Visit Sizzle's Era Site

After a year and a half I decided to re-update some things. Nothing major, just to get it out of the slump it was in.

If anyone want's to help I'll let you, but seeing as this isn't a .com website with the ability to restrict FTP permissions I won't be giving anyone the password.
Just make comments and corrections the best you can. All help is very much appreciated.

Few Updates:
-Prices
-Locations
-Upload Information
-Gangs
-Owners and Leaders
-Poll
-Forum Link now directs here to Era Forums

Thanks everyone.

Indeed, FAQ Admin please. The PRs do a terrible job at FAQ.

I pointed this out to them when it was removed, and even sent in tickets saying how to do it better, they said they would do it and guess WHAT!! nothings been done. But Gabriel was the one who said he would do the things

Gabriel doesn't know how to tie his shoe. I always wondered why he had FAQ Admin.

Most people wear two shoes.

The site has a lot of good content but is lacking in website design principals. For example, pages like the sewer quest should only show one screenshot (step) at a time.

You might want to eventually see about working with Nataxo's Era Wiki, or the official Era site (which currently has nothing on it).

I updated the guides now, hope they're a little better now. Check em out.

Any other suggestions you could offer would be great.

I'd personally suggest for like the sewer guide, creating a map of the sewers and using that instead to guide the way. A map, with some talking through and occasional screenshots(jpeg serves much better for large screenshots like that, as their filesize are way smaller than PNG, thus load faster) would probably make it a much more streamlined and useful tutorial.

Also, the one page per screenshot thing isn't really all that true. Especially if you use jpeg instead, you could probably have 5 per page, even 10.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of a Lightbox-type slideshow (Flash is very bulky). My main concern wasn't so much file size since that's mostly irrelevant on the internet, but instead about layout. By placing one step per "page" you can isolate each step better.
