Tester archive: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/toys/002/sas/index.html

The index list hasn't been replaced yet, but the individual pages have. Still unsure about the layout, any feedback would be appreciated.

much prefer it to the old archive as there isnt as much "am I scrolling the page or pictures" mess and it looks a lot tidier...

only thing that looks a little odd - can the column of text be wider? then maybe fit the bios in on the left too?

Only if I shrink the image width - I'm allowing a 20% column gap on either side for advertising and navigation.

You're right, though. It's a little too narrow, some lines only have two words on them.

OK, I've adjusted the text column width by 5%.

I've now uploaded the wave 1 archives, again as a tester: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/toys/001/index.html

Forgot to say I have enabled the right-click option for the images.

my one complaint so far is that you neglected to capitalise 'US' in Blades' entry making it look like 'us'.

but that's minor, I know.

Oops, couple of typos still. I'm having to convert everything from CAPS. Anything like that please LMK.

It's F11 to remove browser borders, Squad Leader, but that will only work on the comics galleries as the toy galleries are set to a fixed width.

But, I have enabled the right-click option to view each image in a new window.
