OH and what the hell is that joomla shit o_O I dont like it... is it the reason why the HTML and CSS source is that long?
There should be no more javascript than what it needs to change that menu background when you have mouse on it...

And I would rather use links like this:

...than this:
http://www.darkstars.co.uk/spring2/inde ... &Itemid=33
Might still be done with apache mod_rewrite thing better, but meh, that joomla shit just makes me sick for some reason, also adds that stupid ad at bottom "Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.", I dont see why you need to use such thing... i dont like such ads when you dont really need to use that software, i mean you dont REALLY need to use it.

I would rather have the latter link than go through the business of trying to setup url rewritting especially with an eviction notice.

Huh? You like them? Those links tells nothing about the content, they suck, they are too long, they are ugly. THINK THE USERS!

Also, you get worser ranks in search engines when you use such links which doesnt tell about the content at all.

Its just easier for everyone if you dont use that joomla crap, no need to struggle with rewrite engine, or anything, this kind simple pages doesnt need any complex content manager systems...

You know I've wanted it to work that way since step one.
