Have been updating whenever I get sent stuff. Some new folk on but it would be cool to see what some more of you actually look like.

Also anyone who wants to change pics or info just send stuff to the address.

For those who don't know about it
www.specialobserve.tk

Suggestions and improvements would be welcome as well as anyone with the site development skills who could improve what we have.

Don't moan about the links and use of frames (not changing that at the moment, not got the time to work out a better solution. The old look option in the menu bar should sort out some problems for most.

Also use explorer if you can. Tends not to like netscape.

Enjoy it and let me know if you want stuff change or have suggestions to improve it.

Saying that...

Geocities have a proper mailto thingy...

So that it sends it through them without the > bits and without needing to use IE...

I'll have a quick look!

I can make you the form for submitting information to your hotmail address, but I don't know how to do it with PHP.

But doesn't that involve you having to use IE and needing to have Outlook Express set up?

It also puts a > at the beggining of each line, making a cut and past job slightly harder...

This is where better knowledge and people who want and have the time to help would be good.

I can do basic site design and a fair bit of programming but know nothing about php, forms and all the other stuff people suggest to sort out the on going design problems.

So if someone can and wants to help please let me know.

You don't need PHP to do that. He could just have a form, as suggested, but the submit button would send the info to his email address.

Because it's hard to do and Geocities don't allow PHP...

The design is crap!

Us people with proper resolutions 1024x768 have a crappy little window!

Kill the window frame and have the bar on the left link to the whole bit on the right, not just the window...

Pooooo!
