Neat tests - especially since I deal with clients and forum members on boards I moderate (I am the techie mod for several web forums) reading their HJT logs, and kicking the buns of spyware on their system, LOL!

Anyway, I really see no real issues here... I would however, add some bottom to the page... maybe a duplicate of the line/bar you have at the top under the logo, with maybe a copyright or some contact information.

Other then that, cool site.

Don't use IE any more, it got 35, on it's own, I think I'll use Firefox or NN from now on.......

Nope, IE, without patches, or firewalls

well for anyone who does use IE then i would suggest getting the toolbar from
http://toolbar.google.com/

or preferably getting a 'proper' browser like mozilla or firefox (www.mozilla.org)
but of course you're free to use whatever you want ;)

About browsers, FireFox 0.8 renders CSS best. For web developers.

If you're building a website, do it for FireFox, test it in Netscape 4.8 then add any tweaks that make it render correctly on Internet Explorer 6. This has been repeated several times at forums.webdeveloper.com.

Bamse

This is a great place to get ideas and I appreciate all the feedback!

Lori: Thanks for the suggestion; I will add that information to the bottom of the page.

Dave: Thanks for the information on firefox, I will add that to the list.

Thank you.

PopupCheck.com provides the most complete way for you to test your popup blocking software. One of the most annoying tricks is a software vendor who lures you into similar tests designed to fail your pop up blocker. They then suggest a product that will pass their test without revealing that they actually profit from the software. An example of this unblockable popup is included in the miscellaneous tests
Remember to write for the masses. Don't assume that everybody knows what you are talking about. This paragraph looks like it was written for web designers and network administrators. There are many people out there who don't even know what a popup is! You might want to start out by explaining that and some of the behaviours of popups, and some of the dangers.

BTW, nice clean site...
