Not entirely sure why a laptop would be the cause. Its the same OS. I think I've found why it happens, but I need to run some tests.

Well, I will admit to not being 100% certain of it being this site... but I am 100% certain of the black background, and the HDR images coming up.

EDIT: Just went to wifes PC to see if it was in the history folder, and bingo it was. Your image came up on this site;

http://www.vanilladays.com/hdr-guide/

When I entered HDR Pictures into google.co.uk search.

:D Didn't think it was this new one. I'm not entirely sure I even mention HDR on it at all. But the other one is my photoblog and hdr guide.

Oh :( I love these sort of bugs.
 
Thanks. From what I've read in the forums about lightwindow, its an IE bug. Annoying that its only affecting some users.
 
Here are a few small things that might be good to change :)
- Make the page title at least explain what the page is about!
- Maybe inject a bit of colour on the link hover states? It would be good to have hover states on the images (maybe a border)
- You need h1 tags
- Put titles on all the links

That will do for now, and i'm sure you're quite aware of all of those!

Thats impressive. Odd that I never found it while researching for a lightbox thing.

This website is quite handy for getting a quick look at how your site looks in different browsers:-

Aye tis a good site, but I need to know what happens when someone clicks on an image. Thankfully I have an Intel Mac. I can run Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE6, IE7 etc. Been out all day so I'll get to work in a bit.
 
Bah :p What do you normally call that thing? Its technical term is a desktop, hence people calling them desktops. Desktop wallpaper.

Clipped letters (as mentioned)

Ok. I've fixed the issue with IE7 and the lightbox not opening right. If some people could double check that its ok? Still not sure on the clipping issue.
 
Hmm. When I looked at the site initially then I think it was using some sort of lightbox derivative. You clicked on a picture and it opened as an overlay on the existing page. Now when I click on an image I get it opening with nothing other than the image. That is to say it is a blank page with the image and I have to click the browsers 'back' button to get back to the main site.

If you are going to stick with that then I recommend you add a couple of links back to the main site within each photos page.
 
I haven't touched it in the past few hours. I can only assume the javascript didn't load.
 
Looks great and works great, nice design, classy, great pics, can't find any typos, I think it's done Pete. Nice one.
