Shinku's probably using adblock. Without the ads, the contents of the page stick to the left side of the window.

Ahhhhh, ok. Wasn't even thinking about that possibility. Thank you! Smile

Out of curiosity, if you re-enable it and check now does the main page stay in proper form?

I was hoping you would check that out in case others have the ads blocked as well. Smile

Yep, I noted to Tals last night it got left off the list.

Page still looks weird without ads.

Google Chrome 17.0.963.46 m

What are you using to get rid of the ads?

The stuff I tested on left the divs behind, and that should've triggered the JS to put back in placeholders, and the divs themselves should've stayed present even without content and at a forced size.

gtting the same results as shidoshi, but in firefox, using adblock plus 2.0.3

Same thing in Chromium (16.0.912.77) with Adblock Plus 1.2 Beta. Loads fine in the middle until the very end, then sudden Left shift. I'll mess with blocklists, maybe something good will happen.

Should show up now, and retain form.

New Project - MMOStatus.net - Shidoshi - 2012-02-13

Lol, love those black boxes.

I still hate ads with a passion, I can't go merry-go-lucky clicking around on pages without fear of going somewhere I don't want to. Not to mention visual polution and longer loading.

Should retain form even if you block the images. I'm not above making it randomize the image name and location just to ensure it gets seen though.

=P if it gets too annoying with ads I might not visit the site.
You could always do whatever Gmail did, I can't block their ads.

Anyway, it works. The site stays BEAUTIFUL even if I block your towers and footers. If you wanted you could just make them part of the background. Or make the whole thing a flash object.




EDIT: Nvm, seems like you only fixed the Home Page. Work harder, Leedin, darling!

Perfection takes time. Have to verify it works in one place before adding it to the global template.

Oh, the logo. The beautiful, beautiful logo.

Aside from that, this is a great idea and I hope it goes well Smile

How is the current/new hover-over info? Does that work?

New Project - MMOStatus.net - Raul - 2012-02-13

Agree with Leaves.
Dat logo.
Anyhow, you might want to add some Blizzard games if you can, to bring it to a much wider audience. I'm sure that a lot of people would enjoy having that (if such a thing doesn't already exist for Blizzard games, I don't rightly know).
Oh, and one more thing. For the hover-over vitals thing, can you make it so that the world-channel shows up? Just like
Vitals- Galicia09
for Galicia ch9.
