Because that other sticky topic has gone stale, here is a beautiful new one.

SO. Thanks to the combined efforts of SuitCase, (webdesign) AJ, (words) and myself (I wrote like three or four words so I still count) the Save Shaq Fu campaign has a new face.

http://www.saveshaqfu.com/

A content-filled, visually appealing face. Updates to the Shaqalogue are on the way, but will take a lil bit of time as we have to get photographs of each Shaq Fu doing its unique thing.

Now, more than ever, we need your help. WE MUST BECOME STRONG. WE MUST PREVAIL.

Are you Shaq enough??

yeah that's your name sorry

maybe you should spend more time saving shaq fu and less time renaming yourself!!!!!!!!!

I asked this before, but I forget the answer, or maybe I didn't ask. But how do you guys feel about the Shaq Fu musical CD, and the films Kazaam and Steel?

chess!! · « **Reply #5 on:** August 06, 2009, 05:20:52 PM »

The Shaq Fu CD, Kazaam, and Steel are not quite as elusive and endangered as Shaq Fu the game, but they are still very welcome additions.

I was wondering when were you going to post about the site.

I may have something big on my hands. AJ knows the score (!).

chess!! · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2009, 06:24:40 PM »

AJ has informed me of this score.

And what a score. A feat of true heroics, Tort.

The Shaqologue is rather brilliant.

I like the new design, except for the fact that the tower of Shaq Fus overlaps with the text at the bottom :/

The Shaq Staq.

It doesn't do that for me.

Archaemic · « **Reply #11 on:** August 06, 2009, 11:09:01 PM »

Both Firefox 3.5 and Arora do it. Works in Opera and Safari 4 though.

Weird, I'm using Firefox 3.5 and it doesn't do that for me.

Archaemic · « **Reply #13 on:** August 07, 2009, 12:34:49 AM »

That's odd. I'm on a Mac. Wonder if that makes a difference. (One would hope not.)

Chrispy · « **Reply #14 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:13:12 AM »

SuitCase designed the site on a Mac. I don't know whether or not that has anything to do with it.

suit · « **Reply #15 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:17:51 AM »

I tested across OSes and browsers and it should look good on anything except IE6, and a small bug on iPhone Safari where the text doesn't flow around the staq as tightly as it should.

Indeed, I just checked again on FF 3.5 Mac and it looks fine to me..? Maybe you have a weird user CSS file or something going on.

Archaemic · « **Reply #16 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:32:39 AM »

I dunno, it's happening in Arora too, which is kinda weird! I have a slightly old version of Firefox though (3.5.0 as opposed to 3.5.2), but I think the only changes between those are security fixes.

Overall though, it's a really nice, clean design.

E] Turning up my font size seems to fix it.

suit · « **Reply #17 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:38:10 AM »

Your computer must be weird. I don't know what Arora is but Google says it's webkit, and I tested in Chrome as well as Safari. Just like I tested in FF 1.0, 3.0 and 3.5!

The Fu is clearly not with you..?

Archaemic · « **Reply #18 on:** August 07, 2009, 04:07:08 AM »

Yeah, Arora is basically a browser demoing Qt/WebKit. I figured out why the disparity, though: if I turn down the font size in Safari or Opera, the problem turns up.

E] Seeing as you use fixed pixel quantities for positioning and the like, I'd recommend setting the font size via a pixel size, not an em size, as em sizes are relative to the browser's set font size, and by no means absolute like the rest of the website is.

The site is fantastic. XD

suit · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:37:39 AM »

Archaemic, I'm still not seeing it! I'm sure in ye olde Firefoxe and ye olde Safarie there will be problems because they had stupid font-only page zoom, but as all modern browsers do proper Opera-style zoom I don't really test for that anymore.

You people talk the talk, but how many seriously walk the walk?

evan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 09, 2009, 12:39:56 PM »

as soon as i get a car the first thing i'm doing is plundering my local game stores for shaq fus. I might even use this John Quincy Adams dollar coin I've had since Lemocon to buy it...

well as it stands that is literally the only money in my wallet but that is aside the point

H Hog · « **Reply #23 on:** August 09, 2009, 05:35:05 PM »

Hey, I proved my walkingness in the other topic. Soon as I recieve it, I'll hunt down the Staq's soon-to-be first PAL-region Shaq Fu as well (unless you guys already found one), and send 'em both together.
