That's cool! I do agree with slinger that the text is a little hard on the eyes, though. Maybe make it a little darker.

Anyway, I'm not really that great with HTML and CSS, and my only real strong programming language is Processing, so I don't think I'll join.

Yeah, I agree. Does anyone have an alternative color suggestion?

For text, I think it could be a better font - Gill Sans MT looks nice and comes with computers. It could also be a little darker, like #36648B (▉▉) or #4973AB (▉▉).

The header thingy with links on it is a little too tall and the color is awkwardly vivid. I think a better color would be #1874CD (▉▉), plus taking out the gradient. You could also make the font something else - Arial looks weird in large sizes, so something like IrisUPC Bold would be nicer. The color could be lighter, like #BCD2EE (▉▉).

Hexadecimal color codes, arranged by color.

I can't join due to the fact that while I can think of how to make something look better, I can't actually make it look better (i.e., I can't actually do HTML, PHP, CSS, etc.)

I played around with the styling offline and in my opinion the text in the navigation bar should be #13bc8a. You should also actually use CSS to make the background of the navigation bar, instead of an image -- you can do a lot more that way. 

EDIT; Wait, it is an image, right? Because in the CSS there's "background: url(/navigation-bg.png) no-repeat;" and that leads to here, which is of course the background for the navigation menu, but by right-clicking on it there's no "Copy image URL" or anything...

It's because it's a background image.

I can probably make the Scratch Games 
Is there a job without programming, but maybe an idea job?
I'd definitely do that.

I can make better menu bar buttons.

Hey all! I've been busy, but I'll be replying to posts here and making changes to the site soon!

What is the background color on the website?
nevermind.

You can send a ticket without actually filling anything in (apart from the captcha).

Yes, but that doesn't seem like it'd cause any problems.

It still seems sort of... Unprofessional, I guess. 99% of contact us forms require something to be entered.

That'd be awesome! You have ftp access, so go ahead and play around with the menu, but make a back up before you start playing around, just in case. 

Ok, I'm in charge of navigation, am I not?  Please direct your suggestions to me.

hey, steve, could I get ftp access?

I trust you, but I only want to give access to those who really need it (jji7skyline for the php ticket system and poopo for the projects java page)...is there something you want changed?

That's because it's a background image.  Right click it again, and click on view background image.  You can then right click on it there, and you can save it.
