Thanks for the info. As far as I can tell it's because the length of the page gets reduced while the content is loading, removing the vertical scroll bar. Then when the content loads the scroll bar is needed again - so the page jumps to where it was again.

I will try and fix this in the next redesign - perhaps fade out the content and overlay a loading bar while the content is being fetched rather than completely nuking it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

First off thank you for the suggesions - I'll definately work on the homepage and the font size of the navigation bar at the top.

The non-JavaScript tracker is inserted alongside the JavaScript and is used when a user has JS disabled. Although the data obtained from it isn't as good quality (it lacks a page title and referrer etc) it makes it so you have an accurate representation of hits, and still allows you to see how many unique visits you've gotten.

I'm glad you like the design and actual stats stuff - but I'm not sure what you mean by the page jumping to the right and back. What browser version + OS are you using?

I appreciate your feedback. I'll definitely improve the home page, and make the various grammar mistakes that I've made. I did have my doubts about the term "Unique", perhaps simply "New" would be a more accurate label.

Thanks :)

Thanks! I'm not really concerned about getting the site working for non-Javascript users right now, I'm primarily looking to work on the functionality side of things before I worry about that. :)

I will definitely address that issue though.
