"Grafmix agrees: Meant to be 'tough'"

Right, I read this thread badly; we all knew it meant to be "tough" and not "though", so apologies for the blatant silliness

With all due respect - if you want something specific ask for something specific. If you want a thread that wont die ask whoever you pray to. I hope that doesn't sound mean, but it is the way life goes IMHO.

I mentioned this once during the DaWei affair, but perhaps we could have a more rational discussion about it now.

On a site like yours, you would reduce the amount of markup sent out if you used cleaner code, and additionally all layout information could be cached in a CSS file. This would save a lot of bandwidth, and thus money. The outlay would be a pretty modest one-off payment to someone to tidy up your code, and you could cut a large amount from your HTML bandwidth costs.

In with the bundle, you could make the site accessible with a few quick alterations. You'd increase the number of devices the site could be viewed on and you'd avoid potential legal problems, which large sites with bad code are increasingly likely to have. (If a screenreader can't handle it well, things like the disability discrimination act in the UK could come into play.)

In my opinion, XHTML makes perfect business sense, more for your network than anywhere. You being the owner of a web development forum, I think your claim that XHTML code somehow loses you money is a rather odd one to be making. For large pages, it will invariably reduce bandwidth and increase accessibility.

I'm by no means the only person who can do this, but if you're interested, I'd be happy to tidy up Devshed for little or no money. If you'd like to discuss this, please let me know.

ChiefWigs1982 agrees: But the problem is Jelsoft. DS uses a heavily modified version of their software, and such massive
changes would not be easily updatable when new releases arrive...

Well XHTML and so on would be nice, but I don't really give much about it unless it messes up with my browser.
I would rather see something like "on line chat" in the lounge (maybe a web interface to an XMPP (Jabber) server) or some Skype-like voip chat thing.
