Everyone must have had an early night last night John :)

About the site ...

Colours are certainly different, but that doesn't mean I don't like
them.

Side scrolling div. No problem with that, though a personal thing of
mine is that 'scroll bars' look a little old now. Maybe you could think
about using a scroll button like the ones discussed over the last few
days?

Beneath the missing graphics there appears to be an empty space, but I
guess you'll be putting something into there. Also the gap between the
header and content looks a bit excessive, especially at 800x600.

A final thing, the text is possibly a little small / hard to read and
because you can't adjust the font size in the browser, this could cause
a few problems for some people.

No Mac or Linux, so can't help there.

WinXP IE6 - works / loads fine

Netscape 7.1 - things start going a little crazy, all font styles fall
back to default with knocks your scrolling divs out of line.

Opera - best not even go there : ( ..... Have to say, I haven't got
our new site to work with opera yet!

Hope some of this helps,

Tony
