OK. I've added content, a few pages, and a bit of PHP coding on it. I'm working on the new banner so please do not keep telling me "The Banner is bland" or "The Banner needs Improvement!". I'm working on it now. It should be done soon...

I'd bump up the cellpadding for the contents table, so the text doesn't appear to be merged with the border.

i think the design too wide, narrow it down a little and maybe center it. i think you need to make the nav bar a bit more pleasing.

Scratch it.. Just start over... You're not making much progress anyway. Start with something more organized. I know you can come up with something awesome :) Just need to start over.

OK. New web design up and running :D. Every page in the link bar at the top of the page is working, except for "Ranking". It will be done later. I hope you guys enjoy & like my new creation. Enjoy!

I like it. I think the colours in this one are much better.

I noticed that the table at the top increases in height when you hover over the links. Wasn't sure if it was deliberate or not, so I thought I'd point it out.

On the home page, the 'clan wars' and 'evens' images I'm not too keen on. It brings a 4'th font to the page, and looks a little inconsistant. It may look pretty cool with the font you used in the title perhaps.

Also not sure if it's deliberate...You've got 'Latest News' on the home page in Times New Roman, and the rest of the page isn't, and neither are any of the headers on other pages.

I still think the cellpadding needs to be increased for the main contents :P. (If it messes up the layout of the entire page by increasing the cellpadding, just create another table within the cell for the contents, make it a little smaller than the actual cell, and align+valign it center).

Overall it looks great though. I like the title image. Muct better than the last one. (By the way, what texture did you use for it? 'Cause I like the look of it. Did you use Photoshop to make the image?) I also like the yellow text on the grey background. Looks very nice.

Seems to be coming along quite nicely :lol:

A Hell of a lot better than the last one...

1: increase cell padding
2: ditch the font that says "couter strike clan" it looks terrible...
3: Under clan wars... do something with that.. that contrast behind the title sucks...
4: back to the "CS clan" title... whatever you do don't do that.. don't have it faded back there like that... Use swish or something to do some cool subtle effect that loops and doesn't look terrible... something very subtle if possible.
5: are the hyphens that are floating by at the top, are they supposed to be lagging like that? Not fluid? If you're going for fluid it looks terrible up there, but if you're going for that effect it looks good. I can't decided on that part up top I would like the hyphens either way.

Big improvment!

On Firefox on mac when you hover over the home link the table gets smaller. Took a quick peak at your source and could not find any reason for this.

But its a good start.

Yea I used Photoshop. The Macromedia Flash MX seemed to have stuffed up the quality of the logo though... It's not really a texture. I just messed around with the settings and filters.

Ah... thanks for pointing these things out everyone. I haven't configured the website for Firefox yet. I can't really do it either untill I get Firefox, which may be soon.

Hmm... it seems my FTP stuffed up again and didn't upload. It's meant to use this really cool font in orange (as a picture).

fourtytwo, What do you mean by "Don't Fade it back"?

Anyway, thanks for the comments everyone. Anyone know how to make .htaccess display who you're logged in as?
