Hey, I noticed that your main site (http://royals.ms/?page=index) really needs a small edit. I notice theres a couple of glitches here and there and it certainly comes off as unprofessional. I'm coming from a background of Computer Science and has gone through works which involve heavy HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, PHP, MySQL, and accessing JSON files using AJAX. Now, viewing your page telling you that, you should know that I am criticizing your site and will offer my attention and assistance as seem fit. What I plan on doing will involve myself editing your site to have proper format. By now you wonder what could possibly be wrong with your site... Well here's a brief list of things that need attention... (Image screenshots are taken with Gyazo) When window size is smaller, main div pops out of the body. (Image) Looking at the same image as before, the links in the link div are falling out of it. The method of spawning snowflakes is ingenious because of it's makeshift effort, but very unefficient. CSS is found inline which is very dangerous when it comes to editing it. (Image) General organization of code is ... quite messy. The debugger claims there are warnings and an error. (Image) I can definately tell you use some sort program that writes your code for you or something, but handwritten is always the most reliable. Sure at the site needs to get updated right? Well don't worry about that, having dedicated Web Developers can make sure the first impression everyone gets of MapleRoyals will always be a positive one. If, for what ever reason you wish to decline my offer to provide an upgraded site, so be it, but I will give it my very best effort to help you guys out. Expect future applications from me as a programmer (Developer), or a web developer.
@John Thanks, I hope I can speak with him. I absolutely have no idea who is apart of the team behind MR. I haven't done any research just yet.
We have just been using an edited version of a free MapleStory CMS from ragezone. We will need to remake the website when the new source comes anyway, so we will probably be waiting until then before we do much to it. But maybe Chok can sort out some of the minor issues that you brought up.
@Matt Right, that's understandable. But currently, these little bugs are pretty unforgivable. What do you suppose is this "new source" you speak of anyways? I know this is probably "bad" to do... But I already have my own copy of the site (Just the index.html and it's components). What I'll do is post my solution for each error I can fix shortly. Hang in there.
Main problem fixed (wrapper leaking from body): Moving to the CSS file (xmas.css) We have the div "wrapper"; simply under Code: width: 80%; Just include this; Code: width: 80%; min-width: 960px; 50% of the sites issues are solved.
The least you could do is read up on what's been going on around here for the last few months including what the new source is before getting nit picky about front page bugs. This is the first update on "New Source" http://royals.ms/forum/threads/new-source-status-update.24676/ Theres 2 other additional New Source update threads up, and multiple more New source related threads strewed acrossed the Beta forums on whats going to be in and not in the new source.
@Enticing I barely stepped foot in this "MapleRoyals". The door/enterance to it just so happened to need a little tweaking for I had easily spotted fault.
I am well aware of all of these issues and many, many, many more (feel free to play what's-wrong-with-the-site bingo; it makes for a depressing afternoon), and that's rather the point; there are so many things fundamentally broken with the website that it isn't worth anyone's time fixing it; it needs to be redone. From scratch. There's practically nothing worth salvaging.
Fair enough. Would you like my assistance? I'd be more than happy being the little elf in your scheme.
Okie dokes. Just know I'm always up for grabs. I find a lot of pleasure when producing CSS. It's almost like my passion, even though I'm strongest at game developing languages.
Makes plenty of sense and I know precicely what you mean. I probably would've done that but I'd rather have adressed the issue right away (cause it was bothering me). I'm not all that ready to jump the MapleRoyals gun, I've had things to do left and right and it's uncertain wether I'm staying or not. And before you say "Well if you plan on leaving why would you offer help, why would you suggest applying", I aspire to provide my work twice as much as fitting in and/or playing the server (Though that does sound pretty weird).
