Requesting Review
« on: April 11, 2006, 02:29:51 PM »
Hi Everyone

Introducing yet another “Desktop Wallpapers” site based on 4Images.
I have installed quite a few Mods present here. I haven’t made so many changes with the default layout. But still it’s working for me.
I don’t know much about html & php so basically what ever I have done is based on hit & try.
So it’s a small effort of mine in world of WWW  :D

Here is the URL (Just a month old)
BestofWallpapers.Com

Using this forum I will like to thank everyone how helped me. Especially
IcEcReaM , Maxpaul ,  Mawenzi ,  TheOracle
How can I forget V@no, who helped me more than anyone. Thanks V@no, I wouldn't be able to do this without U.

I m finally getting the sense that I am almost done with my site. (Until I get next semester break)
So I will like to hear what you think about my site.

Your comments & suggestions are more than welcome.  :)

I really like it.

BUT
  • The logo should not bouce all the time (and make it clickable)
  • The menu is not something I like that much (would be nicer if it was part of the design instead of floating around)
  • Wallpapers should be bigger then 1024X768. Not many are using that resolution anymore (min. 1200x...)
All in all I'll give it 7 out of 10 stars :)

Thanks for the comments. 

1) My knowledge of flash is just nil. The logo was made by one of my friend and I don’t have a better option for it right now. But I will try to follow your point.
2) I don’t actually need that menu. I am going to remove it soon. The default menu is enough for me (I think so).
3)  Surely this is my plane as well. But till now I can’t find how to provide more than 1 download link to users for the same image.

I mean how I can provide different resolution images (I will go for at least 3 if possible)
I have few ideas and I will try to do it in my next vacations :)

Thinks V@no

I have tried it once before but it didn’t work for me. So I leave that for later times. ( I am not having that much time right now due to studies.)

I am currently using this mod Alternate directory for download files  so I need to combine them.
I am just waiting for some time to do a lot of changes.  :D

Thanks for pointing it out.

All New BestofWallpapers.Com

Hi guys

I was working on the site for the past one & half moth. Finally, today I have updated my whole layout of the site. Please have a look and let me if you see any improvements.

I am using Maxpaul's template set Next generation template "Wallpaper" with some modifications.

While this might not be the most intuitive or attractive design at first glance, as compared to all other wallpaper websites. This time I decided not to go with a flash logo. Along with layout & design improvements, I have also added few new features for the members. So you have to register to see them in action 

Here is the link
BestofWallpapers.Com

Any thoughts, criticisms, reviews of this website will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I am getting trouble with the number of queries settings from my server.  :cry:
My gallery is executing 50,000 queries per hour even being a normal site. (Without that much users)
I am envisaging the issue here, if you could help me solving this issue. Please have a look in the thread
