I really, REALLY like the look of the 1911.  It actually makes me want to go get a permit.

Here it is with the 1911.  

[Fuse]

agreed! I was actually pricing them out a few days ago.

Changed the dogtag font to Courier, rather than Bank Gothic.

Can you send me those files, Manic? Also, I need to find a way to make the text work for each page, including the Report one that has a form to fill out. I'm not sure how to do that when it is slightly tilted the way you have it (currently I use iFrames, and I don't know if you can tilt an iFrame).

How about I make an image for each page in photoshop?  That way you don't have to worry about orienting the text in an iFrame (which I don't think is possible anyway).  Then you'll just have to put the links in their proper places.  I'll post some examples in a minute here.

Ok. So then each link would have to reload the page with the center image changed, I guess? And I still don't know how the form would work. If it is all image, then how can the user input text into it and submit it?

Need to run an errand with the girlfriend.  Will finish when I get back.

[Tbone]

Ok, no prob

[Manic Velocity]

All the pages.  Do you think the "Report" form could just be put on a copy of the page, minus the note paper and envelope?

Btw, are they still sending out Beta invites to the applicants?  Or do we just need to wait for another wave?

[Tbone]

I feel like I read somewhere that their North American inclusion of the Beta test wouldn't begin until next year sometime. Due to the location of their servers, there's significantly more lag for people on this side of the pond.

Also, a few weeks ago they mentioned reaching their server capacity for the time being, until they upgrade the servers. Since then, there's been no word of more invites/waves going out.

I'm guessing January would be the earliest for random NA invites to start going out.

What font did you use for the dogtags? Apparently I don't have it...

[Phienyx]

My dog tag contribution:



For the info tag, the rank/function can be eliminated if it does not apply.  But can be used for officers ranks or to list other regular member ranking such as what is listed as forum labels.  As we are a "secret" organization, I didn't want too much info listed here. I figured call sign, rank and then a id number.

Ok, site 3.0 is up.

Known issues:

-Font on dogtags for "Report" page is slightly different than the rest (I need the original font).
-Font for the "Report" form is different than the rest (American Typewriter is a Mac font, and is not a cross-platform font that can be used in basic HTML).
-Page shifts slightly to the left on Report page (reason unknown)
-"Error" and "ThankYou" page for form is a placeholder. I want to have an envelope like you're mailing in the crime report, but the "Submit" portion of the form is loading in the iFrame instead of loading the entire page.

courier new or just courier are good for the dogtags.
