On my screen, the bottom of the search box appears to have fallen off!
The lowest word is 'Keywords', but I see nowhere to put them, no button to coninue and no down arrow to bring them into view.
Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly? (I'm new to Whoopy - only registered about 20 minutes ago)
I did install the updated Flash software.

Hi Fogmatic,
I think it is your screen resolution, are you using a resolution lower then 800 x 600 pixels, or is your browser window smaller then fulll screen.?
If not then let me know about your operating system and browser (windows / mac, explorer, mozilla)?
take care

Thanks joris, but my screen res. is 800x600, and my browser window full screen.
On some websites, such as this one, I have to scroll horizontally a little to see the full screen, but I don't think I've come across a web page before that I couldn't scroll down enough.
The search tips box looks complete (with green line across the bottom), and its own scroll arrow works. I can also see the copyright symbol, and links, below it. But, with my browser's down arrow at the bottom, the search form stops abruptly just below the word 'keywords', with no deliberate-looking line at the bottom - the pale green background just becomes a white space.
I use Win98SE and Internet Explorer 6, and updated the Flash software as the site suggested.
Can other people use the search box without any problem?

Hi Fogmatic
To my knowledge not many people experience this problem.
I will ask our technical man but he will be back on Monday.
Maybe it is Windows 98 SE which causes the problem.
Below keywords you should see two radio buttons called ‘rating’ and ‘views’ and below that the submit button.
We are working on it please have some patience
Joris

Thanks Joris.
It's the first web page that's appeared to me like this, so it didn't feel likely to be a Windows/browser setting. But if you can see the submit button etc, I guess it must be.
Sorry if I came over as impatient - I certainly don't feel it! I'm very impressed by your fast responses, especially on a site done for love, not money. I think you're doing a great service, and if my problem turned out to be a flaw in the site, it would be a pity if it caused any potential participants to give up on it.
Meanwhile, I'll check my settings over the weekend.

Yes, it was my browser's fault - please accept my apologies if you people have wasted time checking for errors.
I had problems with Internet Explorer, and couldn't open it or Outlook Express, so installed Forefox and Thunderbird. IE and OE are now reinstalled ok, but only as standbys - I prefer Firefox.
Then I couldn't find this section of Whoopy again, until just now. Firefox can see the whole search section properly.
I didn't know before about page rendering issues, and the different strengths and weaknesses between browsers.
Now that I've searched and viewed some photos here, I can see their very high quality for myself. I'm not so sure now that any photos of mine are worthy of their company!
My 'kit', so far, has consisted of cheap, 35mm film cameras, though I've upgraded to about the cheapest but one, which is at least able to zoom a bit. But I'm hoping that an artistic eye might help to make up for it - being an artist, I seem to notice some things that not everyone does. I have a few favourite photos that might be sharp enough to be worth scanning and submitting.
Meanwhile, I'll keep on enjoying the wonderful photos on this site!
