Is there anything to see yet? Not being impatient mind you, Just curious.
I am also averagely miffed off as having lost all that drunken creative writing. Wholly unreasonable on their part not giving enough warning so people can retrieve their work.
Is there absolutely no way of retrieving it ? And if not can we leave a feedback about them leaving no stars and a scathing review?

Can't get to anything that was on there. Not happy at all.
There is just the front page for the moment, I am rebuilding the members area at the moment

How do I get there? Can I type in the web address? The link at the bottom of your post keeps going back to the previous bunch of twarts.

It's only the start. For some reason all my original code isn't working on the new host, this isn't a big problem as I'm redoing a lot of it anyway but it is a pain as I could be doing other things first.

Take your time mate. At the end of the day it's the quality of the end result that is important. Not how soon it's up and running. So have a beer if you need to. I'm starting on the gin just now in celebration of the birth of this great record of the gloriousness that is the common man, under arms, against the loathsome enemies of humanity! ! !

OK so the basics for Guard are in place, you can register and view regiments. To get things moving quickly I'm going to get the other 40k races to the same point. Feel free to give your input.

I'm half cut and attempting to re write my lost fluff. The front page looks good. I like the images they have colour and depth.
There's a few glitches once going into Guard or Marines but I'm sure you're aware of them.
It is going to be tiered isn't it?
Like :-
codex/race army regiment/unit characters
The only "O" or "A" level I ever got was in English language. I'm better at creative writing than I am at painting minis. That's for sure. Until this site I didn't have the reason nor inclination to engage in any sort of creative writing. (Paramedic Essays don't count). And up until a couple of days ago I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it.

Yeah I am aware there are a few glitches but as it stands I am trying to get bits of the site up as I get it done and then I realize I missed something and go back and change it. This will get resolved though.
I wasn't sure how to tier it the way you've suggested but now I've had time to think about it I have an idea or 2.
ALSO - I am in need of a banner for the site. If anyone is able to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if "Tier" is the right word in computer speak but I've just had a peek at your Thezian entry and that's pretty much the concept I had in my non-IT brain.
What's involved in making a banner? Is it just finding a design or image or does it involve computer skills.
Just trying to figure out a way I can help.

Needs to be a non copyright picture and a bit of Photoshop for some words I don't have any programs like that at the mo I'm afraid plenty of people here to help though I'm sure

So a non copyrighted image that depicts the imperium? With some script somewhere prominent saying something like "The Imperial Archives". So something like an Aquila or Eagle and a book or scroll? Attachments:

I just googled "Art Deco eagle" and I quite like this.
But if we change the GW Imperial Aquila then it's not copyright breech is it.
I'm thinking of placing a book or scroll into the talons of the Aquila.
But as this is the 40th millennium maybe it should be a floppy disk or flash drive?

I'd do a scroll personally. Tier is the right word for it by the way

I've tried a few things for a banner in the last few hours but alas, my lack of IT expertise defeats me once again.
then I had a thought.
What's a banner meant to be?
I thought it was just a sign. Like to say "This is the Imerial Archives website".
Then my girlfriend said it's actually a place where you can put advertisements or messages.
So which one is it? I mean I'd normally trust what my girlfriend says but I won't just now because she's a bit drunk. So am I for that matter.

Ah ... OK. Well now I know. You were asking for the title sort of one weren't you? And It just hit me that it would probably have to be of certain dimensions no? Like the size and shape of the one atop the IGMB?

Marine and Guard armies can now be registered and viewed. What would people like to see done next? Then i can get started on the more in depth stuff.

Just registered a space marine chapter but can't get to see it now. It's like the button bar at the top overlaps in some places with the list of codexes/races. I don't know if this is just my PC or if it's happening everywhere or if it's got anything to do with me not being able to see my SM entry.
I wish I could be more helpful.

May I make a suggestion about the gallery?
I think this would be a nice way for the collection of uploaded pictures to work.
So I click onto the "gallery" button. I'm then taken to an area where there is a "unit list" where every Army and every Regiment are listed. Maybe with their unit crest alongside their name. (also an indicator as to whether any images have been uploaded for that particular unit or not).
I then click onto an Army or Regiment and am then taken to the collection of pictures that have been uploaded for that particular unit.
Just some fine tune points. In the "unit list" the Regiments and their Army should be grouped together. That is that they are listed sequentially. Not scattered around within the list. So that if I wanted to see all of the Thezian army and regiment pictures I won't be trawling the list, they'd be all clumped together.
Also, could there be a link ant the bottom of an Army or regiment fluff that could take me directly to that units gallery. And vice versa. A link at the bottom of a units gallery that will take the viewer straight to their fluff
