    Help me test before launch.

    I am days away from fully changing over my CMS to Joomla. Everything is now pretty much setup apart from the latest news which I will do over the next day or so.

    Can you take a look around the site and get back to me with any feedback or problems you find.

    Cheers for your help.

    Front end looks good - wont comment about the backend as I don't like Mambo

    (You may want to change the red on the news heading as it doesnt contrast enough though)

    I think that all the text in that black box is a bit hard to read. Also, on the front page, having two columns of text (presumably the latest two pieces of news) might make it hard for some people to read.

    Other than that, it looks very nice!

    Thanks for your feedback, the latest news story will always be at the top in most of it's form with a link to read more. The older news stories will only display a small amount of text with the user needing to click "Read More"

    I will look at changing the text in that box.

    The only thing i'm worried about is the main logo at the top.

    The logos fine - its just the black box (text or background) that needs to change to give greater contrast.

    Sorry Famished - its fine with the hover, but the standard text is a bit hard to read still.

    Looks good! The only tiny tiny issue that I've seen is that on an article, the PDF, Print and E-mail buttons don't line up (the Print is slightly higher than the other two). Otherwise, it looks fine!

    Edit: Sometimes the three buttons line up, sometimes they don't... doesn't seem to be any particular pattern. I'm using Firefox 1.0.7 if that helps.

    Thought I would drag up this old thread to let you know the site has had a massive makeover in the past month. Looking much better now and everything including the user system is working.

    Is there anything I should change to make it better?
