It does load very slowly the first time...after that your PC already has the image downloaded and is much faster.

which is a good point. we need it to load very fast for first time visiters.
Its really not that bad...it only took me about 20 seconds to load.
Major
twenty it should take three!

a homepage should be loaded within 2 to REAL max 5 seconds..
if it takes longer, visitors go away!
(accidental visitors)
ALSO, keep in mind IE, does not like .png file, It might not load them, or generate high CPU loads, all kind of bugs/problems occur, which you just don't want!!
total page size, of the homepage should not exceed 200 kbyte (which is already quite big!)
just like maggio said, play around a bit with the converter options, you really don't have to loose a lot quility when converting..
I must say however the pics are realy nice, but work on the size of them!

yah the buttons and banner are really really cool the best ive seen for this game type.

People i'm not interested in the load times right now.I want to know if people like the images, like the design, like the way the whole thing looks.
The images will be changed to jpg soon. I just made it and working with png is a lot easier when first making and saving images.
I was going to change the last page to jpg, but i knew in a week i would have this page all set and ready.. So i didn't bother.
But now that it's the way i want it, they will be changed over soon..

You gotta good point there dont you.
Honestly, ive logged in a few times today, and i can tell you that Im not too fond of scrolling down to log in. It was so cool the other way, but what are you gonna do when you ahve two plus servers tochoose from, so ill get over it.
President
yea i didn't like scrolling down to log in at first either.. the log in sections were originally lower and i raised them up so you could at least see some of them when you first logged on..
only other way to do it would be line them width wise and stack them.. which i don't think would look very good..
