magicx, css is easy as pie..
its just one of those big words to describe a simple idea.
you should learn it, gives you so much more customisey freedom

As far as i know, it mixes up layer and frame based web design to get the advantages of both.
I got a css menu template and allsorts we can use. Trust me, don't worry about it. Content now.
Custom Style Sheets (CSS) just reduces repeat code by tieing it to the css. Thats how I remember it anyway.
yah.. css is not neccesarly to do with frames or layers, but it can work with both. It is just a way of customising most features of html code.
most common usage in real life is just costomisng text, like making hyperlinks different, so that they arnt underlined, or so that they change font when mousovered. And those pages with costomed scroll bars are also css.
You specify your css stuff in one spot, and then refer to it later when you want to use it. its like making html 'presets' that you can refer to easily.

Raz, any idea about the design of the Site? I'd like the style of www.philosomatika.com, nice green, main menu on top and a layered detail menu on the left side.

Just make sure you don't tie the CSS to form but rather function. Use a cascading structure that encompasses your entire page and goes down to the smallest distinction.
E.g.
body { ... }
#header { ... }
#header a { ... }
#sidebar { ... }
#sidebar.box { ... }
All too often you see people who claim they use CSS, and still end up putting class="..." in every <a> tag or similar. That's just stupid.

i didnt get that ucd.. maybe im just super dense
Well the sites on my friends computer but here's a screenshot of it, it hasn't got the header design on it though. The blue text in the top right is a java applet and the menus on the sides are automatically added using css. I've talked to darren and he agrees that we can use the basic design in it because it will be a subdomain of rockworld. It doesn't look much like this but it's much better with the header on it. I'll post another screenshot with the header when i get one but this is all i can find on mine for now. By the way the loading time with everything is only a few seconds on the home page. All images are gifs and the setup uses the minimum ammount of images possible.
Nice design raz 🙂 Simple & easy to use (by the looks of it). Tho the colors ain't my cup of tea, but i can live with that 😛
Don't blame me, but i dont like it. Maybe we should do (thos who like to) diffrent D-Signs and then vote for the best one? Just an idea..
Bah GIFs... use PNG instead. Down with software patents!
colors can be changed i hope.
does this mean you are going to be the full-time webmaster dude raz?
sigh.. im filling up the board with my posts, im bored and at work and getting paid 25$ Australian an hour! hahahaaa

i see we have a next billy gates here 😛 I have a question : cant winamp.com provide some space for a winamp.com/avs or avs.winamp.com ? I dont think we are asking too much...
considering nothing else has it, and we are a relativly small community compared to others at winamp.com, i think its unlikely.
Im still at work. i think i might get fired today.. i havnt done anyhting yet.

I hope i'll be a full time webmaster. If it takes off anyway. Get paid to play 2 player goldeneye and occasionally make an update would rule. 😁
What did i say about the site looking better with a header 😛 Well change it or not, i have a completed design if you guys want to use it.

Raz how about helping your friend in making the site and put it up online then tell us about how good it looks 😛 We may be a small community but we rule baby!
Raz - it needs some nice design up the top just to 'theme' the site.
By the way Im sure I can get this website to fund itself. Im not sure I like the idea of putting it on rockwell. But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. welldone.
I'd like to design some artwork for it if thats ok?

I'll get a screenshot off my friend in a couple of hours when he comes on msn with the header on it. Been really busy lately, 3 out of 16 exams done. Haven't the time to AVS and site design.
16 exams ? uh...Thats a lot! Good luck!
Question - if we will have a new website with forums too,what will happen to this forum ?

They shalt remaineth!
n00bs love it here.

Of course this site will remain - this is where everyone comes.
WE NEED MORE CONTENT!
Just so you know ben working on forums for our site, we'll have a fully functional forum along with a knowledge base.
Just an idea, how'bout having multiple languages to choose? At least French, Spanish and German could be added. I'm sure that IF we once have enuff content there are some Volunteers that would translate it into their first language.
Magic.X: Never trust regular users to produce remotely accurate translations. They will commonly:
- Use different translations for english computer-words than the 'common standard' (e.g. your OS)
- Contain hints of dialect and grammar errors.
- Never be updated because the person who did it just felt bored those 5 minutes and isn't interested anymore.
- Get forked as people disagree over what words to use (just search for 'francais, français, french' or 'italian, italiano' on this site and count the results).
Call me a pessimist, but I have yet to see a fan-produced Dutch translation/language pack that doesn't suck...

On the other hand, Dutch is a minor Language so there's only little chance someone will do...
minor language, eh? i think dutch is spoken in more countries than you probably imagine (think of the many former colonies).
anyway, before talking of translating content (and i agree with unconed on this idea) you better produce content first. i don't see anything happen on this issue.
my personal opinion is, that raz should give the people user-accounts, so they can upload their content at will. this will motivate people to start and motivate others to follow. waiting will change nothing (or at least not much).

I agree killahbite. User accounts would definitely be good to have.
