rankmylist.com, please critique

A work in progress, would like anyone who has a moment to please take a
look:

Current site is http://rankmylist.com/

Next version is http://rankmylist.com/testTabs/

The tables for layout will be replaced with CSS in the next iteration.

So far tested in IE6/7 and newest versions of Firefox and Opera, seems to
work fine.

Any comments, critiques, questions or suggestions on the html/css, layout or
mechanics of the page very welcome!

Visually it's very nice indeed, clean, easy to read, uncluttered.

As a concept I think it's bonkers. It's a website that tells you how much
you like things? Do you need to be told that? Don't you already know
that? Will there be a rush of people visiting to remember what they like
most?

Make a list of red, green, yellow, blue and click "apply". The first
time it asks, vote for either of the two colours (doesn't matter), now
repeatedly click "I can't decide" and look at the rankings. :-)

Choose one of the other colors after the above directions and click "I

can't decide" again.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things
and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil
things, that takes religion.

Haha, it never used to do that, will have to have a look, thanks.

A very good point.

An improvement in usefulness would be a way to save my list as, say,
http://rankmylist.com/my_film_list, and save my rankings as
http://rankmylist.com/my_film_list/toby. Then I could invite people to
visit http://rankmylist.com/my_film_list/ and rank the list too -- and
they could save it as http://rankmylist.com/my_film_list/dave or
http://rankmylist.com/my_film_list/bob.
http://rankmylist.com/my_film_list/ could display an overall set of
rankings.

Yes, that could be interesting.

Perhaps some indication of progress while clicking on options would be
of help. Or a far smaller example group than food. When do you stop or
win ;-)

Hi,
I didnt like the bit telling me what browser I should be using. Surely the
aim is to display correctly whatever browser is being used?

It does display correctly, just not as nicely. IE 6 and under are incapable
of displaying links with an alpha transparent background without some extra
work that I'm not willing to undertake. Point taken though.
