Title: Suggestion Box: Contact form on front page to the PM
Post by: Grimm on Tue 27 Oct 2015
The website is looking awesome. The intro pop up for the flyers looks good, theres some minor format error with it but I know those will eventually be hammered out. (when it pops up it somehow tucks itself under the menu options, maybe tell it to pop up a little bit lower)

This is just a suggestion but I think the front page also needs a contact form. This way first time visitors can send the PM a message, or hatemail, or whatever, without getting too deep, such as joining the forum.

other than that..  it looks good. the font is a nice touch

The popup is designed to popup into the centre of the screen/window. Change the size of your screen or window and you'll see what I mean. But if there are enough complaints about it getting in the way, I can move it around.

The Contact Form is a good idea. I'll have to add that ... I don't know why I didn't think of it myself?

The font is one of my favourites that I've been using since Windows 3.11 for Work Groups. They removed it in Windows 95, but I held onto it. The ability to successfully integrate custom fonts into all modern web browsers is a new CSS3 addition. Anyone who cannot see the unique old English style lettering in the headings needs to update their browser.

Ahh ok, I didn't know if the popup was supposed to be like that, it probably is just my screen resolution..  this pc is older so....  yeah.

Its a good font..  is it the standard windows font style? I have a collection of 9,000 fonts I don't use but I just like to keep around incase I need them

It's a standard Windows font from the early 90's ditched by Microsoft for Windows 95.

Here's one I've been working on ...


You can also access it from http://www.creativitystorefront.com/send_email.html (http://www.creativitystorefront.com/send_email.html)

You didn't think I was going to set up something that I couldn't use anywhere I wanted on our network, did you?  :D

Update: The email system has gone through several coding variations, style redesigns and thoroughly tested. It can now be made to fit anywhere on our network.

It's already come in handy a few times on the Storefront http://www.creativitystorefront.com/send_email.html (http://www.creativitystorefront.com/send_email.html) ... Itself going through its final day of coding and style redesign after I was notified of one fault leading me to discover several others in the system, forcing me to rethink my coding methods in order to get around the severe limitations the Storefront hosts lumber us with.
