News:

HLP Donations Page has been reworked for supporting the site.
Please note that the previous "Tiers" are currently not operational (but will be worked on).
You can still cancel any previous re-occurring donations to make new ones which will go to the new Treasurer Admin (Zacam).

In the title bar of HLP it says HTML edition. Is there a flash edition somewhere?

I think there is one. Setekh was working on it.

That song is so obviously a rip-off of that Dido song...


Dido - Here with me


but it's looped pretty good i guess :)

i think a Flash version of HLP would be nice :)

But not going to happen - it's a pointless waste of resources :)

It was indeed an old thing someone (I forget who) was fiddling around with... but as I said above it's simply not worth the effort. HTML works.

The style of the site doesn't fit into Flash either - it's not good when you have truckloads of news and content, it just gets annoying. :)
Probably away. Contact through email.

Maybe I'm being clueless (as usual), but what benefit, if any, would a flash version provide (other than extra bandwidth consumption)?  Do we need bouncing avatars or something? :confused::confused:

That'd be a flash version of the forums, which no provider currently offers, to my knowledge.

flash is mainly if you want to provide a more visual and interactive experiance for a visitor. Many things can be done with action script which can't be done with javascript. You can make some really neat web sites.

I also agree tho that this does not suit HLP because it is an informative site. Most sites using flash are to sell something or are to present a business in a very dynamic cutting edge way.

I was just curious as to what the flash version of HLP looked like:)

The current HTML version is just fine. Flash would make it worse.

:no:

Forums have to be fast and functional, not some flash thing.

It's not up for debate - we aren't going to use flash.
