Hello folks,

I started the Caronia (II) Time-Line as a diversion
for cold winter evenings back in January this year.
The site at < http://www.caronia2.info/ > has quite
blown me away in the response, feedback and sheer
numbers of returning visitors. With the latter I
regularly achieve a 1.33 to 1.35 return ratio which,
for a single-subject web site, simply amazes me!

One area of disappointment has been the Forum which
uses the same software as used here. I'd appreciate
some tips on making that aspect a liitle more
successful.

I'm not sure that I'm that I'm qualified to comment
on other sites, but I'm happy to give it a go. If you
come to "cruise on the Green Goddess", do enjoy your
visit! You might like to post a message in the forum :-)

It took me a few seconds to loacte the link to the forum so it needs tobe in a more prominent postiion. Also, might be better if it linked directly to the forum page. The forum looks good but I'm not keen on it opening in a new window and removing the toolbars. Generally, a nice site. Good luck with it.

Nick

Hello Nick,
Thanks for visiting my site and your comments. I
would agree with you whole-heartedly if there were
not very nearly 300 other pages on the site to view.
The Forum is only one small portion of it.

Oh dear, I had hoped that the reviews here would have
been about my whole site, rather than just one small
aspect of it, which I have only adapted. The Forum is
not my design! The reason that I have put the Forum
into its own floating window is that it gives
visitors a chance to browse the rest of the site
_without_ needing to leave the forum.

Thanks Nick - The site is certainly generating a lot
more interest than I could have ever hoped for!
BTW - I took a quick look at your site and I imagine
that running a spell check on the opening page may
help. The offending word being gadget... What a shame
that the link underlines cut off the tails of g's and
y's, it's reminiscent of the early dot matrix
printers. It's something I'm hoping to sort out myself.
Has anyone got any ideas?

First, off lovely site! I enjoyed the images you used on the border around the logo it is truly simple and beautifully brilliant!

Each time that I clicked in the, "Time-Line Index" nothing happened is this currently in development?

I personally think you need to add an expanding menu to the pages. I admit that due to your topic and the vast quantity of information that you provide based not only on topic to year to month that menuing will be challenging but I believe there must be an easier way to navigate.

Best of luck!

Please review my site -
Remember When, Productions

Why thank-you! Can I return the compliment? The opening
page on your site is also an essay in simplicity and
I'm well impressed with the rotating menu!

This is strange, as I imagine that you test out your
home page with JavaScript turned on... This button is
just another Javascript, I can't think why it didn't
work.

In the absence of the [Time-Line Index] button not
working there is a Navigation Bar at the bottom of
every page. The problem with having an expanding menu
is that with so many pages the download overhead would
be prohibitive. In a perverse way, I'm counting on you
getting lost, as it were. The history of the ship is
quite fascinating, and from the feedback I'm getting,
modern day cruising doesn't hold a candle to the way
it was done in those days...

Peter thank you so much for the compliments.

I went back to your site and tied the time-line index again and lo and behold, everything worked wonderfully! I'm not sure what was wrong it must have just been a glitch in my system.
