I went through the affiliates, Rene's Retro Computers & Games Site and the Cinci Classic pages we are not on their home page. I say we remove those. Cinci Classic site has a description of RFG under the link that is out of date.

Cinci Classic has been removed from the live site, and replaced with hardcore gaming. Rene's I'll have to look into.

I thought that might be the case once I went to the live homepage.

Well, the new front page is completely and totally coded, sans for a javascript function that doesn't change the appearance of the site. It's even valid XHTML 1.0 transitional, though the only areas of the site that will probably be valid XHTML are this here forum and the front page.
Please note that this is 1 page of
many
. So, while this page is finished there are so many other pages to make work with the template and then also use CSS / pseudo XHTML. So, I guess the moral of the story is be patient, there is still a hell of a lot more work to do.

I learned that IE sucks and was displaying things differently than in Firefox. I fixed it, and I have since tested the site design on Opera as well.
While it looks fine on all browsers, I'll go ahead and say
looks best on Firefox
. So, yeah, ditch IE and download Firefox. If you have Opera, go ahead and keep using that.

I'm a little late to this party, but while I do like the look of the new front page, it does feel like the left side is a little empty. I'm assuming once the newspost have more on them then one or two lines it will look better. Just throwing in my two cents.

I like the new layout. Everything looks good in Firefox, but in IE7 and Opera the text on the front page is centered instead of left aligned, and that's why the left side of the page looks so empty.
So, David, please fix this for Opera and IE and things will be great.
This might help you out:

Having dabbled in CSS a bit myself I can appreciate how much of a pain in the ass it is finding a happy medium between FF and IE. Both seem to handle CSS quite differently, Sometimes you have to make small sacrifices because IE interprets it differently and is a bit behind the times, especially older versions.

I fixed that a long time ago, and I've tested it in Opera 9, Firefox, and IE 6.5. Before that I tested the site using XHTML 1.0 Validation, which it passed (total pain in the ass to make compliant), but it centered on IE and Opera. Screwing around with things rectified the situation.
The test design is located
here
. It took me several days to get it to look good while also being XHTML compliant, and I can assure you that the front page and forum will likely be the only things that pass validation. Everything else will be tinkered with until it looks good.

Just curious I was wondering if the link for the searches will remain "Databases"?
Professional sounding and also what we refer to it as, but perhaps not as user friendly to new members or visitors as it could be? We live in a world where ebay types out each system's name so people know where to click, I would expect Database might be a bit intimidating for some or perhaps they wouldn't think to associate it with searching.

Well, that link is what it is, the link to the databases. What would you like to call it? Repositories? Search? Certainly Database Search Would be too long. I'll entertain ideas.

Here's another couple of ideas i had. The tabs not necessarily in that order but you get the idea
Frees up more sidebar space as well.
