REVIEW REQUEST: http://www.webmasterbids.com
Hi,
We have just launched a new design for our site. We would like to hear some constructive criticism. However, not too harsh, we are a little sensitive of our baby.

I got 3 javascript errors on the main page
on line 387 char 70 error: expected ';'
also line 2 char 421 error '_bn' is undefined
and line 395 char 1 error '_hbfb' is undefined
I also got a security expired cert alert in Opera while viewing an auction
I found it a litle confusing and hard to find my way around, I checked out some topics (all seem like banner impressions) but couldn't find my way back to the topics, 'ad directory' takes you to a page that doesn't look like its your site.
There are a few pages that don't contain your banner or "look" (affiliate page) and a broken link (resources.php) and the 'privacy' link at the very bottom right is a link to hitbox
the bordercolor thing is a IE thing so in other browser it's just standard table borders
<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me
"); } ?>

site took about 25 seconds to connect to.
i felt it was easy to navigate around
one thing maybe the stats that list the number of auctions maybe move those to the upper portion of the page, so they are easier to see.
Otherwise I like it.

I too get the javascript error and a horizontal scrollbar at 800*600 which should be gotten rid of by setting your page margins to 0.
IMO your logo doesn't really stand out enough as it looks more like a banner ad and that oval next to it also looks odd to me. The only other thing is that I think that the content should start at the top and the adverts should go to the bottom of the page. Oh and at larger resolutions the bottom navigation looks odd stretched across the page when the main section if fixed width.
Other than that you have a good start and good luck with it

I didn't like this website very much.
Why?:
1) Look at allegro.pl - if you are making a auctions website You have to use more colors
2) Button on the top are awful. Change them.
I like the layout - this tables are really good.
Keep working at this site!

Two things
1, Use colour more effectively
2, The it looks good at the top but starts to "degrade" to the bottom.

Got the same 3 errors as busy. Loading time was fine.
The word 'adequate' springs to mind. Needs a bit of brightening up.
The banner ads are a bit intrusive and distracting (not in a good way).

its ok i guess rather boring and uninviting, not a lot of color and doesnt really want to make me read on and find out more, not really lively enough for me.sorry get some life into it.

I would have to agree with what was said above. However, I have an idea. Work with the bubbles from your logo and pull away from the box. Incorporate the arch into the page layout, find a more playful font, and create a little depth. Furthermore, limit your colors / infact, change them to something less bold and crayola. Its just a start, but I think it will help.

Hi, Well the first thing that caught my eyes was the text after advertising auctions is totally left. I think it could use a margin for whitespace. Also your banner caught my eye by not being centered. This is the same for your footer which I think also should be centered. Spelling error on line 93 auctions spelled wrong in alt tags. Good luck Dave you have 3 server connections slowing you down and you are missing a lot of height and width tags for your images. hth and good luck:)
