I put this site together for a friend.
http://www.blowfishphotography.co.uk/ using CMSMS. I must say i am impresssed with the core functionality and have found the forum to be a very useful resource helping me deal with issues that have cropped up along the way. Still a couple of things to sort - some pages don't validate the CSS because of Thickbox and one page doesn't validate XHTML because of a JS error. Keep up the good work - a great product.

Thanks for your response Andy. The home page was the site owner's request, not my idea i might add. The back button action is i presume caused by the Album style sheet. I still have a few issues with the stylesheets so i will investigate the back button as well.
Thanks again
Doug

the back button thing is because the popped up image is overlaying the album page and not a diff. page, if the background color was lighter you would see the other images behind it, not behind the img. but the rest of the background, the blowfish as home page is a little diff... when you hit the Home in the menu you think you are going to a page with content not the intro page, you might want to suggest they have a home page and name it home and leave the blowfish as index.php and not shown in the menu but active... do they really want to send visitors back to that img. to have to clik it to get back to the content? it might be a WTF? furgetaboutit moment... did anyone notice the thumbs look kinda squished? they must be set both width and height wise to make them all the same size for uniformity in the rows/columns :.

Hi.
Excellent design work, very neat. I would have to agree with the other comments about the index page, a bit annoying.
Which menu did you use, it looks very neat?
Regards.
Mike.

Thanks to both Mark and Mike for your comments. About the 'Home' page; i will feedback to the site owner and hopefully get agreement to change it as suggested.
Mark
The thumbs do have a set width and height, I couldn't find a way to avoid the squished look. What it needs is something in Image Manager like the facility in Faststone Image Resizer to create square thumbs from portrait or landscape images.
Mike
The menu I used is the Layout Bulletmenu Vert 1C with tweaked CSS files.
