Rather then maintain another forum, I decided to setup a section here for UOGateway support and discussion.

Death has also done a great job at making a brand new template for the site, which was added today. We struggled for about 3 hours to make it work in IE and called it quits.

If you're using IE, just get a real browser and thank me later. Here are some of many options:

- FireFox
- Opera
- Chrome (it's brand new, and it still kicks IE's ass)

Right,
The font on your graphs needs changing(its hard to read)
Add some top/bottom margins to the footer 10/30px max
Font size on the text above the footer needs to be a bit larger/clearer (on the actual individual server pages mainly)
Fuck knows what you have done to the font colour on the about page lol.

Other than that it looks ok :)

Can I rewrite the about page? The code looks nasty :(

You're probably using IE, it looks fine in firefox and IE tends to randomly decide to not bother looking at the CSS attributes and leaves the font black. The code passes W3C compliance.

Ya the about page may need a bit more work in terms of coloring. Likely similar to the text on the scrolls.

IE7/chrome/FF3

Not tried the rest yet.

It must read the font as the size is changed, ill look tommorow at it.

The scrolls need fixing in IE, at a glance it looks like your padding/margins

Ya the scrolls aren't working properly in IE which is likely the culprit of the images increasing the widths making it overlap. There's a few widths that may need tweaking as they are cutting off a bit of the scroll.

I changed everything to fixed size instead of % based width, it seems to have fixed it somewhat. IE still screws up though but it looks more to be a result of it's lack of proper PNG support.

Looking a lot better now. The footer looks wrong colour wise, but just not decided what would look better :s. Its too much the same as the background but not the same. The about page huts my eyes aswell, but it is 5:00 here and my eyes are tired lol

Whats screwd up now?

Oh, and you may be trying to make page loads faster and save bandwidth but the fact you have reused the image for the side of the scroll is noticeable ;)

Yep, that would be red playing with the forums.

Hmm weird, you're right. I noticed that on test but never realized it happened here too. I'll check into it.

Sometimes he even does it on purpose.
