You copied your menu structure from Apple and just changed the colours. :lol:

Metla had the right idea. Recipe thread I believe.
I am about to start one. Apple sauce anyone? Possibly Apricot? Or even Lemon sauce in Beetle's case? 		Sweep (90)

Well sorry totally disagree looks the same but surely if you had a look at the code and understood how the menu system was created you would change you mind.

Which part is a copy then? They are totally rendered differently. To be honest I do like Apples site but look at the graphics and you will see they are not the same, Swapshop rendereds the image once and its preloaded, 		swapshop (10316)

Like I said, a colour change and a few changes here and there. But that doesn't matter anyway, everyone just copies everyone else when it comes to the web. 		E|im (87)

It's easier to tear down than to build up, good on anyone that has a go. Bunch of lamers, get over it. 		whichwayisup (10136)

Like I said, a colour change and a few changes here and there . But that doesn't matter anyway, everyone just copies everyone else when it comes to the web .

Again it is totally different coding to Apples . So why not pick on some of the other sites mentioned or is it the ones that defend their sites that you enjoy picking on .

This whole thread is getting very yesterday . Most of you negative people here have no talent to actually attempt to create a site .

This thread started we are a copy of TM and now we are a copy of Apple . Wow our site is being compared to some of the biggest sites . Thank you so much I now know this is a complement .

Point, we all drive cars and every car has something similar, Yes? Why is this do you think .
Why go against the grain and design a site that is so different that users will need to make a choice, do I learn the new navigation? Or do I already know it?

If you understood web design you would get a better understanding of how a site works .
The tabbed system is one of the most popular on sites and extremely easy to use . So again what is your point . It isnt a copy of Apple but it is similar to sites on the net for a reason .

Site layout unless theres another site somewhere I actually think is orginal . It allows for extremely fast navigation .

Second point that you have missed . This board mentions spyware, popups etc .

Now stop and think, why would you use a CSS menu system versus a java scripted version?

Now days with so many spywares and popups every thing is getting blocked . So from a web site coding point of view you need to be able to get arround these issues . Hence the navigation bar is coded into the page as a CSS and hence no popups, no blocked menu systems .

Hopefully this helps you to understand why web dev and coders do this .

Do not re invent the wheel when its not broken .

Thanks for the question 		swapshopclassifieds (10315)

You certainly showed how much better you are by first attacking my site, and then flaming other posters.

Guys there is no point carry on with this tread if users just start a riot .

You site is clean and quick the way it should be . Everyone starts some where . It simply needs adverts and thats the hard part .

You create a site and then you need to promote it . Zero budget is always hard unless you get a sponser .

Google and other SE's are free sponsers if you code your site their way . I think the comments on your site were OT to be honest .

Question is do you want to get bigger or is it just for these forums? 		swapshopclassifieds (10315)
