The club's colours are maroon and navy and so these colours are used throughout the website.
When the site was first developed, not everyone had access to a fast machine and so it
was written to run on slow machines and by association, older browsers. This
explains why some of the earlier photos are shown initially as thumbnails.
On older browsers the cascading menu on the front page will show as a normal menu, the mouse won't produce different colour effects when it hovers over a link, and so on.
The site has been written using an html editor with some prototyping using FrontPage.
It was originally developed on a pentium 166 wintel machine.
The site has been hosted in a number of locations since 2000; originally in
Australia but later in the USA.

The photographs come from a number of sources.
Most of the team photos were scanned from the framed photos in the clubhouse
(the photos then kindly re-framed by Richard Wells, a friend to Old Collegians'
as well as his own club, Adelaide Uni), a significant number taken from 1996 were taken by Paul Horne, most of the photos taken in 2001, 2002 and 2003 are by Kim Evans, Kristie Hume and Lusia Rakiwasa and are taken with a digital camera, some photos have come from the Adelaide Advertiser archives, other photos come from various
members' collections. The source of each photo is usually indicated where known.
From 2004 more people had (digital) cameras and started supplying photos.
The team photos and Adelaide Advertiser photos are held with the club's historical documents, currently with Paul Horne (in secure storage in Adelaide)
All pre-digital photos taken by Paul Horne have been scanned as high resolution tif files then resampled as jpeg files which are those displayed on this site.
