What happened to the EFC website? It doesn't work anymore

Velociraptor82 · 24-10-2008, 10:59 AM

Yeah I knoticed that a few weeks back. I think the new one is currently under development

Fast Eddie · 25-10-2008, 08:29 AM

Fella's, This might give you the info you're looking for http://www.fordforums.com.au/archive....php/f-77.html

Apologies in advance if it doesn't link. Let me know if it doesn't.

RJO89 · 26-10-2008, 12:27 PM

Hey Eddie the link just comes up with the archive from the focus thread.. Was it supposed to be a specific link?

Fast Eddie · 27-10-2008, 01:38 PM

No Regan it's not specific just a historical archive I guess with some interesting threads. I don't know what your looking for specifically but the EFC to my best knowledge is history. BTW I was looking through the 2008 S.F.S. Thread and noticed you'd called by the Club Display for a short time, did we meet up???

Nah we didn't mate. Everyone seemed well and truly busy and I didn't wanna interrupt anyone

:
Going next year for sure though, to enter as well, so I'll get to meet up with everyone there. I take it you're gonna be coming to '09?

Seems indeed that the site has gone kaputski.

Since it left my hosting I was then out of control of it, but its still registered and the domain isnt available either.

So im sure something could be arranged if someone wants to take it over again, other then that, looks like its gone the way of the dodo.

xurbanx · 27-10-2008, 09:50 PM

I wouldn't mind taking over it. It'll be a nice challenge since I haven't touched web design in 5 years! =D

chinw3e · 28-10-2008, 06:24 PM

go helder go!! i just find it annoying that i have a sticker on the back of my car and when people try to access it, they don't get anywhere. lol

xurbanx · 28-10-2008, 06:55 PM

Do we still have the old files? Or are they kaput as well? Also does anyone have the EFC logo as a digital file?

RJO89 · 28-10-2008, 07:06 PM

yeah I've got the logo. I'll upload it in a sec

RJO89 · 28-10-2008, 07:07 PM

xurbanx · 28-10-2008, 08:24 PM

Thanks RJ089, do we also have that logo with the European flag/stars? Might be a bit off there. I'll start working on it tonight, pretty much can work on it at work since I'll be in front of the computer all day. (Call centre ftl).

RJO89 · 28-10-2008, 11:31 PM

Nah haven't got that logo. I'm sure it'll be around somewhere though. So it sounds like you'll be using your work time for something useful

: lol

Velociraptor82 · 29-10-2008, 10:17 AM

Hey xurbanx i'm more than happy to help you out if you need it. In fact i might be able to make up the logo you're looking for.

xurbanx · 29-10-2008, 10:34 AM

That'd be swell man! I just realized the magnitude of making it :p

Velociraptor82 · 29-10-2008, 10:59 AM

What are you planning for the site? ie: different sections and stuff?

Fast Eddie · 29-10-2008, 02:28 PM

Well I'm the custodian of the Eurofordclub Banner a.t.m. This is a photo from the Sthn.N.S.W.A.F.D. that Melbzetec and myself attended a while ago. Hope this helps.

Velociraptor82 · 29-10-2008, 02:50 PM

Eddie that image would work really well as it can be flattened with a reduced colour range and then cropped. Do you have the same image in High res??

xurbanx · 30-10-2008, 02:59 PM

I'm going for a minimalistic look, simple, quick to load, no fuss website.

Mainly because I don't know how to use Flash :p

RJO89 · 30-10-2008, 05:46 PM

Sounds good. Any idea on the ETA?

Fast Eddie · 30-10-2008, 05:59 PM

Afraid not but if you could p.m. me your e-mail address I could send the photo to you if that would help.

Neither do I but i highly recommend drawing a layout in photoshop first and then dividing the image up into its tables and such, then assembling it all in html. Then use asp or php to load all the data for the website... that will keep it looking good as well keeping the size small.... flash is only good if you want to animate it all (which in most cases i think is overkill anyway). If my memory serves me (i prefer to use fireworks rather than photoshop), photoshop has an export feature that should be able to choose the best pic format as well as reduce the colour range to only the colour required for each pic.... this in turn will reduce the image sizes massively without loosing the quality.

I think my site including all the images and databases is only about 25Mb.

Urgh. I used to know how to do all that stuff. Then I got into the habit of letting other people do it

Velociraptor82 · 01-11-2008, 02:33 PM

best i could do with what i had

Fast Eddie · 03-11-2008, 01:14 PM

So was that okay, Simon?

Velociraptor82 · 04-11-2008, 05:15 PM

Thanks for the photos Eddie

Scratch that prev image.... I've got some better images to work with now and I should have the logo (transparent gif) ready next weekend. Unfortuanlly I have ran out of thime this long weekend. Too many friends trying to catch up with me.

xurbanx · 09-11-2008, 01:12 AM

I've seem to hit a brickwall. I've forgotten most of what I've learnt and can't seem to get the darn table up!

If anyone can help me out, I'll pm you the code.

MISTA FIESTA · 09-11-2008, 07:37 AM

Hey Helder,

I am more than happy to help you out where need be. Just pm me code

Velociraptor82 · 12-11-2008, 06:32 PM

If you guys are still struggling, please send me some of the code too. My dreamweaver is down at the moment but I can still work with notepad.
