okay, i just shut it off (Top_Referers), thanks for that observation, i would hate to get a bunch of those spaming site's hitting on me......hehehehe

I think you need to lower the number of queries on that page.

I have noticed that too, but am not sure what to shut down to lower the queries....do you have any suggestion's on this?

The portal page doesn't fit on my resolution (1280x1024). I ahve to scroll right to see the right column

not sure how to fix that. I have it set up for 1024, but have often wondered how it affect's those with 800 or those running a greater resolution......

Only show maybe 5 to 10 active topics on portal

k, i cut that back to 10.....

Reorder the portal modules in some sort of order: stats on bottom right, gallery images top right, etc

That is a great observation.....one reason i had the stat's about midway down was to try to force people to see the Current new's....but i am still having issue's with getting the new's article's read.....I will redo the order's though, thanks....

Sorry if I'm being hard on you, but I am a big mustang fan and I won't let a stang site down

don't be sorry, i really appreciate the help on this......I want my vb site to be awesome and something people find enjoyable......with out comment's on the page's, it's hard to know what to fix......I can only assume that people like it the way it is, cause my member's don't offer alot of suggestion's on the page set up's.....that's why i love coming over here for this stuff......

I really appreciate all of the comment's and i will honestly try to make these change's so my site is more enjoyable.......thanks, doug

k, i made alot of the changes that were suggested.....let me know if that is better.

And i just can't find where to do this:

Remove the black empty space top and bottom on the portal banner
