I agree with peterska2 in that your style is very appealing. I like the use of colors; no eye-fatigue factor here.

The colour scheme is nice, but I don't see why you're squishing your forum at that small width. I think you could make it a bit wider to reduce clutter.

You can probably do with a few less forums too. Under 15 is always good, so not much to cut.

Besides that, I gots nothing else to say.

I had some users that were still at 800x600 on my lasat site so I set it like that for them mostly. If I expand it, I have to get a new header. What do you suggest to expand it to?

I did remove so forums already. I'll see what I can do about tweaking some more.

And thank you, sir, for the feedback.

Yes and no, I guess. It's been tweaked so many times that it doesn't look anywhere near what it did when I first started out. I've had a lot of help along the way, so that is the no part.

Many (trend setting) web designers are opting to go with fixed widths for their layout (generally between 760px to 780px). Fixed widths are easier to read (less eye movement from left-to-right) and placements of buttons/links are closer to one another. Unless you have loads of information on a page you want filled on a screen without the need to scroll then I'd leave it as you have now.

The main table width is set at 777. I think, like you said, it is easeir to read and looks good the way it is. And I'm ready for those few and far between dinosaurs that are still using 800x600. Seriously, though, there are a lot of people that still use 800x600. When you get older, the ol' eyse ain't what they used to be.

Thank you, sir, for the feedback. )

Thoughts: small j on join, bold participate not browse, hide quotes box from unregistered, add child support forum, merge PAS and custody issues. Good job getting all those blues to mesh.
