Just another thing to point out: When I clicked on the pull-down box to go to my homepage, the status bar in IE said that the site was trying to load a page called "indexprocess.ez". Now, are you teling me that the "indexprocess.ez" script is being processed every time someone clicks on the pull-down box? Doesn't your server take a pounding from 1,600+ people clicking that box every few seconds? How is that more efficient than the old HTML link that takes you straight to the page? When I did go to my home page, I just love the black text against the dark brown background. Unreadable! I guess I could change the background to dark and the text to white, but I prefer a light-colored background. (Also, studies have shown that light-colored backgrounds are easier to read, but dark-colored backgrounds may be better for displaying images.) P.S. The next time the admins decide to change the site, I suggest someone does a usability study first. Experiment with different color combinations and poll the site users before making changes. P.P.S. If the above postings are any indication, will people leave the site? And if people leave, will that mean less people shopping... which means less customers, which means less money? --John
