I love the way you did your post albus, you told me exactly what the problem is and how i could improve. I am glad you all liked the wall, even though it doesnt blend "Harmoniously" with my site. I found the brick background but i had to make it lighter in order for the text to showup. The banner, i know doesnt look like much but its the first one i made for the site. And you were close by guessing flamingtext but it was actually at cooltext.com. I plan on making a flash banner to replace it. I plan on doing a few things to the site to make it look better and not so "plain". i will be making some graphics to use as bullets instead of "»"'s. Maby add a style selector as well.

I know it doesnt matter what i like, its what the 'users' like. But i like black XD. I know thats pityful but im a pityful person so it works out.

Ill definatly take your advice and make the tables bigger.

thanks for the input.

p.s: It might take a lil while for these changes to go into affect because im running into a lil problem with my Admin CP. turns out the so called 'working javascript' i had on my comp is giving me errors when i uploaded it to the site. ill try to get that fixed right now

Lol, doesnt matter whether you are a web designer or not. Just the fact that you took the time to look at my site makes me happy . Alot of times you will get your best feedback from people who have absolutely no clue about any kind of programming.

Any ways. I am making some of the 'blocks' bigger right now. I just got done making the user profiles. Users can now change their avatar and such. I 'will' be changing the avatar. Like i said i will probably do it in flash. Cause with flash you can add lil clickamagigs and every one likes those. Ok i figure i might as well go ahead and post a features list of features soon to come:

1) An Arcade - Containing all kinds of classic arcade games plus some new games or newer versions (all games made by me). The Arcade will have a highscores list that will allow you to view users total scores or individual game scores. You will be able to sort them by username or score (asceding to decending and the opposite on both)

2)The Story Board - will allow you to post/view poems and stories (original works only) from our users. You will be able to comment on the content and rate it. Each week the best rated work will be featured on the front page. You can search through the content by sorting it by type, ie poem, essays ect

3)Artwork Showcase - will allow you to upload/view artwork and computer graphics made by our users. You will be able to comment on and rate the graphics just like in the story board. Each week the top graphic will be featured on the front page. You can search through the content by sorting it into categories such as handdrawn pictures (there will be sub catagories), computer graphics, Photographs.

4) Chatroom - Im working the bugs out of it now but it will be a php/mysql based flash chatroom (created by me). It will have smilies and maby little movie type things (inspired by Yahoo! messengers audibles and 123flashchat.com's chat movie things). Possibly even with the ability to talk 1 on 1 in realtime (or close enough) with each other instead of just through the pm system or in the main chat area. Maby even a whiteboard if i get it to working soon enough.

Im getting a cramp. Plus i cant think of anything else so i will post it later if it comes to me

Tell me what you think about these ideas as well

All of that hears cool, specially the Chatroom

Well im just being curious... what are you using for make your site? i mean.. how you make the login system, and all of that... is a CMS?

lol, Unfortunatly im coding it all by hand. The reason i like to make my own stuff is because of a couple things. 1) it makes me feel good knowing that i made somthing that works and not having to use someone elses and 2) alot of times i dont like a feature or i would like a feature not on other peoples stuff, so making it by hand is the easiest solution.

Making the Login and membership script wasnt that hard. The Beta form of it was made using nothing but text files as a database. All the users information is located in one text file. The first line in the text file has the number of users, and every line after that has the information for a user on it. the way i set it up is so its kinda like a mysql database, but not really. Im going to use my line as an example:

right now i am the only member on the site (i would have figured since you all looked at my site you would join :'( but its ok ill live) the first line has a 1 on it then the next line looks like this:
username|##|password|##|email|##|rank|##|name||##|so on and so forth

the reason i use |##|'s is because how often do you see people puting |##|'s in their information? not often, not EVER (and you put it in your info just to mess with me i will kill you). then i use the file() function to read the information into a variable then i use explodes on the variable and then vuala! if you want the 1st members username you would use somthing like $user[1][0]. For accessing the the first thing on the first line (before the first |##|)....

CMS stands for Content Management System. Which means rather than logging into the trap17 cpanel. I can add/edit/delete updates and such straight from my site. Because when i login as an admin (which is me) i gain access to the admin cp

if you want further explaination on things such as the forum or message systems just tell me and i will post in depth tutorials in the php section of this site. or should it go in the tutorials section?

More features would be great, mayby add in a quiz or 2 somewhere in there. Mayby adding a downloads page where you can download various scripting tools would be good as well

Nice job writing it all from hand though.

what is this Graphic directly on the top of the Page? i dont like it it just takes away space but the user counter that shows the number of online users is a good idea and "the wall" is verry nice too because its verry uncomplicated(i love things like that )
and The Forum totaly rocks you even support Avatars the only thing i dont like is the style it looks so sad

1. Job Site - Colors alright? (9)

   http://www.jzambrano.trap17.com I've had this site for a while but have been starting to
   question whether I perhaps should change the colors to something less vivid and more neutral like
   navy blues, greys, etc. Do you think it needs to be changed, and if so, to what? Also, if you
   have any thoughts on site features or constructive criticism about the site, that would be
   appreciated too....

   kbps modem with decent speed. So that it doesn't take a lot of time to load. So I've
   designed a template & used it to display page specific content. This helps me to cache the design &
   logos and change the [age specific content at a decent rate. I have myself tried to load the pages
   with 33 kbps modem and it loads in almost 5 secs for the first time and later for the next pages it
   just loads in a flash. Man it's awsome. I didn't think it will work in thios...

   see your work and having it online in one location would be much nicer then having them go to
   different links, look in your CD/DVD or computer hard disk drives. I started this 2 days ago and

    unfamiliar or even possibly offensive to some. But I'd like you to review the design and
    function of the site and tell me what you think. Most of the work is pretty old. I need to redesign
