Hi guys,

been a while since i made a contribution to the community.

Having finished my new website, I`d love to get your feedback on what can be improved, fixed and taken to the next level.

It is a pure flash site powered by a database/XML. Some have reported several technical issues.

running on a pretty fast machine, I cant see any drawbacks.

Be so kind to cast your eye over my new project and make me aware of the mistakes I`ve made.

if interested in specific bits of the site, let me know... Bear in mind that the site is currently acting as a template so does not feature any real content for the time being.

cheers

It works fine for me, however you might want to add a preloader, as for a while you just sit there waiting for it to load (and i'm on Hi-Speed, imagine dial-up)

I'm on a school network and it was a little slower for me. I really enjoyed how the letters of the name changed colors, I would maybe recommend keeping the menu's there if possible and just reloading the pictures?

personally I find full flash sites to be super annoying. It loads pretty slow, you may want to look into loading it all before attempting to display it.

What's with the comments? I have to click a name to view the comments individually? You may want to rethink this.

What is the minimum size you built this for? It causes both scrollbars to appear on my laptop, which seeing as you menu is at the very bottom, made them unavailable at first.

It loads fairly well, but it keeps changing to the loading screen fairly often, and that is really annoying. I can't help but get tired of waiting for the information to load and leave the site.

I suggest that you change the site to preload the images while the others are visible and not change the image until the other one is loaded fully. This will make it not go to the loading screen so often and will be better for your site overall.
