And what's far more worse: 'we' won the America's Cup (I just realised
that the site is located in NZ, and I better keep my mouth shut :)

what was the name of the skipper again?

3. you could write "click here for german", etc...., but that would
look dull!

It would also be useless to someone who spoke no English. How about this?

Hey Toby

Of course you would put it in their language and thanks for the
translations, I may actually use those. However, my point was that it
would look a little dull, that is all. Maybe it is a good point
though.... I have added the language names (in their own language) as
titles and alts to the flag images ... Perhaps that covers all....
What do you say?

You could... you could... have it repeat only once and stop. You
could have the 4 (if there were there 4, I am working from
memory) go only once with no repeats and final resting place
could be all 4 logos together, a 1/4 the size each in the same
space, as a reminder of what the bigger show showed. Or a
combination of the two suggestions.

Hey Dorayme

Have a look - not perfect yet, but a lot better:

I thought you had implemented the idea I suggested and I was
pleased. But you cannot stop yourself! It started repeating all
over again! The idea was the 4 would be graceful way to end the
thing and spare those of us greatly irritated by repeating
things. That was the whole point of my suggestion. It was not
meant to give you an idea of how to add yet a fifth thing to
repeat!

I did not mean to bite your head off! I know it is now more
likely that someone will have left the page by the time the third
and fourth repeat comes along... Honestly, though just don't
repeat it at all. That will be best of all worlds as far as this
particular little display is concerned.

Am sure others have mentioned about text size... it really does
break badly when one ups the text on users browser..,

I like the look of the thing well enough otherwise. I have some
mixed feelings about the vertical space that the top house and
heading takes up. You could investigate the idea of scaling the
image to fit the browser window. I looked into em dimensioning
years ago after a post by the good Alan Flavell, you might % do
it too. I know you have tricks already, but it still takes up too
much space.

Hi Dorayme

Totally agree with your post above. It may actually be an idea to put
EVERYTHING into %, for now, we will be alienating about five percent
of our customers, over time, we will definitely reduce that. I just
wanted to get the site up now rather than later.... if you know what I
mean.

Yes, I do know what you mean. There are practicalities in life
and getting things out that are not perfect is an important way
of making a difference.
