Duke33 Transcript Test

I was thinking of making some templates and re-doing the transcript pages, using the guys' images, rather than their initials. Maybe I'm just more of a visual person. Here's how the pages look today: RG Well starting now, if I'd have said this at the end it might have been ambiguous, but I said it at the beginning, there's two hours thats a whole show, so there's two more shows.
SM Two more shows including this one
RG Yes well obviously
SM So only one more show after this one?
RG Its only five past one.
SM After this show one more.


And, here's my proposal. thoughts?

Chris's Opinion

I don't think its that good. It takes a little bit longer for me to work out who it is. But that might just be me being stupid. Good idea though.


Joe's Opinion

Interesting idea, but a bit distracting to look at - maybe need different images (same colour background? facing same way). Maybe we could have animated gifs for laughter?? JoeW

BTW

BTW, this is a great site!

andthat's picture

hey guys .... i'm not sure how to include the picture that andthat contributed on the forum. it is good and i considered putting it where the b&w pic of the 3 of them is right now but i don't know how to get the size to work properly. or how to get the whole text box to be larger? it looks like this when i do it. does anyone have a suggestion or know how to tweak it?

Images, when given "right" or "left" properties, are given the "float: right/left;" style, which basically cancels them from extending their container. To make a float stretch it's container, you have to add <div style="clear:both"></div> tags to each side. It's pretty complicated. :\ I have put in the tags, but there is a whole lot of whitespace now. I'll keep working on it and see if I can come up with something that looks nice. - Squeek

oh my. it hurts my head just to read that. BUT i need to learn, so thanks -- i will try to digest it. i guess it's not a good fit there but it's such a good pic that i'd love to use it somewhere. maybe between us all we can come up with a good spot or way to tweak things to fit it. or not.

Alright, so I cleaned up the code and made the picture not stretch the box so much. It would be great to add some more text in there to fill up some more space, but for now it looks pretty decent. Tell me what you think. - Squeek
