This is a more general comment than anything, but I really hate the Comic Sans style everywhere...

The only complaint I have is the black backround on the monitor warning page. the small warning boxes would stand out more if they weren't the same color as the backround, and I think it would be easier to read.

I won't comment on spelling or grammar errors, not that I saw any, because mine sucks.

Too much space between "search" button and next section.  Tighten up some...didn't realize the rest was right down there :-[

Separate the "tip" box with one more carriage return on top and bottom to make it stand out - same with all the rest of the boxes

Maybe try yellow text in warning boxes, and the link kinda disappears with the blue color, make it contrast much more with the black background

The black background on that page doesn't fit with the rest of the site, unless the rest of the site will be changed over to that same black background

The "Caution" box is almost invisible since it's the same color.  Contrast it so it stands out, with perhaps a secondary color for a border too, and change text color there

The horizontal line elements REALLY clash with that page.  I don't know if a different color would look better, or a solid color instead.





I like the black page....it seems to feel easier on the eyes, especially with the grey text, but I dunno how the site would look if you unified it all like that.

I'm getting the feeling people don't like Comic Sans :)  What font do people prefer?
