Nexdana v3 previews

[iJoe]

Hey,

I have been working on nexdana v3 for a while now and I think it's looking pretty good. With this version it is alot quicker to play a game, your now presented with game information as soon as you visit the site and the game menu's are alot neater now. Also in v3 you do not have to register to get access to most of the games. Instead, registered members can comment on games and will get access to a fun section.

As far as I know, the site only works in Firefox 3, however, when I can get IE on my pc again, I will try and get the site working for IE too.

Please check out the site and leave any comments you have in this thread.

Also, the things that are working so far are listed below, the whole site will be finished when I get feedback on whats been done so far.

Yeah that is a major floor. Maybe add comments for games or let people rate the games.

[iJoe]

You don't have to register to play the games :) This was commented on alot when I released v2 so I changed it all in v3 :)

Edit: The only reason for registering is to get access to the forum and to be able to comment on games :).

Make sure your visiting http://www.nexdana.com/v3 and not nexdana.com/v2 :)

Why iframes?????

[Meti]

I don't like it. Looks too "old"

[iJoe]

It's the only way I knew how, I was going to try the Ajax iframe loader but it woulden't work.

Edit: Meti, do you think if I changed the background image it would look better? From black to a lighter colour?

[Decode]

Why not scrap iFrames and just have the full page loaded each time.

[Calon]

e.g:

index.php?page=games
index.php?page=content

with content on each page, and a footer/header saved as a php variable or seperate file which is included on every page.

[iJoe]

I'll have a look how to do it and might try having a go :)

A rumour I heard was that this became popular as a Proxy for the Year 8s.

[iJoe]

Erm... I've had this domain for about a year and a half and i have always had it as a games site.... so I think your mistaken :P

[Kevin]

Looks nice ;]

Dont like the font in the latest news box but i'm assuming its temporary

[Matagascar]

You need some sort of logo.

[iJoe]

Oh god I never noticed that, i'll get onto that thanks :)

[GoldenMerc]

I realy realy like it ;o

[iJoe]

Thanks :)

[GoldenMerc]

I have 16k games if you need any, just send me a PM :)

[iJoe]

I might do soon yea :) I think Calon is going to help me re-code the site, so when i get a bit more feedback and thats done i'll be adding more games etc :)

IT works in IE just the latest news and did you know is out of place
and all of the games menu has a white backtground and no image so you cant see the game only a little bit so i can hover over

[Monopoly]

It's much better.
Although.. it gives the impression of one of those sites you get sent to if you mis-type a site. Like spelling youtube as youtbue or w.e.
