    I'm getting conflicting opinions - some say it's too 90's, others like the design.

    Please let me know what you think.

    1. it loads pretty slow
    though the design is nice and clean
    also, in the left sidebar :
    [CaRP] XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1

    I wouldn't call it 90s, but the blue/lime green combination is a little bright. I'd consider having navigation within the left sidebar, maybe before your partner links. I think users will be less used to navigating from the top of the site. You may end up losing users that would otherwise navigate through your site more.

    Also, though it's just my personal pet peeve, I don't like sites that have scroll bars for the content. I use my clickwheel almost exclusively, and the dual scroll always ticks me off ;)

    Thanks, the carp thing is fixed - it seems to happen once and a while - not sure why - I'll work on the slow load.

    I've been getting the scroll bar comment a lot - can you tell me what your screen resolution is? most of my visitors seem to have a high resolution and in that case, the scroll bar is not there - it's only the lower ones that have the issue but I'm working on resolving that - I didn't know until recently that people in general don't like it :eek:

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    It doesn't look 90s to me either...but loads very slowly, maybe because of frames?

    Thanks, no frames on the site - css but I just adjusted every image and that should really improve the load speed - I mean I "just" did it 10 seconds ago :D
