Would appreciate any thoughts?

They are just great Bruce!
Especially this one:

The only change I would do is to center it on the page.

Hi Inge,

Thanks, yeah alot of people are saying they really like that one. Its actually pretty funny plus I have been tracking it the click through ratio is triple any thing else I am using.

Maybe you can help me on the centering problem, I use Fire Fix and its centered fine. Not sure why it isnt in IE and I am assuming you are probably viewing usig that. Its iteresting because I have the same problem

on www.eztraffic-host.com which is my new hosting company graphics and traffic exchange purchasing company. That one stays on the left also.

If you know what I need to do please let me know.

Well I am at level 10, sure wold be nice to get placed on the team a little ahead of time LOL.

Well either I have observed wrong or you have changed the script. There's no problem with centering now!

I wouldn't use a table for a simple thing like this. An image can be placed on the page alone, without the "aid" of a table. This page is so simple, it's really no bother, but tables are generally assumed to be "uncosher" and in html 5 they will be deprecated.

About the team: It would be better if you reached level 9 before I invite you. After all, that's the primary criterium for being a member, because low activity is bad for our team results (average). We want the best we can get, so you'd better prove you're one of us! :)

DIdny change anything LOL. BUt I appreciate and value the input on the table usage. As I am very new, I would like to know those things movig foraerd. Guess I was just so use to using a table for organizing my HTML.

I was just kidding about the team, I know it is important to have all memberss on the team contributing and carrying their own load. After all thats what makes a team successful,, and I want to join a winner.

Tables are fairly easy to use but they have some drawbacks. You may have noted that pages in this forum take a long time to load. That's because it's all in a table, and everything must be loaded before anything is shown.

About the team: I'm sure you'll reach the required level before long, and I'll be happy to send you an invitation.
Just PM me when you're ready :)

Hi Bruce, depending on which Splash Page Creator you used...It really does not matter what browser you are using since almost all editors allow you to align your content Left --- Center --- Right --- Full Justify ... and you do not necessarily have to know HTML or other scripting code either.

I know enough HTML to get me into trouble (just kidding) but it did help me to create my Splash Page using TEtoolbox (http://www.tetoolbox.com/splash/4188/) and I am on IE7...

Hi Bruce. :) I see things are off to a good start with Diamond Surf!

I figured I would take a crack at helping you out with the splashpage dilemma here. Your splash4 shows fine for me but that splash2 is showing left aligned in IE...

I pulled your source and this is what I suggest you use for code to keep the alignment functioning properly in any browser:

Splash2 (I input the php code you need in there to call affiliate IDs properly for your members as well)

<?php include("system.php"); ?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Diamond Surf</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="000000" LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
<br>
<div align="center"><a href="http://diamond-surf.com?r=<?php echo $_GET['r']; ?> " TARGET="_blank"><img src="http://diamond-surf.com/images/splashpages/splash2.gif" border="0"></a></div>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Just paste that in notebook or whereever and name it splash2.php or another name to reference it. :)

As for splash4, since the background color is the same, just replace the image link encased in the code above.

I hope that helps!

You certainly got a lot of people sending out solos for you launch;)

Joined your TE but having surfed it much. I join 'em all for solo credits.

Surfing more then 4 at a time seems like cheating.

Which TE did I see you in rotation on today? I did see a couple and noticed them a tad but I was mainly looking for the easy credits in the solo E-mails.

Might have been Crazy Elk Surf where I saw some of you splashes.

But I think I would have noticed them on another TE as well.

[bformhals]

Hello,

Which TE did you join was it mine? I hope so?, and which launch are you referring to? would like to be able to track this. Need a solo just contact me.

Would appreciate any thoughts?

I use IE7 too and do not have any problems getting things to center...

Anyway, noticed that your content is over too far to the right on your
main site...Would be a good idea if you took care of that ASAP!

like Inge and Okegge were yesterday!

[jeweledbluerose23]

Both splash pages look great to me. I really got a giggle from splash4 heh. I don't hardly use IE for much these days, since IE tends to freeze up my computer, but both look nice in Fire Fox on my end of the net. :)

[bformhals]

Thank you, many people have said the same thing about that splash page. It actaully has a great response rate also.

[jeweledbluerose23]

You're welcome! :) I can understand why splash4 would have a good response rate, really grabs at a person's attention. I tend to like splash pages like that one, instead of just a basic run down of the site, make them more original that way. Good work and good luck. :)

Hi bformals,

I liked your splash pages also. I wish I could create like that, simple but nice.

I see you are looking to join team up and forward, but if you don't want to wait, Surfin Bunnies doesn't have such a high level to get in and it is a lot of fun. Doesn't need a special invite either. We meet are requiremets by averaging 20 pages a day.
