| I've always thought your site was put together well, but there have been times I've noticed it loading up extremely slow. Is it just me? |

You mean MeTV, dayve? Ay, having a bit of trouble with it at the mo'; methinks the database has gotten too big for Access! Guess I'll have to look at converting it to MySQL when I get back to working on it full time.
Marcel, dude, that spoiler looks funky.  Always makes me jealous when other people manage to get dotted borders to work for them.

yeah, MeTV is the site I was referring to. What is the size of your Access Database? I visited a forum that had well over 100 MB Access db and it didn't seem slow.

I've been using dashed borders for awhile, in fact this spoiler dashed css area looks similar to my quote feature.

It's just under 40.5MB but, at the same time, MeTV version 5 was my first major ASP project and there is so much in there code-wise that I now know isn't exactly optimised for peak performance. It'll all have to wait 'til I get back to MeTV in the new year. Gonna roll out v6, which fixes a lot of the problems in v5 and, if things are still slow, then it'll be time to move to MySQL.

The server is everything - my code isn´t excellent either, access database almost 40MB, but it´s really fast anyway.
Anyway, great work with http://woo.ie/ !!!! 2 thumbs up from me ! |

Dayve, I'm starting to worry about you. You haven't been yourself these last few weeks.
Current 5 Day Schedule:
Daytime Job: 50 Hours
School: 10 Hours
Client Projects: 20 Hours
Homework: 5 Hours
Family Time: 10 Hours
=========================
Total: 95 Hours
120 Hours in a 5 day work week and somewhere in there I have to get some sleep.
Yeah, I'm not all together lately. |

Completely offtopic ; For the dotted border, simply use the CSS code for it.
I've done this:
In inc_func_common.asp, replaced the old spoiler line with this one.
fString = doCode(fString, "[spoiler]", "[/spoiler]", "<div align=""right"" id=""spoiler""><table class=""spoiler""><tr><td class=""spoilertd""><span class=""spoilertext"">spoiler:</span></td></tr><tr><td class=""spoilertd2""><span class=""spoilertext2"">", "</span></td></tr></table></div align=""right"" id=""spoiler"">")
In inc_header.asp added these lines to the CSS area:
"table.spoiler {width: 90%; border: 0px " & strTableBorderColor & " solid}" & vbNewLine & _
".spoilertd {width: 100%; border: 0px DCDCDC solid}" & vbNewLine & _
".spoilertd2 {background-color: #F5F5F5 ; width: 100%; border: 1px "& strForumLinkColor &" dashed; border-collapse: separate; padding: 0.3em}" & vbNewLine & _
".spoilertext {font-family: ""Lucida Sans Unicode"", ""Verdana"", ""sans-serif""; font-size: 9pt}" & vbNewLine & _
".spoilertext2 {font-family: ""Lucida Sans Unicode"", ""Verdana"", ""sans-serif""; font-size: 9pt; color: #F5F5F5 }" & vbNewLine & _
In fact this is the same code as I've used for the quote-code just as Dayve said, with the only difference that I replaced the 'quote:' text with 'spoiler:', and changed the font colour to the cell background color. |

Thanks for all the positive words, guys; makes three months as an online hermit worth the work.
Dayve, your week sounds as bad as mine; never worked out exactly how many hours I put in every week for fear my system might realize it should have shut down a long time ago!
Marcel, I meant getting dotted borders to work from a design point of view - they always seem out of place & ugly when I try to use them on any of my sites!

I believe this can be dramatically simplified by simply adding this (using inline css instead):
fString = doCode(fString, "[spoiler]", "[/spoiler]", "<small>Spoiler:</small><div style=""background-color:" & CColor & ";padding:2px;border:1px dashed silver;color:" & CColor & ";"">", "</div>")
there really is no need for a table.
