Looks pretty good! Is it just me or does the text in the logo look a tad bit crooked? Maybe it 's that curve underneath that's throwing things off.

You might want to provide people with the option of narrowing their search by location, or sorting tables by location for some of the categories (particularly the Vehicles, Employment, and Personals sections). It would also be nice to have a breadcrumb trail set of links at the top so people don't have to hit "back" to get back to the category index.

Oh, and I keep getting a server timeout error even though everything seemes to have loaded properly .... weird.

I noticed that you do have some Canadian ads on there - are ads allowed from all over the world? People might like to know that. Also, are all prices in US dollars or can people from other countries post prices in their own currency?

Welcome to TWF, TIm. I hope you'll decide to continue participating in the Forums. Good luck with your site!

I like the design of the site overall.

One thing that I think could be changed though, is the alignment on the home page. it looks great at a resolution of 800 * 600, and 1024 * 768, but anything larger than that the "Great Deals" and "Feedback" sections on the right are aligned to the right. Everything else is to the left. The result is a very large white space b/w the different sections and the two sections on the right. This is hen I viewed the page in MSIE. It looks fine in Netscape.

The image right above the "Feedback" section didn't load. The image at the top of the "Help" page didn't load either.

Other than that, the site is great. I like the colors scheme. Hope this helps.

Welcome to TWF tmax,

I like the look of the site but agree with Megan about getting back to the category you were previously at.

The logo text does look wonky but it is actually straight. Yes I did get a ruler out to check! Wink

I also agree with everything rivimont said, BIG white space between categories and Great Deals/Feedback.

I hope you stick around and offer your opinions on others sites please now that you have shown us yours.
