    Its alright - not much to assess I guess.
    The blue dates look too much like links at first glance.
    Maybe after someone succesfully posts (as I did!) then have an alert box appear - I know the name should appear but don't presume people see that line.

    edit: great idea BTW!

    Indeed. Don't assume that people will check to see if their name has been listed. Give them some feedback, especially as the CAPTCHA can be difficult to read (whats a 0 and whats an O, for example).

    Interesting, what browser you using? It works fine for me in FF 2 and IE 6!

    <script> tag is missing a type attribute. That's the only error appearing.

    The verification code (to stop spam I presume) is good.

    You could make a bigger reference to the bebo site - e.g. requesting people add you as a friend.

    IE 6. A lot of sites that are posted up here have a similar problem when I view them.

    I'll let the owners of the site worry about that!:D

    CoNfOuNd, i know it's off topic but your Spiral Hosting navigation is way off in IE7 and doesnt look right in IE6, there are some other IE6 issues too

    Just wanted to point them out.

    grahamor - thanks for the feedback. I've fixed one bug there now in IE6 (the top menu wasn't in-line) and there are a few design issues I plan to fix. If you have any other comments on the site I'd like to here them (PM me maybe).

    It's very hard to get it working in all 3 browsers. I had to change code to make it work in IE7 which then affected the appearance in FF, and the other way round.

    It follows XHTML/CSS standards so it's really IE that is at fault.
