Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It's working for me. Looks pretty good, just one thing I noticed was the size of the images. The main header image is over 450k, which alone will take over 9 seconds on a 56k. Try reducing the size of the photos to the size it shows up on the page (it will help the size), and also you might try to save the images at a lower quality (if using paintshop choose "save for web", the program you're using should have a similiar option). Also, the links on the bottom of the front page and under the bottom two geckos on the available page don't work.
I do like the overall layout and color scheme, and the photos all look good (except for the file size). Looks like a nice start.

i never considered the file size. ill work that out next.
i also seem to have a problem with the actual page sizes and the way they fit (some pages are way longer than they need.)

For web images just make sure they are the same size that they will be displayed, and usually you'll save them as a JPEG at about 60-80% quality and they'll be fine for the web. I usually do 70% for most web images with good results.
