Thanks, that problem should be solved now

Looking for critique on what to add and not to add.
The websites look great

www.othsrobotics.com

Also the domain doesnt really work without the "www" we tried the htaccess redirect but that didnt seem to fix the problem

What web server do you run?

Here's a sample from ours.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} (on)?
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^www.mmrambotics.ca$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)
RewriteRule .? http(?%1s)://mmrambotics.ca%2 [R=301]

[robotics1208]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^othsrobotics.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.othsrobotics.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect 302 /welcome.php http://www.othsrobotics.com/index.shtml

is what we currently have

We are running DirectAdmin as our server

That would only redirect non-www URL's to www URL's.

We know that's the code but for some reason it doesnt work.

Where do we put that code?

Nice website overall. Some simple suggestions:

1) Give some styling to your dropdown menus. Like a hover state that way it's easier (and cooler) to see which one you are hovering over.

2) I suggest making your logo clickable . People's instincts are to click the logo to go home.

But again nice site!

Nice slider concept in the center! I was thinking of doing something like that this year. Do you use your own custom cms?

[Sean Raia]

I am pleased to share our website with you all.

I have been working off of last years template to try and make it fresh, basic, and sleek. I hope to hear some constructive criticism from you CD folks.

Yeah. It's just a little bit of simple MySQL and I used CKEditor. If only I could get someone else to actually write the content now haha.

If someone zooms in on the site though, the layout gets totally ruined. Anybody think of a way around this?

When I view this site, the logo banner ("Power Hawks Robotics Team 1111 from ...") displays to the left of the rest of the content, making the page twice as wide as my screen. I'm on Google Chrome, Linux.

Team 3238's website is at http://team3238.com - any feedback is appreciated.
