Re: Fonts - Aveline - 06-29-2010
Here's a good list of the common fonts included for Windows and Macs. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html">http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html</a><!-- m -->
Anything other than those fonts listed, you will have to code the font to be embedded directly into the website itself, or use image files (not good for large bunches of text). To be honest... I would go crazy if all the text in the books was in the font used for the RPC's header. Small text like that should be clear and easy to read (and accessible to all browsers and machines) first, pretty second.

Ohh. I see what you mean. Yeah, that shouldn't be happening. I'm also using Firefox and I'm not seeing that. Maybe it's due to different versions or something. Does anyone else see these scroll bars?
When I was first building the site, those scroll bars were there. But I quickly adjusted the height of that line and they went away. So I don't know why you still see them. I'll see if the height can be adjusted any more.
Edit: Adjusted height. Do you still see it?
This is what the site -should- look like. If anything is off, please report it along with what Internet browser you use:

Yeah the one on the front page is gone now. However there are still scroll bars next to titles in each other section. For example there is one near "Charter" and it barely moves the title up and down... I don't think that's meant to be there.
Re: New RPC Website is Here! - Kylin - 06-29-2010
Try it now. You should only see scroll bars in the following locations:
Charter--Right side of the page.
Etiquette--All 3 subtopics on the right side of the pages only.
Anywhere else should not have any scroll bars.
I didn't take into account older versions of web browsers. Curse you people and your outdated technology! :ugeek:

Some are fixed; I still see it in Etiquette and Links (title captions only). Could be a screen resolution thing?

As an aside, what song is playing in the guild teasers page?
Re: New RPC Website is Here! - Kylin - 06-30-2010
Adjusted height on the etiquette and links pages. Hopefully that does the trick >.>

It's a track from the game
Edit: Eva has prepared some new potential bookmark tabs for the site. I uploaded them to the test site so you can see them. Better/worse? <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/test">www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/test</a><!-- w -->
Did not change links or lore tab yet. Don't click on any or you'll get navigated away from the test site to the actual main site.
Re: New RPC Website is Here! - Eva - 06-30-2010
Those can be fixed a little further. I'm not 100% happy with them. The 'fabricky' texture seems a bit off, and I think they'd look better if the colors were a bit more drab, but maybe it's just me. They would be relatively easy to fix up.
Re: New RPC Website is Here! - Faust - 06-30-2010
Scroll bar issue is resolved. I do like the new tabs better, though I agree that darker/more drab would be even better still. As for the font, in lieu of something flowery, maybe a good ghetto fix would be to use something with serifs and italicize it. Particularly something where the lower case "f" dips below the letter line. Could also just screencap it as an image for shorter text blocks?
