Okay, I've been working on something, and (especially to AdamJ if he's
listening) I want some opinions.

Would a few people go to the HHH main page and tell me if the layout there is
better than the current one (with the pulldown menu and such).

Does seem a bit cleaner, though I question the blue-on-black for the links.

Much improved over the pulldown menu's. SO much easier to navigate, since
you can see everything that is available without having to scroll through
the menu applet. Full points.

Like Patrick, I question the Blue on Black links, and it also appears that
you have Blue set to be the visited link colour, which makes it hard to
figure out what I've already been to.

Still, overall, much improved. Time to start cut and pasting your old
menu's into the new tabled style, but the effort will be very worth it.

The believe the World Wrestling Federation has a copyright on "HHH", to be
honest (Not making a joke here). If they do, they could feasibly force you
to give up the domain to them if you did purchase it, which would be an
annoying situation at best. You would be safer - and more accurate - to
register hhh.org, because Hoosier Hacker House is an organization more than
a business, from what I can see.

Argh. Just checked -- hhh.org is taken. In that case, hhh.net before
hhh.com. :-)

I have to agree. I much prefer this design to the drop down menus. I can
live with the color scheme, but it might be a good idea to have the visited
links color be visibly different. I have to agree with Adam on that... its
hard to tell what links youve followed and what ones you havent.

I prefer this layout, because you have a nice overview of all the
available options.

I do have serious problems with reading the blue letters on the black
background, but perhaps it's just me.

Oooh! A flaming snake! ;) Anyway, I agree, the blue on black kind of
makes my eyes go a bit buggy. (Hmmm, maybe a filter set for cybereyes in
there to adjust for extreme contrast deviations. ;)

Other than that, I like it.

Please explain what you mean, because I have no clue. No offense/insult
or sarcastic comment was intended. English just isn't my primary
language and perhaps some of my comments are misunderstood, because my
lack of the english language. However I am willing to learn and would
therefore appreciate some explaination, please ?

Sorry about that. The color blue you selected for your link color is hard
to read against the black background. You might want to try lightening it a
bit so the contrast is better. Lighter colors to darker backgrounds, and
darker colors to lighter backgrounds.

Dark blue and black is dark on dark and is hard to read.

I don't know how they did it, but the best pull down menu I've seen is at
http://www.autousa.com/splash2.shtml. Over on the left are two buttons
(new and used) and two pull down menus below it. The first menu determines
the available choices on the second menu. It's really nice in that you
don't have to jump back and forth between pages.

IMHO it'd be great if you could set yours up the same way. For example,
someone could choose adventures from the first menu and then choose the
specific adventure from the second menu, without having to load a new page.

Just my two cents :)

Yeah, I forgot that damndable deep blue, and it was supposed to be a lighter
blue...

Ah yes, read that pages' code really carefully. IF it's the one I'm
recalling correctly, it has placed menu frames. One menu calls the second
menu. I'm getting better slowly at HTML, but frames remain a constant
annoyance. That, and there are always conflicts depending on which browser
you are using.

Ah yes, *that* would be nice.

I would like to know the opinion of the list about some subjetcts:

What do you prefer pay the SOTA or roleplay for components like the
Caxal post of SOTA. (que tal chummer)

If a mundane is in an astral quest for a true name (free spirit help and
etc..) and because "destiny think so" (ak roll a dice) he lands in the
magic or spirit place. Is any chance that he can past the quest? how?

I have a long argument last night and getting borring about, so i will
like a 3person opinion

Thanks as always

SOTA wasn't necessary in our campaign so far.

Since a mundane cannot make the fast way skill test the GM
is forced to solve the test by roleplaying which btw is
always thew better option! But for the simle system I'd say
the mundane is disrupted except if the free spirit can help.
Otherwise I'd strongly advice that a mage joins the mundane
and his free spirit friend.

At first I thought there would be no chance but considering
all facts now it doesn't look like a dead end.
Hmmm
