For some reason, certain extensions/plugins are causing my #userinfo div to jump out of place. I can't figure out why.

See: [url]http://i.imgur.com/yMMu4qZ.png[/url] & [url]http://i.imgur.com/dFvrzpP.jpg[/url]

Anyone has any idea?

That's possible too[/QUOTE]

Yeah I know, that's why I said it.

Have to work on this "responsive design" everyone's talking about next. Are there any good resources on making your website responsive?

A bit off-topic but are you doing this for private reasons or just getting paid for something?

Basically, reduce your browsers horizontal resolution until the page starts to look like crap/breaks, note the resolution it started to break at and use a media query to fix the page stylesheet at that point.

Its fairly simple, a common mistake is putting the site into a responsive layout at the resolution of a mobile device or below 1024x768.

[editline]13th May 2013[/editline]

@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {
    body {
        width:inherit;
        other:fixes;
    }
}

for example...
I'm only using 1024px as my site isn't fixed width, its a fluid layout and it gets really cramped below that resolution.

Finally starting on making a design I actually like for my portfolio

Ah, so I'm not the only one that finds it really hard to make a design for yourself?
I keep trashing every attempt at a portfolio I make because I start to hate it half way though writing it.

Yeah it's a little upsetting because I've put together at least 6 concepts but have ended up trashing them. This one I actually like though, just have to figure out how I'll be putting it together!

[editline]13th May 2013[/editline]

A few of the concepts that didn't make the cut:

And those are just some of the ones that are actually not embarrassingly bad. I'm so bad at making things for myself

[QUOTE=douche beat;40588693]This is interesting, but you really need to redesign it. I don't think I'd want to use something if it looked like that[/QUOTE]

What can I do to improve the design?

I've never been very good with photoshop and the like, any advice would be useful at this point.

Why not hire a designer? If it's a serious project it might make sense.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;40627873]Why not hire a designer? If it's a serious project it might make sense.[/QUOTE]

Well it's just a bit of a hobby project that I was planning to release when it was done. I can't really offer to pay anyone as I don't see it creating much of a return.

If somebody was willing to provide a design for free I would happily build the html and and integrate it into the product.

I don't like the lacking transition between those pictures.

So, I'm starting my own web design company. I've started designing it and I need some feedback.

[t]http://nehkz.me/img/i/bd50231c8bba3caed5c681d9c5dcbaf1.png[/t]

Anything I should add or take away? I mean, obviously, there will be a lot more on the page. This is really just a mockup.

ehh, I don't really like the stuff under cyni.co and it's way too bare to judge

You're right, after second glance it does look disgusting. I'll remove that. Anything else?

[KmartSqrl]

There's not really enough to give feedback on yet. If you are designing before you figure out your content you're doing it wrong.

For some reason sublime text suddenly won't use the font I like unless I set the font size to anything other than the size I usually use it at. I can set it to 12.01 instead of 12 and it shows up fine, but as soon as I set it to 12.0 it changes to the default font... wut?

Sublime Text 3 still can't hide the menu bar on Linux :(
Its messing with my whole Zen thing...

Did you write to them?

[SGI Onyx]

[QUOTE=Killervalon;40662971]Did you write to them?[/QUOTE]

Plenty of other people have, plenty of other people have also shown the dev code from other open source programs that can toggle the GTK menu bar, its been years and he hasn't even touched the issue.

[editline]16th May 2013[/editline]

He obviously designed the program for Ubloatu Unity's persistent OS10 like menu bar.

Been working on this simple website that presents the results of the recent Venezuelan elections, allowing to filter results by area (designed by another facepuncher, who's from Venezuela).

What do you guys think? Any idea why the chart randomly disappears, sometimes?

[KmartSqrl]

[url=https://github.com/ddollar/foreman]Foreman[/url] is awesome. I have a Procfile set up to launch zeus, guard, zeus s (rails server), and zeus rake jobs:work, so I can launch all the stuff I need for dev on this project with one command.

[editline]16th May 2013[/editline]

It's also what heroku uses, so I stuck my Procfile stuff in Procfile.dev instead of the regular Procfile and made a rake task to launch foreman with that to avoid potential conflicts.

First post here (I think?). Working on an anonymous grieving and confessing site. Would love some C&C on the design.

an effect like the old train station ticker boards for each nav element would look pretty neat

You should make the home button reach higher, so it always looks like it's connected to the top part.
