Can some folks help me take a look at my site using various browsers. I am using FireFox 3.0.5 ... just let me know if the site looks right in your browser if you could.  Thanks.

No immediately obvious problems in Safari 4 or Chrome. The main site menu has a few minor problems in Opera 9 and there're a few layout issues in IE7.
By the way, a lot of the links on your forums have a "login" anchor at the end of them.

why are you constraining it to a 780px width? it looks pretty ridiculous on my widscreen monitor, and even on my standard monitor you are wasting 1/3 of the screen (most modern computers use at least 1024 screen size anyway very fiew use < 1024 these days) and even if your users did have an 800x600 screen then your site is too wide anyway as you only have 770px to play with not 780.
your forum section is therfore tiny and will not work very well at all |

Gee, thanks for the encouragement, Huw.  
If you must know about my settings, I was very lazy and found a free template that was nearly exactly what I wanted for a design and message. I worked within it's parameters mostly.
Here is part of the .css file
#wrapper {
text-align: left;
margin: auto;
width: 778px;
position: relative;
background: url(images/body_bg.gif) repeat-y;
}
I'll take a run through the other display settings that my system can muster. What are your display settings Huw?
Would you mind throwing up a screenshot for me?
Thanks Huw! |

Thank you Shaggy for the review!
I have the #login in the anchor because I wanted the page to land not at the top (since that header image is so huge). Instead, I wanted the page to land where the content starts. Do you forsee a problem with using #login?
Thanks again!

my standard monitor is 1280x1024 and my widescreen (the one I use most) is 1680x1050
The biggest problem is that your forum is constrained to ~ 440px which is going to look very odd when you start to get posts.

Hey Gary,
Thank you for the link!
I went there and from the screen shots, it looks like my background image is not staying fixed. I'm not sure if that is from their technology or something amiss in what I did in the code. |

Thanks Panhandler,
I was wondering how that would look in that resolution.
