Holiday Banner

Regular Visitor OS : Windows Vista Home Premium

First, I really like the new holiday banner. Ummm... When I click the banner, it opens up a new tab and then loads the GGUI homepage. I know it should go the homepage but not in another tab. Just wanted to let you know. wink

For me it opens in a new window. Maybe you need to verify the preferences of your browser ?

I'll try to see if it can be worked out later today

Quote :: Being honest, a flash banner like above, ie. Moving content. Is too distracting from the website.

A banner is an important feature, and should catch attention from users, but it shouldn't grab there attention when they're attemping to view the site's content.

(may I have the PSD from the actual banner, to design a holiday one.)

It true that it distracting from the main site, I passed an hour looking at that banner and being amaze of it moving lol.

I didn't save the fla. so i have to redo it ,but i'm going to see if it will let me redirect instead of using the geturl function. It should be fixed later today when I get off work.

hmm its weird. This is the action script involved in linking with flash:

this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("https://galaxygui.forumotion.com");
}

By default flash should navigate to the link in the same window. To open in a new window you would have to add ,"_blank" after the url. So honestly I don't know whats causing it to open a new tab. I'll see if I can figure it out just give me till the end of the day.

It does open it in a new window/tab for me, I'm not sure what is up with that. For now, if it is really that much of a problem for you, can't you just click to home icon for now please if you wish to return home?

Perhaps it was just loading?

it's less than 90 kb, even on a slow computer it should load instantly. Try clearing your browser's cache.

I use NoScript for Firefox, so by default I had to enable the flash, maybe its same same foe you PJDark?
