WE ARE ON LINE!!!!

[robin]

Hey Robin. I'm not taking any credit for the Lightbox JS animated popups. It is used on other many other sites yes, on a lot of design and portfolio sites. I thought I would give it whirl in the reptile world and I knew as soon as it was used, everyone would want it. I'm wasn't talking about her using the Lightbox JS animated popups though, she's not.

If you would have read, I'm upset about the clone of Pauls layout and a different popup code I made. Call me crazy, but I think it's more flattering when someone says hey I like this, can I use this on mine. It's a lot more upsetting/frustrating to find something you made used without permission.

Also, if you would have read a little more thoroughly I just said I was upset, and later said everything was cool after she posted. I offered to help her out if she needed any ideas too. I don't think I was out of line at all. I think you need to do a better job reading because everything is fine. Marula and I are cool. I was merely ranting about the use of the other animated popup, but like I said I knew people would want to use it and they have every right to.

i did read the whole thing ryan and even though yall said yalls peace i still think your original reaction was way off base and that marula deserves an appology for the way you went off on her.

I sort of disagree with you thinking that your use of LightBox would make everyone else want it, it wasn't you that made me want it at all. More so the use of it on many web designer websites.

That's where I grew to like it as well, on design sites. It wasn't used in the reptile community yet and I figured people would like it. It's really nice, putting all the focus on the reptile and darkening the site in the background. If you would have heard the phone conversation I had with a Paul a few months back regarding the Lightbox JS, it was completely innocent. I told him I know a lot of people are giong to like this, and I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing it on other reptile sites.

Marula has nothing to do with the Lightbox JS code. While i was upset about seeing a similar layout and the other code, I decided to rant about seeing the Lightbox code being used elsewhere. Yeah, I was a little annoyed and my rant was pointless, because I knew people would like it and want to use it...but hey, I'm human, I do say stupid things every once and a while.

Marula I appologize for the confusion and hijack of your thread. I told you right after your post that everything is cool now, it just took me by surprise and I made a post that didn't come across the way I had planned. I ended up talking about two similar things and made everyone think I was a jerk. It's really hard to explain things when typing and not talking sometimes.

I'd like to quote three things to sum everything up for anyone that has read this far...

It looks good, however I'm a little upset that you jacked Paul Allens collection layout and the popup code I wrote. I know a lot of the sites in this hobby are similar, but Paul and I put a lot of thought into his collection page design. I don't know if you contacted him about this or not, but we would have appreciated an email asking permission.

i know that you feel frustrating to see your creation cloned! and yes, i apologize if i don't ask for the permission to use a fast way for testing the new site

Its cool Marula, we just would have appreciated a heads up.

This is all that needed that really needed to be said, but instead I posted more and caused confusion. I think we should be good now :main_thumbsup: Sorry again for the confusion and hijack of your thread. I'd be more than happy to help you with some layout ideas if you'd like. I'm finally caught up on most of my work so feel free to email me: [email protected].

I think the site looks awesome! I'm new to coding and web design myself so the other stuff I am sorta clueless, but it looks great!
