Pretty much the way your site should be, I think.

I really like the effects and graphix and stuff! Everything seems logical too.

Hmm yeah i might just do that add a bottom but it might be hard because everything is in layers so might be hard to have a bottom cause the layers expand with content. be hard to define a distinc bottom of the page but ill play with it.

I think the color scheme rocks. I too like that cold feel. What got me thinking was the bottom. there really isn't one. It seems like the main body of the page just disapears into the bottom of the monitor. I had to lift up my monitor to see if the webpage had continued onto the bottom or something Seriously, i'd like to see a defined bottom to the page. That's about it.

Cheers

Well I have nothing really to add. I definitely give it a thumbs up. The design is professionally done. Good-looking portal.

For me it did take some time to load. I'm using cable and listening to a radio station in Sweden using Windows Media Player. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Thats weird about that font size problem .
I would gladly change it but it would effect a lot of things actually with size differences.

I guess i have good eyes hehe.

Oh you ment change Misc to About. i thought you mean change About Metatrox to About in the misc section.

I would chaneg the Misc to About but its not only About Metatrox it also has Links to other sites.

Oh, sorry, I meant changin "misc" to "about" - "About Metatrox" would be just fine.

You must have really good eyes - I'm running at 1152 on a 19" and reading that gives me a headache!

Well the reason i said that 100% thing is because soem peopel change it so it would be their fault if it was too small or not.

As i mentioned above i run 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor and i have no problem reading it in NS or in IE and they both set to normal text size.

Ill see if i can add a style sheet to make it easier.

What would changeing "About Metatrox" to "About Us" or "About" make any difference in user friendly?

Mine is set at 100%. I'm not about to go to the trouble to change my setting just so I can read what's on your site. Whether or not it's too small *for you* shouldn't be a concern - more important to consider whether your visitors can read it.

As for the "About Us" thing, you could just put "about" or something like that??? I think I've seen this elsewhere. Most of this is just about being user friendly.

Here's a thread that talks about defining font sizes in a stylsheet:

Basically what you do is this:

p {font size: 15px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"}

Im nto sur ehow to use Style Sheets to specifiy the text size and face. How would i go abotu doing that?

Ill play with the font colors to see if i can bring them out a bit.

I added the 2 arrows because it can make things more conveneint soemtimes.
Ill possibly take them ut cause im goign to be changeing the menu. i think i tried :Tutorials" on the menu but i dont think it would fit but we will see when i redo the menu. I used Educate cause it was something different from others.

Yes the Blur effect is going bye bye hehe

Hmm yeah in IE there is a hand i guess i need to add a change mouse cursor part for in NS. Thanks for letting me know. Must have been soemthing i missed when debigging for NS.

spelling and grammar? Ahhh! hehe i have to admit i make many mistakes when im typing. i need a good word program so i can check it huh? About the "About Us" i didnt really want to put that because it is a single person operation but it wasnt just about Us it was about the whole Metatrox operation and existance but ill see what i can do.

Thanks for the good review ill see what i can do to fix what i can. If you can tell me how to use style sheet please tell me. I have one on the site but i dunno how you set the face and size correctly.
