I definatly said the same thing myself.

You should put a lot more work into whatever you wish this site to be then let us know about it.

i wouldnt of ether. but, i need content. and i thought that if anyone wants to host any mod files they could there.

plus, i wouldnt want to spend days on this to find the site has a poor layout. im no web designer and i want peoples negative/positive views.

Change link colour
Add a layout

umm... add a website?

Sorry, but it really is way to early to be announcing this. If you want files to host you could have just posted to ask if anyone needed hosting for a new web project you are working on or something.

If you want a PHP template management system you are more than welcome to use the one I created, which is a kind of hybrid of what I considered the best parts of phpBB forum templates and IPB forum templates, but all the code is my own. ( Linky ). It just means you can setup your templates separate to your pages, and use common templates in multiple scripts.

i like the template, but, im not using tamplates at all on the site.

i admit it, you all defeted me...it was early. but meh...you should all know me by now to do stupid things Blush

im starting on engine coding and content tomarrow, now that i finally figured out how to line to divs horizontaly. if i had it my way, i would be using tables and css just to set the colors. but web 2.0 is comming in and the <table> tag will probably become deralict.

CSS doesn't nead to be parsed, it only need to be interpreted by the browser.

If you make the document a .css it should work fine.

Oh, check out OSWD too: http://www.oswd.org/ they have very pretty templates.

Viva la Resistance!

basically, he wants it so a user can change the style they see without having to have multiple .css files.

This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

You want multiple css files though, it makes it easier to organise multiple views.

I use multiple stylesheets and a php stylesheet switcher which sets a cookie.

if ( $chosenSkin == 1 )
{
**load css file for skin 1**
}
else if ( $chosenSkin == 2 )
{
**load css file for skin 2**
}
etc, etc, etc

The templates system I linked to before supports multiple skins with completely different templates.

that is the best and proper way, but the bad thing is...im to ignorent. in php i use an array, forground, text, text size etc... i just prefer putting everytrhing in one file rather than a few. not only that, i want some of the simple forground colors to change on different sections. so instead of createing a new file just change a small bit of an old one.

but i dunno yet, i may just create a load of css files.

i am having massive problems with css and positioning, so i have resorted to tables Big Grin

although i use css for colours and font sizes.

btw: i am actully admitting that i am ignorernt, not suggesting you are calling me it...i couldnt find a way of saying it without a hint of sarcasm.

Divs work fine if you use them properly.

This means a proper DOCTYPE (so the browser knows the rules to follow) and valid HTML or XHTML markup. If you write crappy code you won't be able to position properly.

I do remember telling you to use doctypes gozy Rocked Over

I use mainly tables, but I have no problem using divs where nessicary, since they do work fine in FF if you write standards compliant html.

Anyway, back on topic, perhaps you could start hosting renegade fanmaps on there? Thats a good start for your content.
