I've just had a look but couldn't navigate very far because I'm allergic to unexpected autostart music on web pages (please think of people visiting from ther work computer in their lunch break) - and there wasn't an off button for the music either, which makes it worse.

I'll have a look again when I've disabled music.

I'll let my friend know about that. Could you please explain what you mean about the music. I'm confused

I'll let my friend know about that. Could you please explain what you mean about the music. I'm confusedThe music plays automatically when you visit the web page. You get no choice. You can't press a button to stop it either. Not everyone likes to go to websites that play music unexpectedly - especially if it can't be stopped (OK, there are ways to stop it but they're not something a technologically challenged PC user would know how to do).

People visit the site because they're interested in skating - that doesn't mean they have the same taste in music as the site producer.

Does that make sense now?

AWWWWWW,so your suggesting therte be a botton for people to choose their music....Not a bad idea Sarah. You yourself have good taste.

AWWWWWW,so your suggesting therte be a botton for people to choose their music....Not a bad idea Sarah. You yourself have good taste.Possibly a button to choose music, definitely a button that allows people not to have music and probably a website that doesn't have music that starts automatically :)

It can be pretty embarrassing in an office environment to come across a website and suddenly find music blaring out of speakers loudly. I know this. It's happened to me! You might expect music to blare out if you visit a musician's website but you don't really expect it on a figure skating site.

Apart from the music, it's a nice site, thanks! Keep up the good work,

Ok Sarah. Could you please a little more about how the audio effects you? As I don't understand about that. Are you saying there should be time in the download to choose music? Also another thing is if we make it wait too long we can loose music. Also it would depend if it can be done. As my friend does the music. So I don't know if he is compatable or not. We'll take it into concideration.

Sarah i am Jorge i've read the critics and i wish say to you thanks you for your feedback , about the music has right , we will disable the music because i noticed problems of compatibilty with Mozilla Firefox and also is true that

Our idea is do a good website and that the visit be a good experience and any feedback or opinion about our website is welcome

We'll take it into concideration.I'm suggesting that not all people want music on websites. I would like not to have to listen to music when I visit your site but you don't give me the choice. I don't think the music adds anything useful to your figure skating site. The music starts playing automatically whether I like it or not. I can't press a button to stop it. If you were to visit your own website and decided you didn't want to listen to music on that particular visit, how would you stop it?

As I am already listening (and wish to continue listening) to Classic FM Radio (http://www.classicfm.com) online (I sometimes listen to NPR (http://www.npr.org) on my computer too), I can't just turn the volume on my PC down as it stops the music I want to listen to as well.

Please give visitors to your site a choice of whether they want to listen to music or not. It shouldn't be difficult to change the site to do that.

Thanks,

Sarah

Good luck with further development of your site,

Hi,it's Dana again friends. Jorge has disabled the music on our site for you all. However,as far as compatibility goes. If anyone can suggest to us a site were we can get music that we can use that won't freeze our site or anything. It would be appreciated. Also what would you guys say to a sound on/off botton?
