    This is to let you know who Sebastian Claveau AKA Babas Sebas based in Martinique is, last year he made a large order from me and paid for the plants straight away, when I gave him the shipping bill he didn’t answer my mails for a long time, when he did answer he told me he had been ill and in hospital and that’s why he didn’t answer me then shortly after that he sent me a copy of a bank transfer slip that I now believe to be fake as I waited 6 weeks for the money to clear, I then contacted him again taking a long time to get an answer, when he answered he said that his bank will not release his money (why would any bank not give you your own money). I then started legal action against him and the money was paid. But I have a Thai friend here where I live that is now suffering exactly the same story. Is there any reason to take advantage of peoples trust people like Sebastian are what is making this world a unsafe place to do business please help us stop him and people like him. I know people in other countries that I he contacted to try to order plants from him while he was sick and could not reply to my friend it is a low act to use a fake sickness to steel money from some one.

    (btw andy, have a look at your URL in your signature -effective link, not the text-, there's something wrong in it) ;)

    I think that job is above my pay grade. It won't let me edit in your "information" tab on your profile. See if you cango in and edit the signature, you need to select the url text (as it is below) and then click on the link icon above (7th from the left) and insert the correct address.

    Glad that worked. I just took a good luck around your website and it is really well designed, great information and easy to use. There is only one thing that I think would make it a nicer experience. When I am in the orchid section and click on a genus, say Phalaenopsis, when I use the back button to return I land back at "Acampe" and have to scroll down again towards the bottom of the page I left.
