• what's the difference between titles in center column and "Recent Threads"
• why have the "What's Going On?" table at the top? Do you really think that your readers/members are interested in these stats? Everday?
• why is your "What's Going On?" table breaking out of the layout? (view attachment --without looking my bet is that you have "nowrap")

I notice multiple font sizes on your portal page. Normally, this is not an issue but, you are using different font sizes on your content. eg. center content vs. birthday content vs. post content

What this does is it confuses the reader. (eg. The bigger the font size the more important the text -- So, why does your center content has the smallest font size?)
It also makes it hard to 'scan' the page for something specific.

• The login in the header is what's normally included with vB & the other login comes default with vBACMPS.
• The width difference is caused by the news posts. Some of them are retrieved via RSS from a SOCOM blog. As they're HTML, sometimes they mess with the page alignment.
• There's no bug in the calendar, it's showing the rest of September at the top & then continuing with October.
• Threads in the Center Column are News Posts and "Recent Threads" are threads most recently replied to in the forum.
• We've already had this argument about the WGO box... we want it like that.
• I don't see it breaking the layout when I view it. (See Attached)
• As for the multiple font sizes, I cannot get the Birthday font to change. There's no template for it... just birthday.php, and I've tried (to no avail) to get it to be identical with the others. The font sizes on my Center Content are identical to those of the Post Content, aside from some of them being bolded and perhaps the next font size up since they're titles. (Assuming I understand what you mean by Post Content and Center Content)
