How do you mean it doesn't look right Mike? I've just got onto that firefox one and it looks the same on here as on my other explorer. :conf:

The site doesn't look majorly different, its just not quite the same as I wanted it. The site will still work fine in IE, but it gets laid out a bit wrong.

A couple of things I noticed are.

On my IE the front page looks wrong - with the right hand side boxes slightly overlapping the middle content and being different widths.

On the News list page, the content in the middle doesn't span the full width of the column.

It's fine on mine. Might depend on screen size and resolution chosen.

I think that's Venture Scouts - or it was when I was young.... :eusa16:

It was in the day Mike but me sister now assures me that it's Explorers, unless it's anything to do with her going to Sea Scouts beforehand?!

The only issue I've got is with the varying page widths, although I guess there are still people using 800 x 600 screens so not going to the full page width probably isn't a good idea. It's just a bit odd sometimes when the right hand margin moves a couple of inches left or right across the screen!

I've not tried the site with Mozilla yet but I will do, I've had to install it because of Javascript problems with IE. Too many security options for me to try working out what's gone wrong.

I use Opera and Firefox. An interesitng difference between the two is that with Opera the background is plain white whereas with Firefox there are cheery and white "hoops" going across the screen.

I prefer looking at the site in Opera as the red and white lines in the "white space" to the right of the screen are distracting and hard on the eyes.

You should be able to pick a different colour scheme (one without the stripes) by clicking on a kit at the top fo the page. THe away kits don't have stripes.

Mike, my terminology I'm afraid, I meant these discussion pages like the one we are on now

Ah, in that case ... that's what it should look like.
I made the site designed for a 800-600 screen size in common with many other sites. I am supprised it was full width on your browser, even on my IE it is almost the right size.
