now alot of websites are makin it so u view them in a pop up window i was just wondering what people think about these. personally they annoy me cos i don't reall y have a great computer n it just slows it all down some more n is more hastle no disrespect on those using them on my site its just my feedback i like what lil j has done 4 westcoast2k with giving u the option to stay in the normal non pop up window
-
;D
-
i hate them too.
i also hate sites squished into the corner of the page.
i run @ 1280x1024 .. so sites squished for 640x480 look wack
-
I hate them with a passion
-
I' ve expressed my thoughts on these before... and will say again, i dont like them... pop ups in general annoy me......

All pop up. I think it's tight...gives ya room, LoL.
-
I'm gonna find out who invented those pop up windows, get a huge buck knife, and stab that motherfucker in the neck......but seriously, I don't like them.

I Think It Gives You Design Flexibility Not Possible Within The Stiff Regular Browser. That's Why I Like Them. The Texture Mapping Pop Ups Are A Trip. For Instance, I Could Never Make This Page Look EXACTLY How I Want It, But If I Use This As An Enter Page, With A Popup, I Can Make The Popup Look EXACTLY How I Want, With Minimal Restrictions. It's A Webdesigner's Wet Dream. BTW, The Argument That Your Technology Isn't Advanced Enough To See it (Your Computer's Old, Etc.) I Don't Hold Valid Because B-pLeAsE Designed Our Entire Site On A 486. Ain't None Of Yall Running Less Than That.
-
Yes with a pop up you can fill the whole page... however I just dont like them... its the " pop up " feel, not the design, yall got tight designs, but its the " pop up" feel... i hate pop ups and as web desingers, they should see how people feel about them.... but you cant please everyone, but most people hate pop ups all together
-
also the annoying thing is u take away the options like back/forward n typing in a new address etc.
-
the things most people are using popups for can be achieved in a fixed width table with a little more work.
check out www.tharow.com they still have the old feel, within a "proper" window.

yeh thats right, it gives u the option to do things you cant do with the regular window and you can resize it and make it look different and stuff. but hey you realy cant compare this website windows to those vote and porn pop ups on those mp3 sites, that is annoying. >:(
-
Well I don't know if a resized window (always smaller) and a cool looking window is the reason why people go to ur sites, its the content, but hey whatever floats ur boat, im just stating my views ....
-
LOL I Feel Tension.
Personally, I Do'nt Think Tharow.com Looks Right, And I Don't Like The Design Of Most Regular Browser Webpages Online, Because The Design Scrolls. Maybe If People Uses More Frames It Would Look Better, But I Don't Like The Design Being Broken By The Size of The Browser Window. If You Do A Popup, I'ts All Like A Single Module, Looks Much Cleaner.
But Hey, That's Just My Opinion.
-
hmm has this topic changed http://www.gfunk.de site?i started it yesturday n yesturday the webmaster changed it back to the normal window 4 me its a bit of a result cos now i'll probably visit more like i used to before it was a pop up, it might be a coinsidence n the guy had other ppl saying they prefer the normal window. but hey just thaught i'd let u know
-
I use a poppup window for my realbrothas.cjb.net site now
coz before that my site loaded really slow & now its goes much faster (this dont count for most sites). & with a poppup you can chance the layout easyer. Like wildnthawest site... if they would take a normal site then it would not be so dope coz they started with a poppups screen & everyone knew the site because of that & thats the way it had some dope style... toogangsta.net use to work with poppups screens to but it didnt fit with there image so I think they did a good job with that normal layout... & I think if you want a poppup screen then make sure it loads verry fast... ;)

The Real Brothers Design Looks Very Similar To The One At Tha Row.
-
And The One At The G Funk Era Reminds Me Off The Too Gangsta Design. There Both Dope Sites.
-
Gfunk.de just changed back to they regular window. They did it since so many people aren't feelin pop-up windows...LoL.
-
i´ve changed the layout to a full screen one cause i noticed that my statistics went back to a lower level since i used the pop/chromless windows...also some ppl mentioned that they got probs with these chromless window. i´m not out to win a graphical layout award so i´ve decided to up this new one that all the ppl can view the site with all browsers without any probs...plus i think it loads a bit faster now.
-
Hey GFUNKA, is your name Stefan?
-
yep

Honestly, I dont know javascripts well, so i dont know the code to do a pop up, but I want people from anywhere to be able to view my site... of course most of us have new, updated software, because were on all the time, but lets says little jimmy with his old windows 3.1 decides to go search on Snoop Dogg, he comes across my site, he'll be able to check it out, you know what I mean... i want to design for the average computer user, I get emails from so many people about my site, and none of them are from this board.... these are people who just stop by to check it out...they don't make a life out of it, they have a question, they ask... ill answer... so i know im getting to more people. I also get people who complain about my site, I remember when I used frames... many people were saying they could not scroll down my NEWS page... HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO... see where I'm getting at.... Slickk, AlerG, they complained on my board, I could not figure out the problem... they were using the same browser I was, but for some odd reason it wasn't working, so i switched back to tables... ive had no complaints anymore.

I Don't See Whats So Annoying With Pop Up Pages, I Mean Come On Whats The Big Deal? Bpg You Make It Sound Like The Window Is Gonna Pop Up And Fly Around Your Room ( that would be annoying) Anyway To Make My Point Most People Don't Come To Your Site With The Same Browzers, Screen Resolution, etc.. You Can't Possibly Cater To All Those Things At Once And Make The Site Look The Same No Matter What You Do.. The Only Way You Can Make Your Site Look The Same For Every Screen Resolution Is Make A Pop Up.. Which Looks Very Clean & Neat Simple To Navigate.. I Literally Get 15-20 E-mails A Day Asking Me To Make Them A Page Just Like Mine.. When I Come To This Board I Notice The People Bitch And Complain Too Much.. Just Like When Overseer Put The New Colors Up People We're Bitching.. Let's Get Real Pop Ups Aint Really That Bad... It's Just Sumthing To Complain About..
Side Note Our Hits Went Up About 60% When We Put Our New Layout Up.. Hmmmm..
-
I'm not complaining homie... just my thoughts on them, I still love your site as does everyone else, I'm just saying, I don't prefer them... it's all good...
-

nah nate of lock'd down used "diagotic" style for the tharow's site & if you go to sites that are about technologie, robots all that shit you will see more of those sites... I used diagotic to not because of tharow's site but because its a style that not every site has in the hip-hop, rap game...

Bpg You Make It Sound Like The Window Is Gonna Pop Up And Fly Around Your Room
LoL
-
LOL, Ok My Site Don't Have The Fly Around The Room Feature YET, But It Does Have A Boom Boom Room.. What Gets Me Is The Fact That This Board Expands And Looks Rather Shitty.. When 80% Of The Visitor Coming To This Board Have A 800x600 Screen Res. I'd Be Dope If We Could Get The Forum Not To Expand Full Screen.. It Has A Messy Feel To It,I Think Anyway... ;)
