Is the Navigation bar better on the left or did people prefer it at the top ?

I dress to the left, so it suits me fine!

On top, please Steve.
Bits of piccies hanging in mid air looks 'tacky', sort of 'Not quite finished' from a designer point of view! ;D Whilst in the left-hand window, they fitted good and neat.
Ciao, Bill.
-
Bill are you using Internet Explorer ? and is the piccie hanging mid-air fixed now ?
I'm also planning on putting a border round them.
-
Aye Steve,
Explorer 8.
Hanging piccie now fixed at 23:44hrs 11-06-2010.
Regards, Bill.

It's good to change things about now and again....keeps it fresh and interesting....and means, in your search for your old favourites you come across stuff you've been ignoring or missed.
Tesco's do it all the time (well, all the supermarkets do it to be honest....but I bluddy hate Tesco's, so I'll blame them) there's probably a name for it.....
Anyway....Steve you do such a good job with this site, any changes you make on here are fine by me.
-
There's our google challenge for the day, to find out what the name is for the supermarket policy of moving stuff around. ;)

I found this:
These days you've really got to have your game face on when you head out to buy groceries. Supermarkets have quite a few tricks they use to get you to buy what they want to sell, to keep you in the store as long as possible, and to encourage impulse purchases. Here are just a few of the methods they use so you can be ready and shop smart:
* Eye candy Tempting impulse items aren't just located by the cash register. Many stores put the candy/sweets aisle directly opposite the cereal aisle so a must-have (cereal) easily leads to a must-avoid (candy), especially if your kids are along.
* End-caps People often assume (I'm guilty of this one) that because something is featured and stacked up at the end of the aisle that it must be on sale or new or on some other kind of special. Rarely the case, but then you've already got it in your head that you want one.
* Shelf shuffles Supermarkets often rearrange the order and location of basic items in a blatant effort to keep customers looking longer and spending more time in the store shopping.
* Cozy spots to relax By incorporating comfortable places to relax like cafes and coffee shops grocery stores make it easy for you to make shopping almost an all-morning or all-afternoon event. The more time you spend the more you're going to buy.
* Tantalizing smells Stores often position the bakery or deli near the entrance so the first thing you smell and think of when you walk in is freshly baked sweets and rotisserie chicken.
Not definitive, so I 'm still looking

Shuffle – Many shops have a poilicy of regularly rotating the stock, this happens especially in supermarkets where people regularly shop for the same items. The idea obviously is to confront customers with a varitey of items aside from their regulars and encourage them to explore areas of the shop they may not usually visit. Or pi$$ them off!

definitely the latter boyd......
just as an aside......we (swmbo and hwo) decided, last year, to stop shopping at tescos, got a letter from them last month, inviting us to tell them why we didn't shop there anymore.....
oh the fun we had composing our reply....our complaints were many and varied, won't bore you with them....but the first one was..
You stopped offering free breadmaking yeast (yup, they did offer it free for many years, now they don't, tight fisted bu55ers)
last one on the list.....I just HATE sitting behind a tesco lorry at 40mph for mile after mile after mile, humungous line of traffic, might be ok dahn sarf where they have new fangled dual carriagways....but in rural England we don't, so tescos get all that bad publicity when all the motorists see is a tesco lorry holding them up for ages!
I feel this may be moved to the rant section....

No Steve, to the humour section, maybe
