h2g2 Web Site Testing Group

Do you have an external site? Would you like to have it tested by other h2g2 researchers to see if it looks good, if all the links and pop-out menues and other gadgets work in all browsers and all resolutions?

Then you've come to the right place! Start a conversation below titled something like: 'Testing: Titania's photo site' (and that's just an example - don't post Titania's photo site unless your h2g2 researcher name is Titania, and unless you have a photo site!silly ).

Please note that this entry is intended to be a forum only for web site testing and only web site testing!.
For other queries, please check the 'Links' sections.

This is early days yet, so I haven't finished thinking yet - I was thinking that maybe we could offer to check h2g2 entries as well? I have noticed that some user pages don't look good in all skins - and some researchers can't check their user page in various skins (Digibox users among others, I think).

Anyway, to get this thing started...
