Hi ALL,

I just finished up my forum at www.WWTalk.com.

I am going for a very simple and clean look. However, I have gotten some comments that the tables are out of whack with some viewers.

Everything looks fine from where I am but I need to know if anyone else is having problems viewing.

I have a suspicion that it could be my banner at the top throwing things off but I don't know why. It is phpadsnew and basically I don't know where to start to fix the problem since I can't see it.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,

BGray

The banner does make the page require horizontal scrolling at 800x600. Also you have way too many forums for just starting out.

The only thing like filburt said: You have so many forums, but only 14 members. Most of those forums will go to waste IMHO. My reccomendation is to carefully select which forums you need and delete the ones that you dont. Everything else is nice, and the colors blend well.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Once I get this problem fixed I plan on promoting the site pretty heavily.

Not to mention that I have given my users a lot of incentive to refer members with the value of the items I'm putting in my store.

I have thought quite a bit about the amount of forums I have and made the decision to start out with the number I have now.

It will make it a little rough at first but I hope to get them going quickly. I know that is easier said than done but I have only been running for 2 days now so hopefully I can accomplish my goal. If it is a problem I will scale down. We'll see!

Thanks for the comments!

You should always contract the forums as much as you can and then when you get this traffic expand. It's simple. Everyone plans out as being big but it doesn't always turn out that way.

Thanks again for the comments!

As stubborn as I am I have decided to take a little advice here. I have clipped out 7 forums. I know its still looks big but it was a big deal for me.

I am very serious about making this work so I think it was in the best interest of my forum.

Thanks,

BGray
