So you're saying you don't care about people with disabilities and they deserve a lower/limited style of living than yourself? I think you'll find in Belgium there are laws regarding accessibility too.quote:

Right, then you embed those components as Flash files - not the whole site. Why does the menu and text on the page have to be Flash? Surely you're not going to animate the text.
I can't even select and copy the text on the page if I wanted to. I can't tab to your input fields for the shoutbox. These are things which are even easy to implement in Flash.quote:

My personal opinion is that you could use some education in designing too, your MyBB logo for example or the colorpicking on your blog I would rather describe as 'not looking professional'. In coding you might be good (and you don't mind to mention that, as others here) but thats not all you know.
I think you fail to understand my point - so instead you go and bash the MyBB logo - which is designed that way for a particular reason - people don't leave it on there forums.
As for the colours on my personal site - wow, you've stooped to another level here. Of course, could it be that you just don't know too much. Has your web designer ever heard of contrast?
So you're saying blue and orange are unprofessional colours? I'll be sure to mention that to the multitude of sites who employ those colours - just so they know they're unprofessional.quote:

It's the same everywhere. You only need to pass to graduate.quote:

Where do you think the projects on the portfolio come from???
They all look like DJ sites to me - so I'd say they're your friends. Of course, If I were looking for someone to design a site for me and saw your portfolio, "the inspiration I got from my girlfriend" and the "Girlfriend policy" then I'd turn my head and look elsewhere.quote:

I did not mean to sound rude towards your work in any way, but want you to realise that there are other factors that you need to take into consideration when designing and coding webpages.
Bingo - and not just shut down the comments & criticisms made.

Sorry but than I do not understand why your sig should be less disabled-friendly because I don't know any screen-readers that can read text out of images. After all they did not choose to be disabled did they? Then again why do we use emoticons? Blind people can't see any emoticons can they? But still we use them!
That is why in HTML we have the alt tag for images to provide alternate text for screen readers. In the case of emoticons in Messenger - you'll notice it has the "disable emoticons".quote:

It is fine for content like that to be Flash/etc
Oh, sorry but this is getting ridiculous, you just wrongly understand me on purpose.
I never said someone deserves a lower/limited lifestyle than myself. I think you just don't want to understand what I'm trying to explain... Off-course there are laws regarding accessibility in belgium too, but they don't obligate a DJ squad to make sure their website can be perfectly viewed by people with disabilities.
By the way... how shoud someone who's blind pass this required field to register on your forum?

Isn't this an accessibility problem?
Why does the menu and text on the page have to be Flash?
Because I want them to be, fair enough?
Why should you be able to copy the text? I could sue you for that! There's a clear '
2007 AmbiSquad All rights reserved' text.
You know what? Let's al sue each other!
Oh, so you design a unprofessional looking logo to make sure users would replace it with their own logo? Yeah right!
Maybe I expressed myself wrong about the colors of your blog, I meant those colors aren't really attractive looking...
And yes, off-cource I heard of contrast! You took a look at my creations so you should know that!
I don't think you graduated in Belgium so your really shouldn't talk about things you don't know anything of.
I didn't knew any of them before they asked me to create them a website. I didn't even said anything of making websites for people, they just came to me an asked me to create them a website. Aside those creations you see in my portfolio I have 6 other requests for the same type of websites too (all people who I've never met before) so they must really like the creations don't you think?
Or maybe you just don't have a girlfriend that inspiring as mine.
I don't shut down comments, I accept them except for the one's I don't agree with.
All the reasons you gave me can easily be unified as one reason not to use flash. 'Usability/Accessibility'.
So actually you gave me 1 reason, what about the 9,999 others?
So that's why all the smileys in MyBB have the same ALT tag content '(Smilie)'. Wow, now someone who's blind can hear when a emoticon had been used! Fantastic! But... hey, wait a minute, shouldn't he know which one was used?
You see, your commenting on other developers work but your work isn't 100% accessible too!
