Oops that's a new graphic I made but forgot to copy over. It's on my
computer at home - I'll get to it tonight.

Good point. I never really liked the idea of using colours anyway (because
I don't like relying on colour for functionalilty and in case user
stylesheets ever get implemented on deo). I've put them back to black for
now. If anyone can think of another way of highlighting the required
fields without using colours let me know.

Done and done.

Done.

Done.

Excellent thanks.

Sounds good. Have you got any ideas on that? Perhaps a small box in the
sidebar with a link and a brief description? Exciting text is not really
my thing I'm afraid - if you come up with the copy I'll add it!

Thanks for all the feedback,
