Thanks for the detailed review Chuck! I'll have most of these resolved tomorrow.

I didn't want to go live with the Lycos site first, I wanted a lower traffic site to test on first but that's just how it worked out. > - I get the impression that your IMG tags don't specify width > and height, because the layout changes after the icons and photos fill > in. Adding those specs would make the interface feel smoother. Good point, I test on a T1 so it's usually too fast for me to notice.

I just threw that in yesterday from our other site (http://ffs.cc) and noticed as I was getting ready to leave that it needed transparency. I'll fix that tomorrow. > - It would be cool if I could click on a heading to sort by > that in the table.

I look forward to seeing it. Thanks to everyone involved in WebWare, Cheetah and FunFormKit, I really love using them!
