I've never liked Microsoft, but I've never hated it with a passion like many people seem to... until now that is. I try to make sure my site is compatible with Firefox and Internet Explorer, I run it by the community and everything works, then they go and release IE7 which messes everything up! ... As everyone's pointed out, the problem exists on numerous pages, and since I have yet to get IE7 myself, I've been unable to face the task ahead of me trying to sort this mess out. Thank you all for your comments and compliments though, I certainly do appreciate them! All Japanese reaverbot names are written in Katakana, so if the names sound like it then I would consider it only natural. As to the accuracy, I referenced Japanese source book scans and multiple Japanese websites, so fear not, they are correct. He's... flying through the air for the moment. He probably won't be smiling once he collides with the wall though. ^_^;; Good Lord, I hope not!

No offense, but the names on the site so far are only accurate as far as Romaji, and a few are even mistakenly transcribed in that department.

Oh? O.O No, I haven't seen your topic. I'll have to check it out if all of the references I've been using are wrong...

Well, not ALL of them. Just a few small tsus read as large tsus and the odd mismatched name. The rest being in Romaji isn't technically wrong either, but taking the extra step to interpret the Romaji as what the words were originally meant to be is the added touch I like to see.

Didn't mean to leave things hanging, raijin. I went out of town just after your post so I never got back to you with a response. I've had a look at your thread, and I'll be giving it a closer look soon to make the appropriate name changes. Many thanks for the help! Also, it seems NotMyName has sorted out the problem with the loading of the pop-up images. I've applied the fix to this page this page and would appreciate it if all of you would test this new version out and make sure it works for everyone before I go applying it to the rest of the site. Thanks.

It works fine for me. Whatever you changed seems to have helped.
And I’m still using Internet Explorer, if that is at all useful. Version 7.

I'm using Version 6 of IE and whatever you did it works. I'm still trying to figure out what you did though.
I have looked at the other ones and they do the same thing. I don't know. The Rage is very confused.

If any one cares (perhaps someone here would, not sure) heres the problem:
Before, the browser would be instructed to go to page "" and make a popup upon clicking in a different section (onMouse something). While the page should not change (In the standards, it shouldn't) your browsers were.
So i tried moving the onMouse code to href (instead of <a href="" onMouse="code"> it became <a href="javascript:code"> as an example of the change) and it seemed to keep the page from changing to itself. At that point, it would be impossible for it to change to any other page by clicking, also.
Anyways, it seems like the idea worked out, so fab will probably make the change site wide.

As you mentioned before Rage, you weren't having any problem to begin with then, just as I wasn't. Therefore you naturally wouldn't notice much change. XP Mlt, you were one of the ones who was having trouble, so thanks for the confirmation that all is well with you... Now where's everyone else, I'd really like to get this taken care of and move on, but I'd like a few more assurances. NMN, as I said before, thanks so much. I don't doubt that you fixed it, but after last time of everyone saying everything worked fine and then it ended up not, I'm just overly cautious.

I noticed that problem before. Every time a screenshot was opened, the page would refresh making all the thumbnails have to load again. This is especially annoying in the screenshot galleries because there are a lot more thumbnails that have to reload every time (and it seems the fix hasn't been administered there yet, because it's still happening.) The constant unneccessary refreshing is probably not good for bandwidth either.

I noticed that problem before. Every time a screenshot was opened, the page would refresh making all the thumbnails have to load again. Thats what this was supposed to fix, any decent browser doesn't seem to refresh on a "javascript:" command, including, but not limited to, Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.0 beta. (edit: Oh, and opera ) This is especially annoying in the screenshot galleries because there are a lot more thumbnails that have to reload every time (and it seems the fix hasn't been administered there yet, because it's still happening.) I don't think fabs spread it along yet. On the page he sent to me, the problem was fixed here, but it could very well be not working still... The constant unneccessary refreshing is probably not good for bandwidth either. Thats certainly not good for bandwidth, but depend on browser, and extensions, you may be caching images and not refreshing them on reload. Assuming that operas problem with not updating on refresh is spread to all elements, it will not reload many of the elements. Furthermore, Firefox will cache background images and never discard them unless you right click on it and press "View Background Image" and go back 1. Firefox does this to certain other elements (I'm pretty sure it does it for external CSS images, and it does it for external javascript). Oh, and internet explorer 7 caches alot like firefox does, so everything i said for firefox probably applies to IE7 too. Anyways, i just want to know if its fixed on this page because I'm not sure if fab has made the fix site wide. Oh, and if there are many web designers here, theres an alternative that doesn't use the "javascript:" command. Instead of using links, put it in div tags and use "onMouse*='code here' " in the div tag. If you want to change the mouse cursor, you need to use onMouseOver and onMouseOff along with the relevant javascript to change to change it to a hand and back to default. If you use CSS, CSS can handle this much cleaner and without javascript... Anyways, divs aren't the most widely supported thing in the world ATM, although there quite popular, so if your interested in the highest mobile compatibility, and of course, text browser compatibility, or even just really old browser compatibility, this solution is OK because javascript has supported this for a long time. Phew. edit: oh, and fab, your welcome, i'll be here to help with HTML/Javascript problems for a while, even though i won't be as active as before.

It is fixed on the "Arijig" page, I thought that was already verified. While my browser does cache images most of the time, it still has to load thewm one at a time, which is noticeable. Even when it takes a split second for each individual thumbnail to appear, when there are a few dozen thumbnails on the page, that time adds up. Absolutely none of this is happening on the one fixed page though.

Has anyone else been following the updates? Fab, the site is looking really great! Nice update line-up, too! ^^

I just noticed something. On the Mega Man Neo pages, none of the screenshots have their funny captions anymore, like the Junk Store Owner screenshot doesn't say something like "The Junk store Man ate everybody! RUN!!" Also, I saw that the screenshots for the early Beta were the same ones that were in a thread somewhere. Otherwise, great work so far, fab! I can't wait until it's done!

Musashi, Blues, thanks for commenting. *bows humbly*
Though a few interruptions have come along and spoiled my beautiful update streak, the fact is I'm working on stuff now that takes multiple days to complete, so it would have ended anyway. That means bigger stuff is on the way soon though!
Oh, and about those "funny" captions, I completely forgot they existed, but since you reminded me I figured I might as well add them to V4 for you.
