Its going to have to be above or below the search box - you need a nice little icon for that  |

To answer Dave's questions, Trebuchet is a Microsoft Web Font as they call it. Ie a font that they recommend designers use for the web, as it shows up very well. I don't think they distribute it alone anymore, but it comes with all versions of Windows AFAIK. So it would be a Windows-only font.  (shame because I love it). |

Is a very nice font for graphics, not so much for main text though, especially at small sizes. |

Yes, I tend to use it only at 12px and up. It's also very nice for titles, so, again, in big sizes . |

I have Trebuchet MS on Mac OS X and I'm pretty sure I didn't add it myself so I guess it came with the system. |

Need some idea again :
Product Indexes, this looks too dull
Ignore the fact it has the wrong title and the wrong graphic, I'm just thinking the general design is ****, any ideas on how to make it look a bit better?

I'm not too sure about the white-on-blue title thingy...perhaps inverting the colours would make it look better. |

Aargh! My backend just corrupted, now I've had to put the new site on early, I didn't have any of the frontpage done, I need a verdict on this :
http://www.freedom2support.net/
Bear in mind it's a 5 min quick job, don't worry about the broken links, I know about them, and I know about the search not working, I want opinions, comments and suggestions on how I can improve the design.
PS : If someone could make me a little forum icon to go in the top right of the page, I'll put you on the credits page |

What about a link to the home page? 
I'm also wondering why the links at the bottom of the page only appear there. Links at the bottom of a page should always be complimentary, and should not be a replacement. [Sorry if that's something which you're working on ] |

Yes, that's OK now. You going to make the arrow change then? 
One problem though: the "ADSL" cell above "Questions". It has a white background and only takes up 50% of the space. |

The Arrow had to be removed full stop as it made it go on to two lines in 800x600, been updated again now
As for the ADSL Cell, That's something I know about, it's a hangabout from the old version, it's an include from a FAQ Script:
