+fairplay Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Hi every one. By accident or let's say by error I made this Html description of my new cache. Try it out. UTM Chaos What's our opinion, should I leave it like that or not ? I think the scrolling looks funny. Does anybody else have something similar ? hello Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Fix it. I tried to read it but it would take me too long waiting for it to come around again to get the next part. And then again and again. have you tried printing it at different times to see what comes up? If I wanted to get dizzy I'd stand up and spin around until I fell down. And try clicking on a link! Cache you later, Planet I feel much more like I do now than when I first got here. Quote Link to comment
+tirediron Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Creative? Yes! Effective? No. I managed to get about three lines read before I had to give up, and spin my laptop around the other way. In the right circumstances it would neat, but in this enviroment, nah! (BTW, How did you do that?) Quote Link to comment

+fizzymagic Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 So cachers who use Plucker won't get to see your cache. Seriously, what you have done is Bad HTML Etiquette. Quote Link to comment
+jeannine Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 pretty funny!!!!!! Sometimes I get to feeling just like that when I'm searching for a cache. ....although, I'd change it so people don't fall down and hurt themselves Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I agree with the Ack! post. Fix it! It's hard to read what's going on... Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 It's a bit like a shooting gallery trying to click on those links. And as for music on cache pages... Bill Quote Link to comment
+CWL Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 That would drive me up the wall!! Quote Link to comment
iryshe Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 No offense meant, but visiting that page felt like I was inside a schizophrenic's head. I removed the marquee. Unfortunately in the future we'll probably be more restrictive with html for this reason. Improperly closed tags especially cause headaches in the eBook generation process.

+wimseyguy Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Either the fix its have already won out or I'm looking at something completely different. The only scrolling I see is the spinning scouts logo? What did I miss? I must have gotton here just behind JI, since his post was not ther the first time I was at this thread. Darn. These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes; Nothing remains quite the same. Through all of the islands and all of the highlands, If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Quote Link to comment
iryshe Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 All of the logs for the page were scrolling left on the page. It's what happens when you don't close a marquee html tag. Marquee tags were the invention of Satan, in my opinion. Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Quote Link to comment

I tried advanced search, but inly found a droll thread in the UK forum. So what do they signify? These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes; Nothing remains quite the same.

How does do the folks at www.htmlcodetutorial.com feel about your deep linking to their content? Some people call this 'bandwidth theft'. I sure don't care for it when people deep link to images on my web site in this way. Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I'm with the general consesus for fixing the page and I agree with Kodak's4 that embedded music in web pages is not a good thing. For this reason, I leave my speakers off so when I'm surfing the web, I don't encounter unwanted noise. It's better to have the page silent as a default and provide the user a link that will provide music if he/she wants it. However, I suspect, most of us don't want embedded music in web pages.

+fairplay Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 Ok, let's start with the beginning. I informed the guy's from htmlcodetutorial about the link and that I wasn't informed about 'bandwidth theft' quote: How does do the folks at www.htmlcodetutorial.com feel about your deep linking to their content? Some people call this 'bandwidth theft'. I sure don't care for it when people deep link to images on my web site in this way. Second thing is, THIS WAS ONLY A SIMPLE QUESTION ! I got your opinion now, it's all right. This was a try and nothing else. SO STOP SENDING ME FXXXX MAILS WITH STUPID INSULTS !! The first time I got mails, was a week ago when we created a LOVE'n PEACE Cache which was first accepted and than immediately archieved. I got at least twenty mails from stupid guys, with all kinds of insults. This time is the same, some of you have learned to say their opinion, and I have learned to accept others opinion (especially when I ask for it) But what I cannot stand are insults in any way. Believe me I'll answer all that mail this time, with some surprise! Thanks to all the others who simply told what they were thinking. hello Quote Link to comment
