It displaces the page too much - You need to sort out your table widths...

Some of that "Statistics" stuff needs to be padded out on new lines or in new tables...

I'm not a huge fan of styles with the forum categories separated with graphic category heads. It's highly overdone because all the style "artists" use the same basic template with the only difference being the photoshop effects they throw into those category images.

Wow, that is a very slow loading forum. Either too many queries or way too many images, but it loads like a snail on my 512k connection.

Probably should fix the forumhome table alignments, they're all over the place.

Plus your header is only half the size of your table. You need to extend it to the width of the actual forum.

What resolution are you using? It's probably the reason why you can't see it. Increase your resolution and you'll see.

1)__ the problem is viewable in IE
2)__ the problem is invalid code
3)__ you are missing the <head></head> tags
4)__ remove all deprecated tags ie. <center>, <font>, etc
5)__ all elements must be closed eg. <img />
6)__ replace 'nowrap' with it's CSS equivalent
7)__ replace all instances of & with &amp; (usually in URLs)
8)__ check for nesting errors eg. you have <b><font>{text}</b></font>

oh yea, look for </tr<tr>

That is only one of the fixes required - You will need to find the other problems and fix them :)

You use code validation tools to find the html errors.

You'll probably need to look through your forumhome and header templates first.
