Fear not! The wavy logo won't go away, at least for the time being. :-) The reason for the current static logo is my laziness: 1) I had to edit the Flash to scale it to the new dimentions. 2) I had to wait for a little extra time each time I refreshed the pages (and I do it a *lot*). So, the current static one is there just for long that the site is in Beta. As soon as it's going to go live, the good-old wavy logo will be right there (maybe I can even spend some time making it look better.) > I like the new design very much.

I planned to make an acknowledgement page for those giving comments on the beta, so that everyone knows that if the site looks great, it's because of their participation, not because of me on my own. Also a wishlist is in plans, so that when the site goes live, visitors can request features, and I try to implement those wishes as soon as my time schedule allows but regularly. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (www.farda-tech.com) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] "In Heaven an angel is nobody in particular."
