Seems "justhost" is popular, mike also is using this host, and i have saw a number of other websites hosting with "Justhost".
Could you make the navigation bar bigger? it was quite difficult finding it.

You are a legend Lawrie, awesome stuff mate. No problems here with navigation. Will catch up with you during the week - was rather hectic last week but have been carrying your stuff around in the car since we spoke lol.

"You might need Glasses as even I can read the "Navigation Bar/Menu" without any problems at all :-)"
I do look at screens a fair lot, but still if you can see it!

So you don't see this, for example:



There are 4 or 5 instances of this, each where the title text has been pushed down out of it's "box" - its definitely a CSS processing thing, and the fs-shipyards one doesn't have the same issue...As I said, I'm running IE8, in standards mode, NOT compatibility mode...

Yeah, that doesn't fix it for me...its definitely something wrong with the CSS - I'd be more specific, but my CSS knowledge is a bit lacking...at work we tend to rely on a specialist in CSS/web site design (who is REALLY REALLY good at what she does too....like award winning good).

The banner on Snowmans site is wierd looking too, BTW:

Sure - the old 80/20 rule right? Or maybe in this case the 500000/1 rule! smile.gif

though I will say that I'm not running at any kind of odd resolution - 1440x900...pretty standard for a 19inch widescreen monitor. And the fs-shipyards site is fine for me too...so SOMETHING is different between them...

Lying in bed with my iPod touch and the site looks good on it. No idea what resolution this screen is though!

At a res of 1280 x 1024 on my 19" monitor, the banner fills the entire space across the top of the page above the navigation bar.
Using Win XP SP-3 and IE8 with all current updates, i have no problems with anything.
