Cricket Web The New Design - what do you think?

[James]

It's really cool. I especially love the way it doesn't match the forum

Hehe - that shall change within the next month or two!

 

[James]

and for those of you interested here's CW's browser stats.

MS Internet Explorer 83.9 %
Firefox 7.9 %
Opera 3.9 %
Unknown 2.2 %
Mozilla 1 %
Netscape 0.5 %
Safari 0.3 %
Firebird (Old Firefox) 0 %
Konqueror 0 %
Galeon No 139 0 %

This is only from the past year though. Since the site began in 2001 Netscape 3.0 is still 2nd on the all time list.

I have IE but don't use it. I use Firefox!

Within 2-3 months, Firefox has got 7.9% share of the year.

I'm on Firefox.

Just a quick comment, is there any way of changing the colour of the Google Ads thing? Don't know why but it just looks a little out of place in yellow.

Just a thought, other than that it looks pretty sweet. Good work guys.

 

[James]

I put it in yellow for a purpose - to stand out and it's working according to the number of click throughs we're now getting through GoogleAds. A 400% increase so no I won't be changing it

Amazing to see Mozilla jump ahead, and Netscape virtually die... Looks like they have some serious issues/competition to content with.. And now its not just IE

 

[James]

Doesn't Netscape = Mozilla and Mozilla = Netscape? Same company isn't it?

I always thought Mozilla made Firefox and Netscape were a seperate entity... Maybe some techno could comfirm which way

About the Mozilla Foundation

Established in July, 2003, with start-up support from America Online's Netscape division, the Mozilla Foundation exists to provide organizational, legal, and financial support for the Mozilla open-source software project. The Foundation has been incorporated as a California not-for-profit corporation to ensure that the Mozilla project continues to exist beyond the participation of individual volunteers, to enable contributions of intellectual property and funds and to provide a vehicle for limiting legal exposure while participating in open-source software projects.

Where is Avant Browser in the list?By far I think Avant Browser is the best,even better than Firefox I believe,having used both...but one thing's for certain IE,is out of picture for me...Interestingly today's Newspaper states MS is bringing up new and improved IE 7...I never believe them but lets see...

Oh by the way excellent new layout of CW...though I voted it was 'Very Good' Just because of a little bit of old news there but after reading the posts by James here I wish I could go back and vote for Excellent...

No sign of Avant in any of our stats Nikhil. Perhaps its within the Unknown listing.

I still don't see what the big deal is about Firefox and I personally don't see any major differences that would make me switch.

Avant Browser identifies as IE, because it's just an overlay, rather than a browser on it's own.

Mozilla were the genesis of Netscape, but these days, Netscape is owned by AOL. Mozilla's gone on designing it's own suites and Firefox, but has little to do with Netscape anymore, although Netscape still uses the open-source mozilla code as a backbone.

The new site design looks great to me, James - have you guys considered widening the resolution though? Either way, it's a big improvement on the old layout, which was a little wonky for me at times (Firefox user here).

Only criticism I have is related to the vbulletin upgrade at the forums - the "reply with quote" button seems to be missing.

Oh ok - never heard of the browser myself. So many popping up!

That's exactly what I thought

The new site design looks great to me, James - have you guys considered widening the resolution though? Either way, it's a big improvement on the old layout, which was a little wonky for me at times (Firefox user here).

I considered basing the new design on 1024*768 but a lot of our users still use 800*600 as you can see from our resoultion stats below. Due to that it remained at 800*600.

1024x768 45.40%
800x600 42.67%
1280x1024 5.38%
1152x864 4.08%
640x480 1.19%
Other 0.88%
1600x1200 0.37%

Only criticism I have is related to the vbulletin upgrade at the forums - the "reply with quote" button seems to be missing.

Fixed - thanks

How many people have registered addresses?

And what are they??

I want to add people to my address book. I only posted again because I couldn't edit as I wasn't allowed. Adding people is fun.

If people want to give you their @cricketmail email addresses they can feel free but I won't be giving them out.
