Regnum Homepage in Linux - Page 2

I would not think so much about a picture on the page.... The game is more important ngd!

I think the flash should just be done away with...

The only thing lost would be the hover-animation on the navigation, and if you found a good javascript programmer even that could be restored.

A static hover state on the navigation could be easily accomplished using CSS. Then the title...it might as well just be a PNG, I don't see anyone noticing a difference, since it doesn't look like it animates and it doesn't need to be resized.

Then the plus side: besides us Linux-ers being happy, there's also increased accessibility for anyone that doesn't have Flash installed. Using Flash as the primary means of navigating isn't a good idea anyway.

Off topic: I do like the Regnum site a lot better than many other sites. Lots of game sites are made almost completely (or actually completely) out of Flash, which eats up your resources like crazy and is annoying.

if so then they could do what i thought they should, with javascript they could make it detect the OS & flash version(or there being none) and then making it show a png instead if the sites browser uses linux
