This is my first attempt at making a site using D3mon's new version of Snitz Speedball. I have tried to experiment and begin to exploit some of the possibilities of using Speedball CSS with Snitz. One example is the "in this section" menu that you can see if you look at a topic.
Most sections of the site use Snitz in some way. The Resources Area uses OWM's Link Manager. Any comments or constructive criticisms would be welcome.  |

I like the look of it, very slick. It's let down by the default Snitz graphics, though.  Also, the text in the "In This Section" appears slightly off center in IE6 and that table ocassionally appears outside and under the main table (see here here). A little more tweaking and I'd certainly be willing to nominate it for an award  Good work!

I know, the problem is that IE doesn't fully support CSS, so often I have to try and compromise between IE and all the other browsers, I'm still working around it - If worse comes to worst then I will make a seperate style sheet for IE. |

Maybe I was looking just as your server was under heavy load but..... your top nav and the nav down the left hand side load very fast, the rest of the page i.e. the forum itself, takes ages to load. (Guesstimate ~25+ seconds)
if you turn on the page timer thing, I could give you an exact figure. it doesnt seem very speedball to me right now.

Seems fine to me but page timer measures how fast the page executes rather than downloads. If you are on dial-up and have caching turned off then it probably would take a while since it uses lots of images.
However there is of course no money in theology generally  so it is on shared hosting - none of my users has ever minded probably because they all have uni terminals or broadband. |

| It looks great, but it's too bad that IE doesn't support CSS correctly, making almost everything appear different than I suspect you meant it to look. With that I mean the column on the left not fitting in the height and being different in width, as well as the right-hand column on the homepage of the site. A real shame, as if those problems weren't there, it'd be the best Snitz implementation I've seen in months. |

| I think it will be alright, I just need to add some javascript to 'hack' the CSS in IE but act normally in good browsers. |

Hopfully this is fixed now. I am using the height:expression property to replace the lack of min-height etc in IE. |

Hmmmmm, it only lets me use one height:expression property, two seem not to work - more bugs in IE... Oh well, now it is fixed but I have had to compromise. So to take your example, http://www.theology.me.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=58 , it is not possible to make the blue decoration appear at the bottom when the height of the box is small.
Is it okay now?
