Review & Suggestions?

Hi!
Any suggestions, would be appreciated.

Trying to take some things that I have learned here at .org and this is my final result.

Thank you,

The footer on the front page is off to the left but on the forums it Im guessing looks like it should, centered.

btw Im using firefox 3 with 1024x768 resolution.

Not sure what I can do to make it firefox compatible.

It looks great in IE7 and also on my Mac & Safari.

Might be a Firefox adjustment.

Nice style, but looks incredibly messy in Firefox 3, since for no real known reason a horizontal scroll bar appears at the bottom of the page. Forum page wise, it looks quite impressive but extremely empty. There's not much content, because half the forums are completely devoid of posts (tip 1: always post in every forum before forum launch, and add forums when needed). You need to either cut down the forum count drastically, or fill each forum with at least two topics for it to look more inviting to members. I like the smilies and stuff, but to me, the forum looks a bit empty, a bit uninviting because of the lack of posts and a bit generic because there isn't much different from a default vBulletin installation in terms of features.

So, in summary:

Good:

1. Forum style looks great, once the scroll bar thing is fixed.
2. Nice selection of smilies and icons, images look good.
3. vB Advanced used pretty well
4. Domain name is good.

Bad:

1. Horizontal scrollbar kills the style in Firefox.
2. Too many forums, too many of them empty.
3. Needs more unique features as a hook for possible future members.

Thanks!
I am not sure on the Horizontal bar, where it is, or exactly how to fix this for Firefox.

Is this only happening on the Vb advanced homepage or on the Forums page as well?

Thanks again,
Jill

Both, and it might be the forum footer being too long compared to that on the portal page...

I am lost here, I just downloaded installed firefox and the homepage and forums look fine. The same as in Safari and IE7.

Two PC Desktops and a Mac notebook and I cannot see a horizontal scroll bar at the footer.

I am using 1400-1900 resolution with all my machines.

What to do.................

Provide a screen shot of this Horizontal Scrollbar. Maybe myself or someone else can aid in helping you adjust your browser.....

I'll get an image, although my browser doesn't really need adjusting.

See the problem there?

Something must be up with your Firefox installation or Video card.
Firefox, Safari, and IE7 all look fine on my end.
What we may be seeing here is a graphics card & resolution not set up correctly for firefox.

Looks liked you ripped a background of freewebs..
