    Why didn't you add some graphics on the top header?

    I liked content you are having in ur website...as far as designng is concerned you have work a lot to make it more astecially good looking website. Colours are fine...Top banner design is not going with rest of the template...make it in rectangular shape...and for god sake remove scrolling java scripts and have static content...let the page scroll...right now scrolling script is more of pain...and user have to have lot to see kind of content your having...

    Dude, stop the scrolling. I can't read the titles and when I find one I like it dissappears. Some graphics would be good and I'd centre the page.

    Yeah, agreeing with the crowd here, axe the scrolling - it runs like CRAP with that jerky movement... I'd also work on your centering since the layout seems broken on 'large font' machines.

    If you are going to keep the scrolling, switch to a method that scrolls SMOOTHLY and provide controls to stop the scrolling, as well as go forward/back so people don't have to 'wait for it'.

    Ha, he is using a <marquee> tag, so it is either going to be jerky or too fast. forumize, if you must keep that annoying scrolling, use a JavaScript scroller so you can make it scroll smoothly and pause scrolling on mouse-over.

    Also, I would get rid of that top banner, ads are annoying, especially when it is effectively advertising the site it is on. Other changes I recommend are a better font, no bright blue links and some contrast between the content area of the site and the background.

    A 72KB page should not load that slow.

    Get rid of the scrolling.

    Center your box.

    Not sure about that background with your silver themed box.

    Big oval at the top has to go.

    If you are going to have rounded corners, make sure you round them. The bottom footer is a square image, with rounded corners. It is kind of strange.

    Get rid of the search box, unless you make it search your site.

    Unify your website theme. When I go from one page to another, it should look the same.

    Your latest update page is garbage in Firefox. Get rid of the snowflakes and those Japanese ladies in the footer. Once again, an odd combo.

    Again, unify your theme, every page is different. It is weird.

    Your contact page is really bad.

    Too be really honest, the whole site should be scrapped and re done with a unifiying theme. You need to write it down on paper. Write a list of colors to use and stick with it. Make one set of buttons. Don't randomly stick images where they don't convey meaning. I would also suggest going to W3 Schools website and learning CSS.

    denverrusell,
    Are you serious? : (===) That is my best jaw drop emoticon. :)
    Every time you switch pages, the navigation system completely changes.
    Are we talking about the same site? ;)

    Hi forumize,
    to be honest your website needs allot of work to be completed:
    1. Just focus on one design for your site and stay with it on all your pages (the way it is now is very frustrating for everyone).
    2. Check the major Freeware websites on the web and try to see what they did to have a successfully site.
    3. Try to get a pro design for your website.. it is very childish what you`ve got set up right now - no offense i don`t like one page in your entire site.

    Anyway i want to congrats you for your try and i know you can do better than this.
    Post when you had change it and let us review a pro website!

    King Regards,
    Cris
