Hi.
Following a major facelift and upgrade (with extensive help from members of these boards), I think I need a few opinions, and some constructive critique.
There *may* be a few *minor* issues, but I think I've ironed most of them out, so all I'm looking for is what browser you used to visit, what OS/Platform, screen res, and any problems.
If there's anything else you want to add, please do so!
It's at http://www.practicalairsoft.co.uk/
Pages are built using ASP includes for the header, menubar, and footer, by the way.
Thanks in advance!

Lookin good, Redcap.
Something I hadn't paid attention to previously.
You have left and right floated images and need to put some padding on them as the text is too close.
img.left {float:left; clear:left; padding: 0 5px 5px 0;}
img.right {float:right; clear:right; padding: 0 0 5px 5px;}
Use them with <img class="left" ... /> etc.

Thanks! You helped make this version's layout, so give yourself a pat on the back too, mate!
Er... which page(s) are we talking about, David? I'm all over the place this weekend!

Thanks. It's green, because Airsoft is a combat game, themed primarily on MilSim (Military Simulation), in that players shoot at each other using quasi-military tactics, and non-lethal Airsoft guns... then go down a bar (pub) afterward, and laugh about the antics they've been getting up to that day, while other, normal, people edge away from these crazy people! ;)
I decided on a predominantly green colour for the site, since it's a colour most heavily associated with the Army, the colour military equipment tends to be painted, and (lacking a Hollywood design consultant ;) ) seemed to be the best basic colour for the job!
Nice to know the navsys works, by the way - thanks for that!
800x600 is pretty mush the lowest res I'd had in mind for this redesign project, so it's nice to see that the idea worked!

Yep, see above for the reasons why!
Keep the feedback coming, please!

Look at the images you have floated on your main page. The text is smack up against them and it doesn't look good. Put at the end of your CSS this code:img {padding;5px!important;} this will mess up some or your images, but look at the images in the main content section. See how the text has moved away from them. The previous CSS examples would be far more selective in where they would apply the padding: leaving the float side with no padding but the text side would get 5px - a pretty standard amount. Mess with it as you wish. (Oh and BTW - get rid of the code at the top of this message - it was just for illustration purposes.

Thanks for the clarification; I'll look over the code when I'm less knackered - I just got back from successfully completeing a course at work, and I'm all in!
