the designer is the developer. we are internally tweaking it in our IT Dept. I guess I felt that if I found the guys with the right vibe and abitility to frame the story that we could fix the technical stuff. ALso it was beta in the wide open as Im sure is common.....not...Realize that it launched a few weekls earlydue to the entire staff tiring of the constant bitching about the old one.

See how tolerant I am because you made an interesting introductory post!

Thanks for your tolerance BP, and for the record, my post wasn't intended to p!ss anyone off - I'm a software developer and designer with many years experience and I just call it like I see it.
Nothing, and I mean nothing will convice me that my MM Sterlings are anything but the best sticks I own/have ever owned (and I have 14 basses currently hanging on my wall).
I hope that my comments are helpful to your developer - if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hey, fellow Melbournian!

Welcome to the forum! Stick around...it's a great community. It's good to have another Melbourne-based EBMM fan on board!! Melbourne: the Australian capital for EBMMs!

(By the way...my pathetic writing skills let me down...sorry if you thought I was p!ssed off in that post of mine that you quoted...couldn't have been further from what I intended to express! I was actually aiming for a light-hearted banter...oops...I missed!

No worries, mate!
BTW I thought Melbourne was actually the centre of the universe - someone actually calculated it a few years ago. Actually they were only confirming an old Phonecian theory that took much of its information from an even earlier Egyptian study - something written in the scrolls about a city in the future that would become the hub, the axis, the complete and utter centre of the universe as we know it today.
But heck, it's just a theory.

Very nice. Thank you! I think it's great - like everything else, I'm sure the site will evolve and improve over time. It's miles above the old site - and a great foundation for future upgrades and features.

I have discovered the problem with the mouse-over color displays for the new web page. (affecting IE7, that I’m aware of)

The color pads are out of the margin area and will not show on screen unless screen width is 1700 or wider.

I viewed the source code and apparently border widths and margins for the container area are not set properly within the html code, and therefore fall outside of the page area.
It appears that the table for the colors chart has a "floating" border. Should be "fixed" border location.

To WEBMASTER: Hope this info can help correct the problem.

THANKS
