Dead Men Walking are pleased to announce that, having secured the services of a top Swedish design consultant, we are ready to unveil our brand spanking new homepages.

Simply point that browser thingy here (http://www.deadmen.co.uk) to be truly amazed.

Come to think about it the site does have certain Ikeaish minimilist flatpack (with a piece missing) pseudo tendencies :)

I must have totally FUBAR group of DNS settings, cos when I go to the homepage I get this:

(http://www.btinternet.com/~p.d.herbert/crosswiredhomepage.JPG)

I can't get to Oldie's availability site either.  And I can't get on to my FTP  :x

Anyone got any ideas what is going on?

I was sort of kidding but not. I have had the same problem when we changed the DNS at work. Then I had to clear not only the cache but the history and cookies aswell before it worked.  :roll:  Hope it works ... otherwise you will not see the working server status. :D

Well it would require some fixing with the background image and rearranging some stuff but with time and effort doable. Still I have 1280x1024 in resolution and I am actually not bothered by it. Actually I think it is good that I have space for my ICQ client by the side and still get the whole page.

I can have a look at it later but it is not on the top of my list. I am a bit afraid that it will look kind of funny though, but I am open to suggestions as it is our page and not mine. My preccccccioussssssccssss ... we wants it ... WEEE WAAAANTS IT.  :twisted:   :lol:  Until then I suggest you make your browser window smaller.

When I designed the page I had the following requirements in mind.

Actually I was going to ask you if it was ok if i pinched those pictures and the accompanying texts to the LAN section of the page?

Well, I haven't seen Smite in action (thank god for that ;) ) but it seems to be lots of talk and less action.  :lol:

We still love him the way he is. I think he knows that we don't laugh at him but near him. ;)

Could we lose the server info on the front page of the website so we do not have to suffer those stupid popups? Why not add a link to gametiger so that people can click on it if they want to see who is on. The popups are irritating IMHO - and before anyone says get a popup stopper, I don't want one. They break the functionaslity of too many other sites.
