My mind boggles to think anyone would browse web without adblock.

Adblock doesn't work too well with linux. Can you reccomend a better one?

There are a few pages that are blank for now. These are usually top level pages that are populated once the lower pages are filled out.

Unfortunately, I need the ads to cover hosting rates. Its a lot of work, which I do for free and the love of the hobby. However, I can't over the hosting rates without ads. I don't think I am asking too much here. The other site I had was taken down because it did not cover hosting rates. This is why I am bringing everything into one site in the hopes that it will cover monthly hosting.

CSS: Yes, I am using CSS as I have been told it is the 'proper' way to do things. I try to keep as much of the site HTML and avoid flash and css if it complicates viewing. But, I also understand that there is a firefox port for the amiga soon?

Looks like amiga history guide: Actually I ripped off the design from this site: BassFishing-gurus.com - another site I created :p <- check out the about us page.

IE9: thanks - I will look into this. Unfortunately for now, I can't install IE9 on my Mac :( Did you try another machine? DOes it work with IE8?

Oh yes, the links at the very bottom are not yet programmed, but I need them on every page. They should be working within two weeks once the site is complete. I just need these links on every page.

The menus now work on IE7, They should also work on IE9. I was missing a few javascript files. :)

Works fine here on XP and MorphOS. Maybe you configured it wrong?

It works great on windows 7. But i'm using it on Ubuntu and i'm constantly adding filters on my regular sites that i visit. Maybe you are right and i should spend some time going through it to see if it's configured right.

DUH! I had my subscribed filters turned off. I turned them back on and updated. Now it seems to be working better. YAY!  :)

Thanks a lot guys. The problem was that I left out two javascript files from the template. For some strange reason, it worked fine in Firefox and safari.

I appreciate your assistance very much. Web design is a hobby for me and I wanted to recreate a comprehensive site with the Amiga and Commodore playing a significant role.

Thanks so much for thing time out of your day to help me :)

Now for some aspirin! I have a splitting headache...
