Tables for website design is depricated, you need to get modernized with CSS.

I second that. Tables are slow nowadays. Yes, my little website still uses tables because I have never bothered to learn enough CSS stuff... :)
Anyways, saint how is this stuff going? Any headway? You seriously need to recruit a handful of BYOAC members who are webdesign savy to help you out.

I'd be willing to help out where possible, though I may be slightly limited these days. I could do some grunt work, though. Here are a list of ideas and "dittos" in no particular oder:
I like the concept of a rotating "cab of the day" kind of thing. Color coding sections by their equivalent button color at the left is also a good idea. The log-style pages are difficult to sort through to find what you're looking for, and breaking them down into seperate pages either by a "Next>" sort of hyperlink or just good submenuing would be preferable. Obviously most broken links will be found in the migration, but there are plenty of them out there right now. A good search engine is a good idea. I love the WAP idea as I'm always using my phone for web surfing. That's easy enough, though.
My biggest suggesstion is to put more emphasis on the examples and submissions section.

What exactly does 'slow' mean in this context? Slow to draw?
Although there's nothing wrong with CSS, there's also nothing wrong with tables. Older code or no, it works just fine for a simple application.
SirPoonga:
Advantage od CSS (over tables)
1) CSS minimizes server space and bandwidth. You don't have to have repeat code in all your html pages.
2) Much more control of design than tables. Like you could put text over an image as an example.
Many other reasons.
For something simple, yeah. But tables are depricated now. So browser designers are going to get away from displaying tables the same per browser. They don't display the same now. But with CSS they should.
I am going to be converting controls.dat site to CSS sometime :)
