.(cause my eyes don't like many time on computer :( )


:lol:

I can sympathise.... my eyes hurt too every time I see this humongous background and the ryanair-like colour scheme  

Seriously though, I don't want  to discourage you because you seem to have spent a lot of time on this site, but you really need to rethink the design.

This is not simply a matter of individual taste - the current "design" gets in the way of practical matters like  READING the text, finding the buttons etc

There are good reasons why bright, detailed, multicoloured backgrounds are not used on the web: they distract from the site's actual content (as well as taking ages to load) - if you really need to keep these backdrops then you could perhaps dither them, blur them, greyscale them or somehow reduce their information content - it's just too much for human brains to take in...

I managed to click my way through to the CD32 page (like someone else said - this is nearly impossible to do on Firefox)  - that page isn't that bad actually! Good work on that one ;)  - it's much less of an assault on the sensory system - and could perhaps be a good model of how to maintain the distinctive retro look while making the site usable by humans...
