    @aaronsilber - I am still waiting for your intelligent input into this thread that might lead towards some improvement on the site. If you don't have any, then don't comment. I don't need to know your thoughts on these things as the…

  • WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine

    Hi Doc, We don't ignore our device users. We have a viewport width setup which brings the whole page into screen, so the images can be seen at best and text can be zoomed into. The reason we have not taken that any further is because we want …

  • WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine

    Hi aaronsilber, Yes, i do realise. Resolutions are getting bigger and bigger and 1024x768 and below only account for less than 8% of our visitors, so it is not a big concern of mine. @Josh - I will certainly take this into consideration with the n…

    Hi Josh, Thanks for your input. Sounds like i need to do some reading on formatting text for best readability as i never considered it to be that bad in issue 4. The previous issues were a bit of a nightmare, which is why we changed anyways! One of…

    Hi Doc, Which issue were you reading? We changed the font from from our last issue to Arial - surely you can't think Arial is unreadable!? ; ) We did have a pretty ugly font before that, however - so I could sympathise with that! We also cha…

  • WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine

    Hi Mark, The main thing is that we don't want the navigation (or anything else) on the pages to be too intrusive unless called upon. I had thought of extending the reminder roll-out just a teeeeny bit though. Another thought that i had was …

  • Wordpress: Preload next post images

    I figured it is a pretty tall ask - but there must be a way of gathering the Next post ID and it's attached Featured image/images. I did come across this which is kind of on the right lines: function twpw_imagepreload() { $args3=array( '…

  • Cookie activated jQuery

    @johnnyb - I think you are spot on! Makes sense when i look at it. So what really need to do is say ; If the cookie = 'yes', do nothing Else, run the animations and set the cookie to 'yes'. How would that translate in code? C…

    I could quite easily go into our full stats and annual turnover, but i would rather not divulge that information. I think this thread is over as i am not receiving any kind of help at all now - instead a barrage of how i should listen to what is b…

    Thanks Mark. rickylamerz mentioned early on about AJAXing. Is there a way of 'buffering' a certain amount of pages after the current page has been loaded?

    Hi Mark, What were you doing for 5.30 minutes?! By simply clicking on what is directly in front of you, in the middle of the page, you can be reading the latest issue in 10 seconds - it's not THAT difficult.. Pageviews again are high - avera…

  • Cool vertical parallax page scroll effect.

    It's nice, but if you use a scrolling-wheel it looks jerky and weird. I actually didnt realise what you were talking about at first as i used my wheel. REALLY nice when you use the bar though - trippy!

    Hi Mark, If you have ever read a magazine of this nature - or in fact most magazines on a particular topic, the contents page is NEVER the first page. I am not completely sure why this is, but it doesn't matter - we want our magazine to be as …

    Thanks for trying mate - but didnt help my situation. I decided to ditch the private posts all-together and have installed a basic 'Member Access' plugin. Cheers
