SIte Navigation?

[Eternal]

Just wondering when designing site navigation (wanting to add a bit of animation), would you recommend javascript or flash? I'd normally do flash, but realize not everyone likes to enable Flash.

Depends what sort of animation. Many animated effects can be easily achieved with jQuery (which is definitely much better compared to flash in my opinion).

I'd go with javascript.

Is jQuery better then javascript?

It would e similar to this type of animation (just highlighting buttons when hovering):

jQuery is javascript.

You can do hover effects like that just with css, so you don't need any jquery effects for that navigation.

Ok cool.

Hum, I'd say you should avoid Flash as often as possible. As you may know, some mobile devices don't support it, mostly for performance reasons. However, most recent devices support javascript. For example, the iPhone/iPad aren't likely to support Flash in a near future. And there are more users than we imagine

While we're talking about navigation on my site... just wanted to see which type of table borders people preferred:

Don't like the angled one.. straight seems better to me.

Just wondering Ehren is something like this possible?

It would have a scroll then for the rest of the way like this:

Yes, its possible to design a layout like that.

Also, Im not feeling that gray much, try pulling some colors from your background.

Your the first person so far that has said you didn't like the gray. =( So far everyone has loved the look.

I did try colors from background, and it looks really bad, no one seemed to like it.

That forum skin looks really nice and original. Maybe the forum is a bit too gray. But it could work, as its hard to tell from screenshots.
