Hey Vig you beat me to it. The problem with framesets is that they are hard to bookmark and spiders can't get to them. Just make a table for your site.

And if I understood our coders correctly, using vertex alpha is more expensive than vertex…
The warnings can be desactivated in windows 7. It's similar to xp to me, i'm kinda happy with it. Btw, max has crashed (as usual) and i think i hit "repair" or smthing. Then max was totally unstable, crashing every 20 sec, weird graphic bugs. I coudn't do anything. I had to reinstall windows 7 because reinstalling max…
