Hi Jack,

I'm also waiting for a CPU module replacement.

Hi!

Me too here

Do you remember the "to be this good will take Sega Ages" billboard next to Sega HQ in London?

Priceless!

Rude!

Welcome!

Don't be afraid, I'm sure there will be some guys who will bother you with TV cards.

Is this the thread to say Hi?

Hi! :)

Now, who can I pester about misbehaving AOS4 machines with my TV cards? :)

@Jurassicc

StellarDreams are not alive atm (at least according to some pointers I fished in Google)
Thanks for the info anyway.

Jack

Ahh, thanks a lot, missed the pull-down menu

About the "more" smileys windows, works here with AWeb, but
i'm on a beta version, so it should be fixed with next AWeb

@Rudie

I remember there being adverts for the A1200 being on TV in the UK Circa 92/93, however I can't remember if the adds were C= ads, or department store type ads just mentioning the A1200. The CD32 ad was amazing and when I got my CD32 I watched the CDXL anim over and over and over again mmmm so many colours

I'm not sure they couldn't be bothered, more over they didn't have a clue when it came to marketing.

Only at the end, when the CD32 came out, did they start getting their act together and doing some daring stuff - by then of course, it was too late.

If they had advertised the A1200 in 92 when it came out then that would have helped, but we all know their PCs killed them - ironic really

I think Sicky managed to get his through stellardreams, but that was a one of iirc.

Don't forget about him:

Oh I wasn't complaining, I was just curious, is all. :)

- 'transfer' functionality. Go to 'transfer' in thread/post, then 'create PDF', the intermediate page isn't themsed the same, it's all black background. Submit/create PDF works though, interesting

Random:
1. banner color scheme is awful- at least on safari on OSX, the color fade top to bottom makes the site name nearly impossible to read.
2. overall color scheme, including text input (the yellow/white) is just pretty 'washed out,' content blocks are OK, but this is fairly bad.
3. text input (textarea form)- even in his res 1600x1200, the text input box is too big vertically, have to scroll to read the post responding to. Likely going to be worse on 'real' Amiga browsers with lower resolutions (or non Amiga, but lower res), would reduce it by at least 1/3 vertically, possibly 1/2.
4. The "Message Icons' are umm, just sort of sucky. (in compose message mode). Are they really supposed to be in inverse video?
5. No help for 'Notifications.'
6. It's xoops Hope they've managed to seperate things better in recent versions, to allow fixing CSS and other bits and still allow for upgrades without borking things too badly.
7. Whos Online is pretty bad with the bigger icons- it'll be worse if you get 10-20 logged in users. Drop the icons from the whos online code...

Don't ask why I'm submitting these, as I expect Mikey or someone will simply ban me at some point (not that I plan on posting much, anyways..), but it's obvious at least some people have taken time and effort, and it's a big PITA to get a site usable on AOS browsers, as well as working out kinks on a new site. *shrug*

Scroll down to the very bottom of the page.

You mean you don't see the smileys at all (you need to switch to DHTML form), or that the "more" pop-up doesn't work? The latter is on my list. I will endeavour to fix that before the site launches.

@Sauron

It's good to have a few people in before launch day, then when we launch there is something to read already and it encourages people to register. That's my view anyway.

Word of mouth advertising is a very powerful thing, as Commodore knew (although in their case it was mostly just be because they couldn't be bothered to do any proper advertising).
