Hes fixing it while we try to access it, so there are going to be times hes editing or writing code and the site wont be available for awhile. No, it should be up all of the time.
And yes, I am fixing things as I get to them, right now.
It should be up, all of the time.

That is its demo domain name. We still haven’t figured out what domain to publish it under. Lawyers and stuff, you know.

When I clicked it open, there it was. I didn’t touch or move a thing. I also found it weird that when I scroll down with my mouse, it scrolls sideways. But that could just be me.

Be that as it may, it still displays information in a way that not particularly useful and does not accurately reflect time! lol

Yes, it does give you a dimensional view of history.
I once tried to combine all of the timelines of all of the Popes to the year 1600.
It turned out to be a big jumbled mess. lol
You can combine the timelines by selecting multiples in the list on the lower left.

I know what that is, and I think I can fix it in the next 5 minutes.

Message: start is null or not an object Fixed it.
It was one little comma in a memory array, that Foxfire ignores, and Microsoft has a fit over.

I bought it up in IE, and the first page didn’t work.
Then I clicked on another time-line in the lower right, and it worked.
I don’t know why this is happening.
But that is why I put it up for beta today, so I could punch though these issues.

It would certainly be nice if you had a few controls on there to limit the time-line to specific chunks of time (like last 100 years, a specific time-frame, all, and reset to default [perhaps that is also all]).
It probably wouldn’t hurt to provide an option for users to have a horizontal scroll bar as well, or at least prominently display a message telling people to grab and drag the time-line to move side to side.
