View Full Version : Farwhat.com
Yesterday we launched www.farwhat.com and some of you have already made some great comments about the site. Websites are ever changing critters, we'll probably change, add or remove things as we go (provided the designers don't throttle me), so feel free to continue commenting on the site. We may not use all the suggestions, but you never know what will help make the site even better.
This website was made to be an advertisement to non-fans. It's meant to reach out to new eyeballs -- eyeballs that have never seen Farscape before. We didn't want to overwhelm them with too much information, but we did want to give enough of a taste so that they have what they need to watch the mini-series this October.
We picked the domain "farwhat.com" because it's a rather intriguing name. It's a question, and hopefully it'll make some folks want to know what the answer is. The domain name is easy to remember, and the site is quick to load (the flash may take a few seconds longer, but the main page itself loads right quick), so it's a good site to pass around to others.
In order for this site to reach its audience, however, it needs you. You're the folks who are out there spreading the word about Farscape and the mini-series. Please feel free to take the link to farwhat.com and pass it around. Put it on flyers, on bumperstickers, on banner ads, on print ads, on anything else you can slap a URL on.
I put out a call for graphics for flyers, buttons, banners, stickers, etc, in the Eye Candy forum. So if you've got any ideas or things you want to post so other people can download them and print them out, please do.
Farwhat.com is another great tool for you to use in your advertisements for Farscape. :D
Thanks to everybody who helped make this fantastic site (particularly all of you who proposed ideas and who provided feedback through the whole design process). :D

As was suggested in another thread about this page, I think you should get rid of the flash animation. It's really slow and jumpy even on a faster broadband connection, and looks bad. I think a slideshow of cool shots would be a better way of showing some glimpses of the beauty of Farscape's visuals. I liked the picture of the farscape module in front of the wormhole that you used in the mockup of the page. But I find the flash animation annoying and distracting.
Hmm, I like the flash animation and it loads almost instantly for me and seems to run smoothly. Scorpy808 went to a lot of trouble to make sure that the page itself loaded quickly for people on slower connections, so they don't have to wait for the flash to load if they don't want to. It's easy to move on to the content of the site.

I like the Flash animation. Looks neat. The entire site looks great. Except for one tiny thing: the page is aligned to the left and that results in a large black void on the right. I'd rather see the page centered or a border around the page.

Flash isn't attached to my favorite browser, so I tend to ignore stuff that requires Flash. Fortunately you don't have to have Flash to see the rest of the website. That really annoys me when sites won't let me see them without Flash. I go elsewhere.
Just to see what quartex was talking about I opened the site in IE, which does have Flash. I thought it was a bit distracting to the rest of the site, and IMHO it didn't add anything for me. Others may think differently, but that's my opinion.
Other than the Flash business, I thought it was a great site!
I don't know all the details -- Scorpy808 will have to fill in the blanks -- but because of the layers needed to create the inside pages, the only way to get it all to line up properly is to make the site line up on the left hand side.

On the "Miniseries" link category, the link near the end for scifi.com/farscape is currently "scif.com/farscape" and it doesn't work needless to say. :D
Other than that, everything is brilliantly done. W00T, everyone, W00T.

Baseline, red
I didn't design the site of course, Scorpy did an amazing job, but I've seen that some people like the design better if it was centered (I personally agree) and thought there has got to be some sort of way we can get it do that. So this morning I tried tweaking Scorpy's code (forgive me Scorpy!) and I wanted to see if I could get centered with the div tags intact. I've tested it on a few browsers that I have access to at home and I think I found a work around.
I need people to test it out to see if the page will indeed work centered.

One minor gripe, could it be set so that the table that the website is on is centered? that way it won't look weird in 1024x768 or higher resolutions.
The flash is beautiful and the critics praise is great, some of them I had never seen before.

The fix by PK Killer works great on my PC at work, which is set at the greater resolution. And I must say, now that most everyone is gone here at work and I can take a closer look at the site, it really is gorgeous. I love the way the characters change both on top and in the main text area each time you click on a new link.
On minor thing I found. On the links page, I didn't see a link to Farscape.com.

Me too... but I have one thing... and it could just be me... but do you think maybe when the new character that is in front of John and Aeryn at the top of the page, they should be scooted to the right just a tad maybe. It looks kinda funny only seeing the backs of both J and A's heads in the backround.

hi Red,
what about Netscape and Safari on a MAC? Have you tried those?
I just downloaded Firefox for my PC today, pretty slick little browser...
Safari's mozilla based, so it looks good there. But I have a strong loathing of Netscape (slower than molassas) so I don't have it installed on my machine. It also looks good on mozilla's Mac Camino build, btw.

Oh, I liked astrogirl's blurb! Where did it go? Also, the link to the primer takes me to wfs.com forums...
ETA: The "making of" section is awesome!
Its centered on my Mac with IE 5.1 now. Looks great.
One more quibble--when you click on the link to learn more of the story, it takes you to the Firescape section of FMD with lots of threads (with no intruction of what to do next). If you then click on the first thread, you get to a page suggesting that for a synopsis, do another click, which gets you to a primer page of watchfarscape with this as a first line:
"For those joining us midway through Season 4 (contains spoilers for episodes 101 - 411).
Farscape, Sci-Fi Channel's critically acclaimed story of a lost American astronaut on a living spaceship full of escaped alien prisoners, returns on January 10 with new episodes...."
now that is pretty confusing to new people. I emailed the site when it first switched over that maybe that paragraph should be updated for people just learning about Farscape, since we know it is from the distant past, but they won't know. Maybe now would be the time to update that text?

So might be my settings and I just don't know how or what to fix.

Also, if you see the "split" through any of the top pics, make a note of what critic quote is in the area to the right and let us know. It may be there is still one of those that is too long and therefore causing a small space to happen when it pushes the table holding the whole shabang down ;)

The site looks great - but you could fix the majority of the browser specific problems by making the entire site xhtml 1.0 strict compliant (you can check this at validator.w3.org ). Reason being, if you do this, each flavour of browser shouldn't switch into "tweaks" mode (whereby it does whatever it thinks it aught to make the page look good), but will render the page as closely as it can to the strict standard, so it should have fewer brain-wrongs appearing. It's a good way of giving yourself a chance of working on any old browser.
p.s. Everyone stop using IE. Use Firefox.

I second that statement :) Especially for browsing forums, just middle-click on each thread you're interested in and have them all opened up in tabs inside your browser window ready to view at your leisure. Instead of in Internet Explorer having to click, come back, click come back or else opening them all in new windows, quickly cluttering the place.

09-16-2004, 08:01 AM
while the tabbed feature is sweet and what I've tooled around in seems cool (nice import feature), Firefox is not going to replace IE. It won't support Active X controls so it will never completely get rid of IE. If anything on the site you are viewing contains Active X controls, Firefox completely ignores them...no warning, no alerts, nothing.
Its just a matter of time before the "evil" Microsoft steals that functionality and incorporates it into IE anyway :)

A LONG time, the next signifigant IE upgrade will come with Longhorn (ages away). No more IE updates are being issued for current Windows versions other than security updates.
I use Firefox as my primary browser and rarely had an issue with lack of ActiveX. It's very very seldom that I need Internet Explorer to view a site and they're usually the poorly designed highly interactive type.

this "solution" was only a suggestion as I couldn't test it on every browser so it appears there are some that don't look correct. I'll take a look at it tonight, but since I can't reproduce the error it will be difficult for me to fix.
----------------------------------------------------
the more I look at this do we really need the fancy divs? What's wrong with just pushing the content down the page like watchfarscape.com site?
I assume the target on the screen resoluton is 1024X768? I see what you are trying to do to keep the bottom image strip banner up on the screen at all times, is that right Scorp?
@ 800X600, I can't get to the bottom content div scroll bar without scrolling the main window scroll bar
@ 1024X768, I can see the all the contnet, but I have to scroll the main window to see all the site at the bottom (bottom navigation and the copyright stuff is not visible). But to me, that isn't a big deal as long as I can see the content.

If Scorpy can tighten up the stylesheet.. that shouldn't be a problem in the future for viewes... there are ups and downs to doing that but "locking" guarantees people will see it how it is supposed to look. Downside is for people who can't se the text at that size and like to view sites with larger fonts..
again its a matter of blowing up the site or letting the text get bigger....

One more little tweak--there's a typo in the critics quotes section--about halfway down -- the daily news one--- I think "themeare" on the second line needs a space to make it "theme are", and wellas on the third line also needs a space.
I noticed because the quote is expanded from what I had in critics quotes, and it was hard to read -- first my eye said to my brain "them ears?" :)

The best way of making your computer less vulnerable to malicious attack is to stop using Outlook and IE. As for ActiveX it's historically been the source of a huge amount of security problems, and more to the point, does nothing that you can't do more safely with non-proprietary features. Don't fall into their trap! They make ActiveX, tell you that you need it, so you have to use IE. All lies. Microsoft aren't evil. They're just not very good.

I played around a bit with the code and found that by removing all the extra spaces between the individual row and data cell code eliminates the problem in Net 6.
example: in the mid section the code looks like this - (tr) (td) if I eliminate the space between (tr)(td) everything lines up. Also remove spaces between your data cells - just for good measure. :rolleyes:

true.... but anything can be vulnerable to attack by exploiting weak points, Microsoft just has A LOT more of them!. Yes ActiveX(IE) and OutLook are vulnerable to attack, but most of that comes from people who don't know what they are doing. They download ActiveX prompts without really looking at them to see if they are safe and then accidently install viruses by viewing email attachments they receive from their friend who got a virus on their computer and is sending emails to everyone is the address book without them even knowing it.
With a little bit of proactive work and staying current with windows updates, they can prevent attacks on Microsoft products. I've never been attacked with either outlook or ie.
For what they provide and nice integration, to me, outweigh the problems. I'm not ready to give up and use something else just yet.

When you click on the farscape story it has a link to the Farscape primer at Watchfarscape, but if you click on it, it leads to the newbie message board here and then if you click on Red's sticky post, you will see another link to the primer. Is there anyway to link directly to the primer without going through the messageboard? I think it will confuse a lot people.

Good point, BG. I agree. The link from Farwhat.com should go straight to the primer here: http://www.watchfarscape.com/primer.php and NOT through the message board. I know plenty of people who would close the browser immediately because they don't like navigating message boards AT ALL, so if they were looking for a primer, they'd miss out.
Yeah, we know the link doesn't go to the right place. If you scan back a few pages it's mentioned. We weren't able to update the link though because the FTP was being wonky. We'll get on it when we get a chance.
posting this again because it might have gotten lost in the past and its an easy and quick thing to fix--it doesn't read well without fixing it.
Another little tweak--there are two typos in the critics quotes section--
about halfway down --in the daily news quote:
First "themeare" on the second line needs a space to make it "theme are"
Second "wellas" on the third line also needs a space.
I noticed because the quote is expanded from what I had in critics quotes, and it was hard to read -- first my eye said to my brain "them ears?" then it said "them ear e"? "the me are?"

Yeah, I noticed those typos, too, blue. ;)
Coolio, Stars. I saw that it needed updating. Glad someone's on top of that. :lech:

The site is looking fan-bloody-tastic. Great effort on every front, congrats! I shall be plastering the addy in as many places as possible.

Just letting ya'll know that I re-uploaded the pages, fixed the spelling errors on the press section and fixed the link to the primer ;)
YAY. The site looks really wonderful.
Is that expanded NY Daily News quote anywhere on the web? I'd like to put the expanded version in the critics quotes--Just want to make doubly sure (am I compulsive or what?) the "a delight" is repeated twice like that.
edit
compulsive? maybe. good speller? not so much.

actually, we've had some really neat images offered to us, so we're working on a few different things... we've been working poor scorpy's fingers to the bone, it's only fair to give her a bit of a break! :hug:

oh, and the primer's been edited and updated, too. ;) although... it does not appear to be up yet. :P
It is so up.
eta ... for some reason there are two different versions of the primer showing up. :rolleyes:
Attempting to fix, or I'll nuke it, which is also a variety of "fixing".

:P told you. i think it's leprechauns. see what happens when you tempt leprechauns?
It reset to a default. Which is annoying. Because it was up, and I tested, and it worked, so there. I deleted the file and made a new one and now it should work for longer than 5 minutes.

it SHOULD... but now all i get is a grey screen. is the URL still watchfarscape.com/primer.php?
It comes up for me - http://www.watchfarscape.com/primer.php

09-19-2004, 10:48 PM
i get it when i click from farwhat.com, but then the URL is http://www.watchfarscape.com/primer.php%20
It's the same thing. I get it from both urls. The "%20" is just an extra space at the end of the url in the tag.

09-19-2004, 10:51 PM
ah, and i get it when i type the URL in by hand now, too. maybe i was messing with it when you were working on it. ;)
thanks, o fearless leader. :aok:

I added the "extras" page (link is at the bottom of all the pages) and did up some quick banners. If anyone else wants to do some banners, feel free.

Hey,
i love the new site, its really pretty :D
with all these draft cards going around, it gave me the idea that maybe on the site, it has a sign up page. i know you can subscribe to the mailing list but i thought it would be fun if neebies could sign up to join the ranks as a peacekeeper and then get a certificate or something and links to peacekeeper merchindise or something.
it would also help us see how many people have visited the site.
whatcha think?
luv n hugs
