nice site

I really dont think the content is an issue to anyone, or it shouldnt be anyways. This is a forum to gather feedback on design anyhow, not content. I find your site to be really nice, easy to navigate and well thought out. Good luck with it and take care.

Yes but It was only an attempt to see if it was working, but dont worry about it. I'll just wait for some of my traffic to click on something to see if its working.

I do have a question though. How does adsense pick the links, does it have to do with the words on the page that the ads are on? I think thats what I read but cant remember. I just added it last night, so I'm still learning this new feature.

You do realise that it is against the rules to ask people to click on your links right?

I was wondering if someone could do me a favor and go to mylinks page and click on a couple of the google adsense links. I want to make sure its working and counting the clicks.

I dont have hardly any traffic on my site right now, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

And hopefully its working and not displaying a Public Service Announcment when someone looks at it.

I would recommend vertical type of centring, because it's much easier to do, particularly on ContentManagementSystems... I would recommend you the LDU CMS (neocrome.net).

I use MxBB(CMS) cause it is designed for the PhpBB2 forum software that I use for the forums.

Im working on a new look cause the "review" section just takes up to much room as it stands now. And I want to make it a little more exciting graphicly

The header will be getting some additions.

I think it,s pretty good! I just have one suggestion... to me it seems a little crowded, maybe you could stagger the colors of the thread topics to break it up a little?? I don't know if it's needed, but I think it would be easier on my eyes!

Other than that, I like it!

Uh oh - something wrong with the nav links at the top. Some are above, some in the middle and some below the double blue/grey line.

Maybe you shouldn't have underlines on the text in the Reviews section - one might mistake them for links (which I did...)

Again on the header/nav bar, on either end there are box things that show up in the middle of that double blue/grey line. Didn't know if that was designed or a layout prob

I like the yellow & grey, but not the shade of blue in the header. Maybe a slightly different shade?

There's a lot of space (equal to the height of the photo) in the first review between the heading and the review. Looks like the text is not wrapping around the graphic.

And in the Headlines, the middle one has the title wrapping which pushes down the text so it's not lined up with the other headline boxes on either side of it.

Have you protected your email address? Hope it's not out there in the clear or you'll be getting spam soon. I added some javascript thing that encrypts mine on the site. There are various ways I guess...

Good luck!

Hmm thats no good, I have no idea how to code for mac users. And no I didn't encrypt my email yet. Unless the program/portal I'm using does it for me, i dunno. I'll have to check that out.

You have two log in forms, yet the top one doesnt have the remember me option.

As your site is centered around teh forums I feel the front page just doesn't cut it. not to sure as to what to do here but I think it's the reviews that are causing the off set.

Is that first reaction a good woah or a bad woah

I have a new revamp in the works for the front page to clean it up and hopefully make it more fitting for the point of the website. As soon as I upload it I'll bump the thread for a second looksy

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions so far people, much appreciated.
