Da Rubber Chicken Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Hi recently i have been obsessed with My Cache Page and i have been wondering why some peoples are so well dull so why dont you Jazz up yours!! I just think its really good for its one of the first things people look at before meeting you so its a key point in my eyes. Are there any jazzed up cache pages you know "send em here" if your is jazzed up "send em here" looking forward to your posts. Respect, Da Rubber Chicken Quote
+Munkeh Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 I think performing rights may want some money off you for distributing a music bands video Quote
+Moote Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Commercial links at bottom of web counter might upset the People at GC.com Also central justification is hard on the eyes, and this is Geocaching, not a pop site. Sort that lot out and I'm sure it will be OK Quote

+GAZ,NES and LAYLA Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Love the cache page...........and LOVE the choice of music !!!!! NES and LAYLA xx Quote
+walkergeoff and wife Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Great fun. But my brain has been eaten so whether my judgment is correct, I cannot say! Quote
+Pengy&Tigger Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Also you have to remember not everyone is on a broadband connection, and don`t want to be bombarded with lots of multimedia players popping up when all they want to do it look at your stats and general information. Some are still on dial up and probably don`t want to wait for a video to load up. Sometime the KIS (Keep It Simple) works better. Web pages can look too busy and unreadable if you try to add too much. Pengy. Quote
+John NW Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 I like your efforts - but not sure that the pop video should be on there Quote
+The Blorenges Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 D.R.C. Rocks! (I liked it ) MrsB Quote
+lordelph Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Yay! Green Day! But I would suggest making the video not play automatically, since most people won't be expecting music If you edit the HTML for the video where it says showcontrols="1" showstatusbar="1" autosize="true" just add an extra bit showcontrols="1" showstatusbar="1" autosize="true" autostart="false" that should stop it playing automatically. Aside from that, top marks! Quote
+milvus-milvus Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) We like Green Day... Did you see them at the Bowl? Edited February 6, 2006 by milvus-milvus Quote
+The Cache Hoppers Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Nice one DRC! Makes a change to see something a bit different ... good on ya! I agree with The Blorenges - DRC Rocks. Power to the Geocaching youth. Oh and I didn't click on the link, cos it said not to Quote
+kbootb Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 loads of effort in that page. And my favourite Green Day vid. Not seen that for a while. Quote
+little-miss-naughty Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 i like it shame us peeps with little computer knowlage cant come up with funky pages. keep it up LMN Quote
NickPick Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Yay! Green Day. I'm obviously not that old if I still like the same music as the 'Yoof'! Quote
+Son Of Windswept Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 DRC, 1. Where did you pick up the video? Is it in the public domain, i.e. freely availble to be viewed, and listened to? Otherwise, you may be infringing copyright laws, performing rights and a few other things. 2. Make the playing of the video optional, not everybody uses broadband - honest. And there is nothing more annoying than being on dialup and watching a page try and load something you don't want. 3. The Counter has advertising associated with it, if you want a counter, either write your own, or get some free code (JavaScript). 4. Otherwise nice to see you playing with HTML 5. Green Day - good choice. Especially their early stuff. 6. Didn't you meet me out caching? 7. And finally - never, never use Flash no matter what people tell you :-) Regards Paul Quote
Da Rubber Chicken Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 I never new it would go down so well!! Right i have now changed it so the music video doesn't start automatically even though Greendsy Rock!!! But its a shame i wanted to see some other caches pages aswell!! my counters gone from 13 to about 250 lol. eeeeemmmmmmmmmm cheerzfor the brilliant coments!! Da Rubber Chicken Quote
+lordelph Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 That video is being streamed direct from the record label, so either they are paying the royalty collection agencies or they really should tighten up their streaming servers Quote
+Cryptik Souls Crew Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Good choice of video, the first verse is extremely apt for this forum of late! Quote

+Hi-Tek Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I prefer a plain cache page and fortunately no superfluous stuff shows when viewing with GSAK off line. Quote

+Nellies Knackers Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Good choice of video, the first verse is extremely apt for this forum of late! Perhaps you should have chosen 'American Idiot' Am I allowed to say that? Quote
