Neat!

It didn't work for me though. And are the Usernames actually something we have to register with or just names we make on the spot?

You should be able to put in a username and it logs you in (make it up on the spot). I just did that and it worked for me.

The problem im having on the site is that it seems to overwhelm some computers im at. when I click on the welcome page pic it loads and loads and never seems to finish. My computer with DSL at home can handle it, but my folk's high speed dial up cant, and some comuters at work. I wonder if there is just to much in terms of graphic pixels, or the forum window? Although I dont have a problem with it personally I am concerned that those with dial up cant access our site.

I've been saying that since the first page I made on that site. I've always kept the dial-up users in mind.
Hence the site being broken up the way it is and keeping every graphic compressed and lower resolution.
I can strip the site even more, it will take time and I'd need feedback. I can remove some of the imbedded windows from on the site, that would help as would turning off audio and page transitions.

The page transitions and sounds would probably help, and maybe you could embed the forum in a separate page, so people with dialup could avoid bogging down their computers with twi websites at once...

That is one of the things slowing down the page loads. I took it off the enterance and main page only.

I can put them back if needed.

Wook, Brian is the sculpter guy Dustin found many many moons ago here in town, and has since been considered by Dustin, Chris and myself to be family.

If you need to contact him, call me up for his number.

(hope this is the Brian you were talking about..)

Otherwise the only other Brian I know is the wrangler extraordinarre from Sierra Vista, who is the partner in crime to Tina(Revan)

Frankie, I know who B-R-I-A-N is. My question was, "Who is B-R-A-I-N ?", as in "Pinky and the Brain". It was a humorous attempt to point out an apparent misspelling of his name.

As they say, it can't be too funny if you have to explain it...
