Author Topic: What is the worst thing about website designs? Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-14-2005 03:20 PM                     I hate sites with a black background and a non white font color.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 02-14-2005 08:55 PM                        quote: Ian Price so that you don't have to click back to the thumbnails to look at the next photo and then the next photo opens in yet another window. Actually, ANY page that automatically opens its links into new windows; these bug me, especially when the links are just to new pages on the same site and not external. Every browser has an Open In New Window option, and I'd rather control my own browsing habits and how many windows I have open.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-14-2005 10:55 PM                     Brain, If you use Firefox, try this little trick! Edit (or create) your "userContent.css" file to contain the following: [code] /* Change cursor for links that open in new window */ :link[target="_blank"], :visited[target="_blank"], :link[target="_new"], :visited[target="_new"] { cursor: crosshair; } [/code] As you can see, links that open into a new window will change the cursor to a "crosshair" when you roll over them with the mouse. The same goes for links that activate Javascript: [code] /* Change cursor for JavaScript links */ a[href^="javascript:"] { cursor: move; [/code] Activate HTTP Pipelining. (Which is off by default.) Edit or create your "User.js" file to contain: [code] // Enable pipelining: user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100); [/code] And, finally, if you want to block ads FOREVER without need of "Adblock" extension, edit or create your "userContent.css" file to contain: CLICK HERE for a really long text file that's too long to display on this page.  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 02-14-2005 10:55 PM                        I wish there were an option in Firefox (and perhaps there is) to have the browser intercept "open in new window" links and open them in new tabs instead.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-14-2005 11:04 PM                     Adam, There IS a way to do that... CLICK!  |  IP: Logged Don Cross Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-17-2005 01:56 AM                     Please feel welcome to borrow this idea Brad... How about a thread for "best of" websites, possibly with links if permitted? If someone here were to create their own site which would you prefer: Dreamweaver, the Windows equivilant, or something else?  |  IP: Logged
