I assume everything loads fine on ya'lls pc?
I have dial up and the pics load pretty fast, didn't ever notice the scroll doesn't work unless the pic table is fully loaded. Not a thing you can check offline.
What resolution do you two run at? I use 800x600 so I designed for that, and it looks alright in 1024x768 but larger it fouls up the apperance. Being all the DIV tags are justified, I couldn't "center" the page.
so...thanks
as for what I used to do it:
Notepad
Photoshop (of course)
The BIG JAVA script is borrowed.
leaned it with the help of Pagetutor.com. I dowladed there whole site a year or so ago, then just alot of "viewing source" online and trial and error.
