<b>Message: </b>I've just tried to correct the problems of colours on these guestbook pages, but due to the way my PC has cached the pages, I couldn't get it to display incorrectly :/
I think i have solved it anyway. Could someone who was experiencing colour display problems before please email me saying if it's better now?
Thanks a lot,

As Nik said, let us both know how you find the site....good OR bad, please, it's a site to help you 🙂
I am going to work on improving the features of the board. Mainly, getting the line separating the links and the "main content" to expand depending on the number of posts in the guestbook. I will also try and add some more features in. Keep posting people 🙂. Ed

I advise anyone looking for a boat to keep their horizons broad and use as many sites and agencies as possible. Use the links opposite to make more contacts.
Good luck and fair winds!
