Right here.

Ok, DON'T try to join now, this is a demo, and the reason I put it up is that I'd like to get some feedback.
Does the site design look good? Too blank?
Is something crucial missing?
How could it be improved?
You just hate fanlistings in general?

Thanks. I'd appreciate some word.

Looks good, even though I had never heard of a Fanlisting before the previous thread mentioned them

Post a message when its ready for production; I'll add a button thing under 'Partners'.

I'm not to bad at web graphics . I will come up with some Dink related animations for you (after I finish the three graphics packs that I am working on now) .

Another cool feature for the members section would be favorite d-mod.

Why would we want anybody else learning about dink? Dink is only for the 1337!

Neat, but why is it stuck in an itty bitty box?

Looks good

Uhm... about that 'code'... why not re-use the avatars we have on the DN?

Web graphics offer:
Sounds like fun. Maybe you could do some animated codes? Those are "popular" in the world where ppl have heard of fanlistings

Box-why?:
For some reason fanlistings are presented in a box. I didn't even think it could be something not-a-box. Box or not, what do you think?

Favorite d-mod -idea:
Yeah!! Though then I'd have to increase the width of box-thingy so that any D-mod name would fit there, which might be interesting since I think there are d-mods with LONG names. How'd you like this done? Maybe I could replace "favorite character" with this, it'd make more sense after all.

Scroller-error:
Fixed, and new version should possess a (visible) scrollbar..

The Codes:
I don't think it's possible to use the DN avatars, since they're made of two pictures and whatnot.. or is it? I ought to implement other size codes than 50x50 though (100x35 for starters) when I bother.

Suggestion:

I hate how you have to send people email to sign up. Want me to write a PHP form to do it automatically? It looks better.

(And that box is SO dang SMALL!)

OK, I updated the site and made the box larger, if nothing else.

Check to see it now : right here still.

Oh, and about the PHP form, I think my (current) host doesn't support php.... I need to find another place to stick this to, though.

Why not keep the box? You could keep things in it, like small hearts, chicken legs and other such things.
Alternatively, the Duck from Friends could hide in it.

Doubt it; the box doesn't have a depth parameter.

keep it real 
a box is fine, just make sure the links dont open inside the box! so do target="new" after the "http://whatever" inside the <a href> tag, i would post it, but that would just make a link...

THanks Joshriot, VERY GOOD point... The links that are up at the moment are done correct but I updated a bit this morning and forgot, fixed now

I think the box will stay. Please pretty please?

I got email from thefanlistings.org yesterday, telling me to put up a join form instead of e-mail signup...
EDIT: So I did that and now it's up, you can see it (but please don't send the form yet )

Anybody come up with a free, ad-free space for the fanlisting? I'd rather not have it stay at my site 'til eternity...

EDIT 2: the version has been updated again, HOWEVER it seems like the form is not working, as I don't get the e-mail. This sucks.

Is there any of you who think could know what's wrong with it? As in this site's codes..: (http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/arjala/dink%20fanlist%202/join.html)

Appreciated.. thanks.
