^ Might want to be finished right and put up.

Seems to me that there's a lot of bs in the source.

I think it would make things a lot easier if there were one standard link color rather than having to put <font color="#ffffff"></font> in every link on the side bar..

Also a standard size and/or font would make things less cluttered as well as make the pages load a small bit faster (I know, we all have high speed internet, and it takes mere seconds, but we have to be considerate of 56k's, as well. Same applies to the links.)

div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:px; height: px; z-index:1; left: px; top: px"

^ that'd be useful in removing the spacers we're using..

Make the sidebar an Image (minues the text and pictures), and put it as the backround... Use that to put the side bar text in, make things seem a lot prettier, also less table bs, and etc. When I build the pledge page, I'll show you what I mean.

This is all just a suggestion, but I'm thinking that if NYRA used less images (spacers, and etc. not actual pictures) the page would load much faster and be much more user friendly to the slower modems..

Of course, we can say... FUCK SLOW MODEMS! And, yeah...

It's not ours. It's left over from 5 years ago or more. We've been dealing with the mess for a while. If you've got skillz then you and me can do a lot to help with that.

k.. well, do me a favor, remind me how to put an image as a backround, so I can set this up right..

One note though, that looking at the source code isn't the real code. The menu is inserted via a perl script, and isn't particular for each page. So in the real code, there is just one line that says "run this script" and it inserts the menu code that is stored elsewhere. So going to "view source" can be deceptive.

That being said, yes its a mess.

Really?

x.x. that makes things more complicated..

See, when I look at the source code, it shows the menue in this big table and etc which is very sloppily done with images and etc...
