About a month ago I asked this forum to review my site.

Based upon what was said, I decided to completely start from scratch. (not that u said it was bad just this design is now better I hope)

Any anyone give me a little feedback on this new design?

I thought that the flash intro was kind of pointless. Since your site is hoping to attract regular visitors, having a splash page is probably more of an annoyance for your target audience than anything else. I thought that it was taking too long to get into the site.

The main design looks really nice though. It does take a little bit of time to load though. The only thing you might want to try is getting rid of some of the white lines.

On the navbar, you should try to keep things all on one line. Some of them, like "See our current members info" could easily be shortened to fit (just put "Member Info" instead)

Oooh! Idea! Instead of the blue background behind the main logo, just try putting it on a grey textured background (the stone-like texture that's right beside the blue part where those caution banners are). I hope that makes sense!

Hey thanks for ure opinion. Sorry I Have not replied sooner but the phone company had some difficulty with the lines recently and I could not connect.

Most Clan Sites have an Intro so it will stay although a more 'fancy' one will be made. As a compromise I will add a check box to tick if u never wish to view the intro again.

A couple of white lines will be going. Looking at it there is far too many but while designing I dont see these things LOL.

The load time should be improved by 33% shortly with better compression.

And Ill see about the title blue area too.

Thanks Very Much for the advice.

Andrew.
