Thanks everybody for your thoughts..AND suggestions! :o) It brought a smile to my face realizing that there still are people around -even on this long thread- who are NOT aware of two very important links on my site, both always put right over the what's new section (page most visited) so they get easily spotted! Those are the "Characters Index" page and the "Textures Index page"! Actually, those are the only bookmarks you really need for Fairywoods...Both pages, all they have are descriptions and direct links to each and every single item on Fairywoods! They exist on the site since late 1999 when it overgrew, as I'm NOT a mazochist to expect people to find what they are looking for PAGE by PAGE, among 60 pages of characters or 100 of textures the least... :o) I got offended on the above message and jumped off.. mostly at the part about the one hour lost and the 60 pages surfed to end up to something that is not for free...WHY? because it could have taken that person just 3 button clicks to navigate to the exact location of all those textures in a jiffy and would have saved that person an enormous deal of frustration! That's why "I" got frustrated! ;o) Since those green ornated buttons leading to those valuable index pages were not clear enough over the last couple of years, starting out in 2001 I revised them to text, with a Fairy guarding them at either side.. hoping to grab more attention to them! I also keep backup pages (available to surf) of all previous what's new pages..so even if you don't like the index pages you can go through backups and use THOSE direct links according to date of creation! Those backup links are always located at the bottom of the latest what's new page! Honestly, I don't know if I can do anything more to make FW navigation more clear or easy..it's a huge site and redoing it from scratch is out of the question! I just hate html and if you stop to consider how many pages I have to redo (indexes and what's new page included) just for ONE single item I might upload..then I think you won't blame me for that choice! :o) Sometimes it just helps to scroll through the whole page from top to bottom than just looking in a rush for the download links... :o) Bottom line is that this morning I found another long message from the same person in my inbox, apologizing about this and letting me know of being a newbie! THAT I can definately understand, forgive and forget and so I did! I even told that person of some hillarious experiences of my own early poser days too, when I was a newbie myself and I'm sure that person doesn't feel offended or an idiot at this point! It can happen to the best of us.. Turns out though that this thread was not totally useless after all..maybe now MORE people will get aware of those valuable links... :o)
