      You need to put some spaces in the alt text for your Site Highlights images. When I turn off images they all run into each other.

        Select "News" from the top bar. The "/news" page comes up with one story: from 2006. Also, "Technology News" box looks odd with only "The geeky bit"; it looks as though something is missing because the "CLICK HERE" is higher than on the other 6 boxes.

        Presumably the Contractor Alliance web site is next so that it will match?

        If you click on "Calculators", it pops up a sub-menu but it navigates to the calculator page before you can choose an option.

        Click on "Contractor Services Directory" and you get "Limited Company Guides" as a title. That's wrong.

        "Agency Directory" and "Contractor Services Directory" pull up the same "/directory" page, which is a bit odd. The latter should at least go to the agency sub-directory.

          May we ask what sort of spec it is, just out of professional interest?

          (Actually, no don't answer that. It'll just start a holy row on why it is the wrong spec. in every respect.)

          Anyway, you already know about IE6 issues so I'll spare you them.

          On the right, in the green-titled box "Advertisers" there are Payscheme, Opal and Looking for a job. They have no links.

          Under "Guides" there is a heading "Thank you" which probably shouldn't be there. Ditto "Missing Fields".

          Whatever came of the CUK iPhone application? It is referred to on "About CUK" and "Application Support".

          You have two 'application_support' pages. The one under 'about' is OK, the one under the main site has no title.

          As well as the forum there are a few other CUK sites to whack on there so this future proofs us quite nicely. Is a good machine with hot-swap drives and redundant power supply etc. Famous last words - I give it 24 hours before an outage

          Cheers for the feedback - my last job is to put the advertisers in so hope to get that done this evening.

          Cheers - these are old form thanks and missing field pages so will unpublish those.

          CUK iPhone app is waiting for this to be released and a forum core patch upgrade so should not be far off I hope!

          Thanks for taking the time to check it over so thoroughly!

              It ended up being a bit delayed by my heart attack

              Now I can test with the new site's news feeds and contract search, I'll get it finished ASAP

                    Nice. What about the database server?
