We are making some changes to the web site. It has grown to a point that navagation has gotten difficult to place. Please spend a moment and get to know the menu on the top of the page. This is where most links exist and the menu changes when you view and artwork to provide new "actions" for you. You will need a browser with javascript support to use the site now. This has been an industry standard for over 6 years now.

If you experience problems with the site, please let us know. There may be few minute outages rarely while things are getting fixed.

As always, we do this for you. Just a few growing pains.

This Site Map is the same menu in another form.

There is an "Add Art" button in the pull-down under the WELCOME in the header.

yeah, took me a while to figure out that a lot of the buttons moved to the dropdown. The version of Mozilla I use at work (which can't be more than a year old) has a clear background for those dropdown boxes, so the text overlaps itself in some cases when there's something behind it. The version I have at home is older, but it looks fine.

This sounds like your browser is cacheing the style sheet for the page. Hit the reload button while holding down the shift key.

i am not retarded...just a fan of SAFARI

like the other guy said...
ONLY THE FORUM link (no drop down, just link) works... and the logo in the upper left.

and on InternetExplorer (on mac), it completely looks like shite, all the menus
are spread across, (you have to scroll left to right to see everything) and it froze the brower too..

i know there is a free Safari Web Enhancer, but
havent had a chance to find it yet..maybe that would help...

the only thing that works in safari is the link to FORUM. the dropdowns do not function whatsoever.

I was wondering about that!!!

on IE, the "Welcome" "My Stuff" "EB Team" and "Help" dropdowns have transparent areas through which one can see the text below, makes reading the drop-downs tough. the other dropdowns seem to have solid backgrounds and are fine.

hope this helps!
