This is my main site: http://www.bodybuildingextreme.com/vb/index.php?s=

What do you recommend I do to spice it up some or make it look more professional? Any help is appreciated. :)

Just to let you know the alt for finafarm.com reads "Anabolic Supply". I don't think they'd like that. :)

The main page is good put I don't like a few things:

-The size 3 Forum name.
-Where the shoutbox is. The white background at the bottom is supposed to be the gap between each category but you have an extra line in between the first category.

But I really like the images. :)

Hi,

I'm not following what you mean by "size 3 forum name" and "the extra line"? Also, what do you propose be done with the shoutbox to better it?

Thanks,
Shawn

As in the Forum names being 2 sizes bigger then the description text.

And you should put the shoutbox below, where the Who's Online is.

IMO.

I was wondering how you got that image. There's a new image there now and apparantly, when you are not logged in it drew from the default style even though its set to not selectable. Should be better now. :)

Much better.

But you have ALOT of images on your main page. It increases the load alot.

ohh

Are you on dial up? If so, how long does loading take?

Yes I am on dial-up. It's not a slow dial-up either. I live close to the ISP servers.

It takes about 30-40 secs. Mainly takes a while because you have alot of gradients and the Sponsored By buttons are quite big too.

I am just wondering if you are aware that your website is:

1.) In violation of your host's TOSA (terms of service agreement)
2.) In violation of federal law.

The design is great but I dont understand why you feel the need to link to sites that manufacture or distribute ILLEGAL materials...

Hmm what kind of illegal materials are they distributing? And what connection does the forum have to them? (Directed to owner)

Lol, no offence, but you should really do your research first before you open your mouth. No sponsor at any time sells anything the least bit illegal by both United States and International Laws. Its called a marketing scheme, these companies which I have no affiliation with name their company things like AnabolicSupply, but that does not mean they supply anabolics. If you merely went to thier site, you would have noticed this. Moreover, my host knows exactly what the content of my site is, and at no time have I broke the TOS agreement. So once again, I implore you to do your research before making accusations.

If it was not illegal, why did you remove the ads?:rolleyes:
And it is everyone's business to keep the internet clean imo...
Federal regulations do not exclude your site just because you did not specifically ask for us to look at the content of the site.

Just my 2 cents..

Cause payment was due, and ya know what, once payment is received, they are going right back up. Im not going to argue with you. If you feel better about yourself being a hall monitor then "you go boy":rolleyes:

Peace.
