RIDE THE LIGHTNING ARCADE CABINET MAME PROJECT
DrewKaree:
Your website is pretty plain. That's not your fault, but just to see pics of your cab, I had to go through three levels of links. That's IN ADDITION to hitting your link just to go there in the first place. I was starting to feel like I hit upon the "link to the best dumb blond joke" thing. Not even thumbnails.
I'll tell ya, the first pics I FINALLY came across showed a kit laid out, and reading a little bit told me there were 58 more pics, and I guessed there were 56 more just like those two I had to go through so much hassle to find, only to realize there wasn't going to be a thumbnail page at the very least.
Modify your first post and at the very least put a pic of where you're at in the progress of your cab so people can determine if they want to go through seeing how you got to that point. I suspect many are like me and simply closed your project page.
Like Mark said, what advice are you looking for? I've gotten very little advice in MY project thread, but I never expected any, nor have I asked for much, and when I DID want some advice, I believe I've been clear in what I was asking about.
It appears you're building a kit. My advice is to follow the instructions carefully, and do it in sections. FORCE yourself to take breaks when you get subassemblies put together to avoid pissing yourself off if something doesn't go right, and to allow you to clear your mind.
Help us help you.

Thats as far as I got, after clicking my way through to find the pictures and then just finding a pic of a kit laid out I said screw this and closed the browser. It's all well and good having a nice website for your cabinet, but if you want feedback then tell us more about it here, not on your website.
RxBrad:
To give him credit, he does have a pictorial with narration on the site, also. However, it's not immediately obvious where to find it.
Click "Tutorials" at the top of the page, then click on the photo of the cab halfway down the page.
All of that eventually takes you to http://mame.christopherdolan.com/ua2log.html
That section's a bit better than wading through his photo albums. Although, right now all he covers is assembling the kit.

Therein lies the major problem. Are you telling me that clicking ANOTHER link is the solution? I'll never make it that far. Clicking all those links was done only to see what he had that no one thought worthy of commenting on. If I had to click one more link, I'd have never been able to give the advice about his kit that I did, because I'd have been gone. I'm not certain you've been around to see Randy T's old web store, but he was plagued by the same problem. He had things he wanted people to notice, but it wasn't readily apparent and far too much work to go through.
If commentary is desired, it behooves a person to make it as easy to find something to comment on as possible, and that starts with easily (and readily apparent) located pics in a thumbnail setup if you've got SIXTY pictures in one album to go through.
Zakk:
Yeah, ditto what Drew said. ;D
