Hi,

It doesn't load for me at all.

I am using mozilla.

First thoughts....
- Looks nice
- too light
- just alittle too much spaceing

after looking over it....
- drop shadow doesnt look right on both sides of the page. I sugest a solid border
- it needs a darker color... just one or 2. But then again I'm useing a flat panel, no color depth

other than that it looks fine
(please parden the spelling and lack of puncuation)

Hi there!

It's a really cool site, but (as said before) too light.

Have the nav buttons darker, and the logo too. It will make a massive difference and think it would be the touch it needs to be a REALLY cool site

Cool, thanks for the help....i definately agree on the drop shadow...i wanted to make it a solid border...although its probably going to be extremely hard to change on the forums styles...since its a bg image inside a table collum on all the different tpl files i think.

Fair few problems code wise 24, to be exact and one major biggie, you have not specified the Encoding for your site (Quite clearly the code was a straight rip off the phpBB theme, as the charset is {S_CONTENT_ENCODING} which is a phpBB variable.........

Too many images without alts, what do you expect visitors to look at if images don't load?

However, aesthetically, it looks nice, could do with a few contrasting elements of colour though...

Same as everyone else, it's too light. Specifically, I would make the header and the images "normal," then everything else looking light will probably look fine.

However, I also thing that with the content you're displaying there, you could easily (and should) arrange it so that everything is displayed without any scrolling down. I have to admit, those are probably the biggest thumbnails I've ever seen. Just making those smaller will help tons.

Also, the pic of you on the About page looks weird being at an angle, but then cut off within another rectangle. Does that make sense?

But I do like the overall look/feel of your site. Very clean, and consistent throughout.

I agree with everybody it is too light, but apart from that the site looks really good. You should get some contrast and make sure that the buttons are more powerful especially the color.
