Mike, I just have to tell you.... You Rock! You do some awesome work.... I have a lot of admiration for your work!
I've been checking out all your stuff on your site and you got it going on.
OK, you can put some ice on that, now swollen head, I'm done.

[Michaelo]

thanks much appreciated.... the hardest bit is keeping up the enthusiasm... Comments like these keep me going...

After a few of the beta team at my site test the beta I will update the SVN... As I said above if all goes well I will release public beta soon...
P.S. Love the snap-shoot mod... is there a thread ?

Killer ani ! Beats anything nice that I can say about the Kiss Portal. However, I reckon it is "ab fab" and a bit more.
I will certainly will be using it. Grrrreat

[MikeR]

Is this portal compatable with subSilver2 ??

[Michaelo]

Yes!
SubSilver2 would need a few edits to make it look nicer. I had almost twenty themes but over time I did not update all of them... maybe later.
I will check the SubSilver2 theme and make a few cosmetic changes when I get a little time...

Update: Edits Done
