Thinking about 'diving in' again this winter for another round of changes to Speedball (currently at version 2)
Projected changes might be:
- Another pass over the code for bandwidth savings
- SEO optimisations (courtesy of ASPWiz) whihc have proved very successful on my own forums
- Optimizing the CSS a little more
- removing some of the nested table structure where possible, replacing it with a more CSS-focussed layout
- Updates as suggested by helpful members since release of Speedball2
- Snitz 3.4.05 updates and fixes

| yup, I'd be up for some SB3 action (SB2 took my site from 4Gb to 500Mb a day and wouldn't say no to shaving a bit more off that)< |

Heres a taste of the kind of structure the new code might take: default.asp
800x600 screenshot of same code with CSS applied
Note that I've used DW's Automagic Code Formatting tool to make it easier to read than the standard Speedball output in this case.< |

| The code looks very good D3mon. Been getting into DIV and CSS myself and I am loving it. Keep up the good work on this mod.< |

Thanks Ric. I'm really grateful for the support everyone has shown here
Work continues on default.asp (and the associated support files) at the moment. I'll try to post an update later today.< |

Here are some examples of the progress so far...
default page
snitz css
I'm no expert on CSS positioning (other than floats) but I'm hoping that this structure allows for page elements to be freely positioned using advanced CSS positioning.< |

Looks good D3mon.
I'm working on replacing alot of the html tags with a style sheet on my forum and I have a question. I see that you have hard coded the forum variables (font, background, etc..) to an external style sheet. Is this done for bandwidth purposes? Just curious .< |

| helps with bandwidth, but is mostly for flexibility purposes - just edit the one style sheet to change any 'visual/layout' aspect of the forums is the goal.< |

It also helps those who want to use alternative stylesheets.
I recently 'CSSed' my forums. Took a lot of work and that's without re-creating the tables using DIVs. Best of luck and total respect!< |
