    When you go to my site forums everything is fine in FireFox but the front page of the forums is way too wide in IE - but the internal pages are fine everything fits. Any ideas why the main page is so wide in IE and not FireFox ??

    Diff width is usually because of a double margin from floating div bug in ie or overflow probs. But without a link,can't say..

    A helpful member here found the problem but he will not work on a adult site so here is what he found if anyone can fix it I am willing to pay

    1. your css styling needs to be tweaked a lil to include certain style fix for IE
    2. width settings in your template seems to need a Change (dont make it fluid,make it fixed)
    3. This may also be caused due to some pluggins/hacks you have installed (its easier to spot, just change the theme for a while and even then if the problem persists, you can be sure that it is caused by pluggins)

    Well first thing you need to change is <!-- SECTION_GALLERY_START --!>
    to <!-- SECTION_GALLERY_START -->
    All comment tags need to be closed with --> not with --!>

    you have to many links with the navbar
    it's obvious and very easy to fix
    seeing how you "spent" so much money for the brandfree,, why don't you ask at vbulletin.com? :rolleyes:

    Agreed with Loco - you have way too many links in your nav bar. Insert a third navbar and move some links to the third row. Or - increase the forum width to 1000 pixels. Personally, do you really need all those links in the navbar? It looks like you have tried to over build your site. The repeated banner on the home page is a bit much, in fact its really annoying.


    Also, you may be in violation of your VBulletin license agreement.

    http://www.vbulletin.com/order/license_agreement.php
    The "Copyright ©2000 - 2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd." text is the same as the background color. You might need to change the text color so it is visible to stay in compliance with your license agreement.

    Cool site though, I might just join. :D

    It's not about the links in the nav bar well used to be an issue but now they show in ie6 ;), there's probs with the java ads plus it's missing 3 closing </divs tags, etc, etc...

    I had this problem and it turned out to be a misbehaving add-on. Can you list which add-ons you're using?
