Hey, how do you guys format dates on your websites? In the code, I use ISO 8601, but when a date is dipslayed, it uses DMY as it's the most common format from what I can tell. Should I change this everywhere so it's consistent? What date formats would you use?

Hey, you know how Neocities has limited file types, and only allows you to upload any file if you are a supporter? Does anyone know what happens if you uploaded a "blacklisted" file, but then stopped paying one day?

pretty sure it just stays on your account, you just can't upload new blacklisted files

Hey. I'm just wondering and (over)thinking again. Do/Would you guys publicly host the source code of your website in a repository somewhere like GitHub or sr.ht? Why or why not? I personally I don't want to do it right now because of all the borrowed images I used, and the code I wrote needs to be cleaned up, but I have a feeling it could benefit somebody, somewhere if I fixed both of those issues.

Hey. If you guys were applying for a job, would you use your website as a portfolio? I want to try and disassociate "k-cottonears" from my future professional portfolio, but I want to be involved in multiple creative projects, and I realize doing this is going to be difficult and a shoot in the foot. But, I also want to make content that may be M-rated, and I feel like is a different bullet. I'm unsure what to do.

I wanted to originally have a separate portfolio website on sr.ht sites, to have things more abstracted, but its still probably going to be linkable back to me. Alternatively, I was thinking of having separate identities for these two sites, which again, may limit what I can show to potential employers.

I personally wouldn't because some of what's on my site isn't something I'd want an employer to see at all, but that's me. I'll be making a separate professional portfolio under a different name if I ever need one, personally. You could also try hiding the content on the current site, but that depends on whether you expect something like curl or wget to be used to get the source for the site.

Hey, pink! I noticed an issue using your website. Since you use an iframe instead of individual pages, this means users may encounter pages I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to (see replies), and the users who want to link to a certain page may not be able to do so, as everything is under /home.

Hey Kuneho, the issue here is that using iframes is the only way to get the page to change the content while keeping the layout the same. I understand this can be done with php but I've heard that's not possible on Neocities. I noticed this issue with middle click so I placed a script which is supposed to disable middle click in that menu element - your browser may not be reading that script.
Let me know when you make yourself a button so I can add you to my links page! :P

Hey, Allison! I really like the aesthetics of your website! However, the contrast the background and text is too light. Even for somebody like me who doesn't have any eye problems, it is somewhat difficult to read. Maybe slightly change the text color? Besides that, nice website!

The homepage has this issue. TBH, I think the guestboost has this issue, too.

If it's any help, I find this tool works pretty well to test basic contrast. There are fancier ones, but this usually does the job for text on a background. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
Hey, is anybody's computer fans going haywire every time they visit my website? You know, because of all the blur and shadows. Somebody on Newgrounds pointed it out, and want to see if other people also have an issue like this.
Edit: Haywire is a bit of an overstatement, but is there still any signs of computer resources being overused?
