The language selection buttons on the INFO section of the website are not visible with my screen resolution (1024x768) until I scroll down.

Since this portal is targeting international community, the Polish/English language selection buttons would ideally be placed somewhere at the top of the screen.

Thanks for the suggestion Cyklop. For being honest - I noticed it, but did no changes. I will propably move it little higher, make it depend on users resolution or use only flag images somewhere high.

So maybe default language should be English?

The first idea was to create site only in english language, but I thought that polish would be greatly appreciated on site which is on polish domain, however I decided that english language would be default like RaindogPL suggested.

There will be some problems with moving the language icons somewhere higher, because of the layout of whole site. I would propably put on a greeting site a notice that if you look for a polish/english version just scroll down for a buttons. Hope it'll work.

I also noticed while experiencing with many browsers that at 1024x768 buttons are visible at Safari and 'pure' Opera with no additional toolbars used. That's how my native resolution [1280x1024] affected the layout of the site, however I was continuosly checking it @ pc with 1024x768 res. I just oversighted the problem.

Thanks for suggestions.

First of all sorry for my english, but currently I have very rare opportunity to use this language. I'm just curried why the forum's language is eglish and only english? Isn't bigger problem for polish people then advantage for forreigners? I know that this is my first post here, probably wrong "possitioned" in forum's structure. I ensure all of You that I don't intend to start anything as rebel or revolution. But please explain me the reasons.

DangerousWaters.PL community tries to be reachable easily by players around the world. English language is very popular, and that's the main reason. Main site is reachable in both polish and english, but it's impossible to communicate at forum in polish, because we got players from many different countries. I'd say that only about 10% of players speak polish.

If you want to ask something on forum - don't be afraid to do it in polish, we will respond to any question.

Z pozdrowieniami,
Bartek.
