Let me put it this way: to me, tables for layout is like kryptonite.

So... many... tables... THEY BURN! Aside from the validation errors, the *shudder*[i]tables[/i]*shudder*, and the terrible contrast between the dark green and the black, looks good!

What part of "The client demanded it" did you not here? You can't get rid of it if the client wants it. Also, the only resolution where I don't get any sort of scrollbars is at 1280x1024. I'd suggest that you maybe make that a fluid-width site.

"Basic Site"? Where did you get this stuff that you don't seem to fully understand? This doesn't sound like a CSS problem, it sounds like a PHP thing.

What is it with websites with tables today? Never been fond of them, especially for something this simple. Now, this site doesn't validate, which is generally a bad thing for cross-browser compatibility. It also renders well in other browsers, which is also a good thing. However, the way that your menu icons turn into a solid colour on hover, and the fact that you have some very annoying colour-changing paragraphs, just doesn't work.

I'll agree with the previous two posters-they basically hit everything I see wrong with it, excepting the use of tables. It is valid XHTML though, so there's a point in your favour.

How are you outputting the text? Just what exactly are you using to output the first menu? Basically, all you need to do (if you want to do it like I would) is take all of the categories and create a list for each of them within the <li> tags of a master list. Then the links within the categories just come out of the database with an <a> tag and its contents.

That's odd. I've been using quick edit ever since it became a feature and it has worked for me. However, it seems that you are correct; it just returned that for me when I tried to edit my post.

I think that that's just a server problem, not a code problem.

"modification" I'd say. I have no idea on why though, and also I missed some updates [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /] [/quote] Ah, political correctness. Never been a fan of it myself. Here's the basic summary: this idiot hacked the forum, and once it was un-hacked, the version of IPB that PHPFreaks was running was taken and updated to the more secure, later version. Because of the fact that they went from 2.0.x to 2.1.x, the entire forums code was essentially taken and replaced, and with it, every single 'modification' that was made to IPB by the admins, such as the Solved button and the PHP tags.

It's simple. All you'd need to do is create an element with a white background in the middle of the header with some padding to make it large and dark green borders at the top and bottom.

Again, as you might know, the [code=php:0] tags are NOT coming back. It just won't be happening, because the hack was removed in the update to the forums. The mods have answered this time and again that they won't be bringing them back.

I just don't get why it is that you're using images for that. You could probably pull that effect off with just plain CSS and text.

Tables, white-on-black-on-white, image patterns and styles that went out of style over a decade ago... This entire concept is, again, useless, and the site itself just doesn't worrk well.

No time for a long, detailed critique yet. But your nav system is using divs instead of <a> tags. What's up with that?

Well, divs work without a specific width for floats. But because they are block elemente, they will always go to the next line. Can you be more specific about the problem?

Okay, maybe I was being a little harsh on that. But it's just that Javascript isn't for that sort of display, CSS is. That's the entire point of having CSS and Javascript-one is for style, the other is to help power the style. It is way easier to develop and rebuild a CSS layout then it is a Javascript layout. Javascript and AJAX and all of those things are meant to supplement-no supplant-HTML and CSS, and using them like that really doesn't add anything.

No there aren't. On certain forum systems there are, but not on this one, I'm afraid.

Wait, you're telling me that you use Javascript for page layout? Though that may work, from my POV, that is just a terrible idea to use Javascript for something like that. It seems almost abusive and insulting to the language.

Ooh, a generator for a curved corner generator with tables. I could do that in Photoshop just fine, and with a little work, I could get it to work with CSS. I'm sorry, but this kind of application missed its time. So did posts that sound like brochures. Also, the site itself is really quite ugly.

Take a look at the News forum at the bottom. It tells you very specifically that, unless it is a matter of security, the admins WILL NOT change your username.

Hey, aren't I the forums' dedicated interAKT plugger? Probably should've posted that link.

[a href=\"http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/[/a] You've got a lot of these errors. Scroll through this site for a while. You've also got all of these errors (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usnet1.net%2F) as well as all of these (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usnet1.net%2F) which you can fix easily. You also have a disorganized and long encyclopedia page, a blank Jokes page, and a calculator program, which I question the use of.

Really? I'd always thought it didn't work like that. Learn something new every day, it seems.

I suppose you could have it so that you have an if statement for the redirect, like if $user == x, redirect code here.
