Re: FLASH: BP: OT Please - not frames!

[Ivo Gersdorff]

Hi Ben,


it's easier for the users to get a easy site. No frames (in germany they switch

it of to show frames), no biger size than 800 x 600 (most of the users take

this). The main thing is to have a good looking site, on your site I see

everything I need to know about what there is in this club.

If you need to change anything, than maybe to resize the thing to 800 x 600.

No one need to get everything what the market gives.

For me it's ok the way it is (...my 2 Cents)
