Some guidance before we convert from v3 to v5

Hi

Our site is near completion and going from v3 to v5 looks like the way to go before cutting the grand opening ribbon.
I would appreciate any your thoughts on the conversion and possible problems, suggestions etc.
The 4 menus we use are below in a some what brief form
The vertical menu on the home page needs those few popups
The horizontial menu on the home and statistics pages are the same except for the location and color
The photo menu is on the left side of each driver page, there are approx 50 of these.

Thanks
Don Miller

Don't see anything in there right offhand that looks like a problem. You could probably run it through the converter with no errors.

When moving to v5, don't forget to license it, and also leave the copyright notices in place in the code.
