Allen, I guess I am not understanding 'hoops'. I certianly want to make the site as intuitive as possible. What are you suggesting as far as navigation?
Ahh I understand now!! there is a DHTML welcome and News flash page. If you look at the source code on it you will see there is a type-o. The link at the top correctly points to *.cgi, but the 'skip intro' link near the bottom points to the old site still. I was made aware of that today. What I need ia a good portal system like WebApp, that works on a win2k server. I like the look and feel, but havent bothered to learn shtml yet.
BTW everyone is exteamly happy with the suggestions you guys have made. thanks
