confirms what many of you will already know. And thats that theres a mixed bag of visitors out there you need to consider. IE is still a dominant force and IE6 is hanging on in there. Interesting to see how chrome is advancing its market share. Also, I'm getting nearly 40% of traffic from various country's around the world; 15% being the US.

Got someone that wants to give a visitor the option to choose a tshirt colour, design template and add custom text. At this stage there would be no user uploaded designs.

Does anyone know of a decent site for adding t shirt customisation to a site. Done some googling but all I find are t shirt sites.

Basically, you don't want them to know you're learning their job in case they decide to leave for better prospects. Choppy waters

Thats what I thought you was trying to do but didn't think it would be that basic. ok, I'll be kind and point you in the right direction. Keeping it simple, you can add an auto filled form dropdown or just have a manual input. Then change the p to... oh I don't know. Maybe a variable?

Was thinking the same as SniderDK to be honest

agree with whats already been said. The circle is distracting and the shape needs tweaking. excellent name though

delete the p and put an x there What is it's purpose? How are you using the script? Where do the letters p and x come from? You've used variable $page, could you not do something similar or create a function?

Was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw it. well the only obvious content other than text are images surely One thing I would say is that its not obvious what the site is for. The quote at the top is a clue but doesn't slap me in the face and tell me you design websites.
