Hey it's looks really good.

Like the layout it's crisp and clean looking and easy on the eyes.
I especially like the buttons that you created, they blend in great with the overall design of the board.

The only thing that throws me off (and this is because I am used to working with forums) is that the home button takes you back to the index page of your site not the main page of the forum. However besides that I would give you a rating of 9.5 out of ten.

Good job, now go and get some rest.

You have a JavaScript error on your main page, something to do with the mouseOver's.

Your body tag:

onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/pk_navbar_08a.gif','images/pk_navbar_09a.gif','images/pk_navbar_10a.gif','images/pk_navbar_11a.gif','images/pk_navbar_12a.gif','images/pk_navbar_13a.gif','images/pk_navbar_14a.gif','images/pk_navbar_15a.gif','images/pk_navbar_16a.gif','images/pk_navbar_17a.gif','images/pk_navbar_07a.gif')">

Looks really cool, but is your logo image supposed to have that 'fuzzy' bar going across it on the bottom? That's the only thing I saw that didn't look great, otherwise good job!

fuzzy bar? what fuzzy bar are you talking about? hrmmm...

I viewed the html source of the page and saw thisfunction openquote(){
var popurl="quote.php?action=add"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=700,height=525,")
}

Somewhere in your templates you have a popup window incorrectly configured.

Is there a quote.php template that you have hacked into the forum?

yes i have a quote hack added into my system, but how can i fix this??

this is how my headerinclude template looks like:

{
attrbts = size + ",resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories= no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes"

}
//-->

<style type="text/css">

#ltlink A:hover {

</style>

<script>

function openquote(){
var popurl="quote.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=add"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=700,height=525,")
}

</script>

$headnewpm

thats where the string is in.... is this correct?

After looking, I think Firefly is correct.
I am no expert so any advice I give may or may not be correct (see my disclaimer ;) )

I think if you delete that line it should work okay and here is the reason

from the Dreamweaver help files

The Swap Image action automatically preloads all highlight images when you select the Preload Images option in the Swap Image dialog box, so you do not need to manually add Preload Images when using Swap Image.

Did you do the rollovers and then add a preload statement?

what i did was loaded the html into dreamweaver, and then i applied behaviours -> swapimage to each button, then saved the html, and copy the code into my header....

The fuzzy line is gone now, but the image is too far to the right now, making it not line up.

because of the URL=

http://dunz.ath.cx <~~ most FTP servers used this service [DYNDNS] for easy redirection

and the site is on port 7000, too

:confused: :confused:

You know it is posible to run and FTP Server and a Webserver on the same host!

Why not? its compleatly safe doing this provided you set it up correctly. How do you think you upload files to your host? They have and FTP and Webserver running on the same machine.

yes, i know. but if you host your site on your PC, then why would you want to give out your IP ? once the hackers get that, then it's easy from there to get whatever they need from you :eek::eek::eek:
NTLDR

So why is it safe for webproviders to do that?

The answer is you secure you PC so that the hackers can't get into it, it you don't know how to secure your computer from hackers you shouldn't be running any public IP services on your machine.

I agree you do have a point there and I see what you were trying to say, but even connecting to the intenet is taking a risk :D
