Have just launched a brand new front end look, and the site now has its own community section in the shape of a good old Snitz forum 
Website: http://www.dipex.org
main content: http://www.dipex.org/healthissues.asp
Forum: http://www.dipex.org/community
The site is now enterring its third year, and is now slowly starting to take shape, the number of healthissue modules is planned to be doubled within the next 12 months, most of these are currently being worked on.
If you find the site useful, or know of anyone else who might, please pass on the site address. |

oooh! pretty colors.
Only thing I'd change would be to use different colored folders to match your site. |

excellent policy text in policy.asp, it would also be worth mentioning the "referer issue" , because i couldnt get past that page. users may end up mailing the admin, or give up altogether if they dont know why they keep getting booted back to policy.asp

There shouldn't be any issues relating to referrer, since everyone who gets to the site will definately 100% certain have a referer. mainly because you are not connecting to the forum, you are being rerouted so everyone has the same referer. |

yes, the 'health content' part was written in delphi, and runs on a different server to the rest of the site.
The error should be gone, I was updating the full text catalogs, so the db was a bit swamped. |

it was impossible for me to display the forum registration page, because i am stuck in a loop.
If i click ACCEPT in the policy page, it momentarily redirects me to register.asp, but then almost immediately i am bounced back the policy page. Either my IE6 settings, or my Norton internet security 2003 settings are interferring somehow.
As you are no doubt aware , this issue has been discussed many times on this forum. |

| yes, and it is an issue with your Norton settings not the forum, which has also been stated many times before. |

Nice colours, but is it only made for 800*600? The forum contents are just aligning to the side.
I like the header though.

The only thing I don't like, and call me picky if you wish, is that the site's navigation changes into that of the forums when you go to the forums. So if you're on the forums, you can't go to the "Health Content" right away.
Also, on that "Health Content" page, the link to that page disappears from the top, while on other pages the link stays, be it as blue text. Just a bit confusing to me. |
