Site Check Pwease

Hey,

If anyone out there has some free time would you mind perusing the following site which I have just finished first phase development on:

www.phpscriptsearch.com

Any probs with it, let me know, specifically in the grammar / spelling and cross browser compatibility.

Feel free to sign up, but use a valid e-mail as the accounts require authentication. Don't worry you wont get added to any spam lists and the database will be completely wiped by the end of the day.

Cheers

Looks good!

I did find this in your privacy policy - Raison Detre - It seemed that everything else was in English, but I didn't recognize these.

That was the only spelling/language error I spotted. And I didn't spot any script errors

Hey - nice Silky - is that a project for you? or for a client?

The only problem in the navigation was in the script display. When you go to the category to see the listings of the scripts in that category, if you click on a script, on the script page there is no link to go back to that category.

Maybe put a link up top near the visit homepage, like so ->



Or ->



Without the link there you either have to use the drop down menu or go back to homepage and then back to the category.

Hi Silky,
You said you were looking for typos / grammar too:

In your search page you quote:
.

Should be comma .

Looks good though

Hey Silky,

I am using Mozilla 1.2.1 and the text "1 PHP Scripts Listed In 74 Categories" is nearly unreadable. The table cell cuts it off just under the line in the middle of the of the H. It seems the layer is in the wrong place on Netscape browsers

Nice looking site

Things I would improve, its not xHTML compliant.. Dunno if you care, but its not lol

mailto: hmm you will get spam coming in on this address, consider using a non spiderable mailto link like this one

Thanks for the comments; everyone in order:

thedude - I ain't got a clue what it means, it sounds French though, I didnt bother with the Privacy Policy / Terms Of Use to much because I had them written by a pro writer from the states because I can't write, I'm a programmer but you have me curious now so I will look it up.

jpenn - Good point, thanks I will add the cat link in there next to the homepage link. This one is a project for me.

jabba_29 - Cheers, I have corrected the spelling mistake.

a.koepke - Yes a few people reported this problem, I downloaded Mozilla and ran some tests and have now fixed the display error in the CSS. Thanks.

rendy - Thanks for the points, to be honest though I have never bothered with compliance to W3C standards because in my opinion it's impossible to be compliant and accesible. I prefer the later. With regards to the spam, again not a concern but thanks for taking a look and making the suggestions. I appreciate it.

Thanks again all, I will get back to work on the minor probs and get the site launched

Silk - let me know when you launch it and I will carry a link in my sig here for you for a while.....

Hmmm... have you tried registering a new account under Mozilla. For some reason when i click the register button it goes to the search page.

Raison Detre (should be Raison D'etre if it matters -- I saw your response) is French for "reason to be" if I remember right. Also loosely translated as "cause/purpose of existence".It should also be separated

Two errors:

One in your privacy policy and one in your about us page...

You use `(the key next to the digit 1) as an apostrophe in "protecting users` privacy" and "revamp the Internet`s idea", respectively. The key you used isn't the apostrophe, it is an accent symbol, the correct key would be the one to the left of the enter key.

Another error:

"All Members agree to use our services at their own risk." You use "Members" and "members" throughout. Members is not a proper noun and under normal circumstances shouldn't be capitalized. You can, however, state something like:

...registered users, herein known as "Members,"...

Thus, in essence, changing the word members to a proper noun, then I urge you to change all instances of members to Members. Otherwise, keep them all lowercase.

Also:

In the last line: "you are agreeing to these Terms & Conditions " should be "you are agreeing to this User Agreement" because in the first line, you stated that from that point on, it would be referred to as "User Agreement".

I know what has happened here. The document has been copied from Microsoft Word, when you type the ' character into Word it changes it into that character. Word uses this as its proper apostrophe to differentiate between it and a single quote, which is actually what is next to the enter key.

A few more things I noticed:

In your privacy policy: "Any Personal or Financial information collected..." should read "Any personal or financial information collected..."

On the signup form: "To Register for a PHP Script Search Account please fill out the form below and click to Register." Both instances of "Register" and "Account" should be lowercase, and I would put a comma after account and change the ending to "click the button to complete the registration process."

Login screen: "To Login to your account please..." should be "To login to your account..." Some grammar nuts may even tell you that "login" should be "log in" even though "login" is becoming an acceptable verb in the computer science profession. That's really up to you.

If I come across any more, I will post them.
