Gimme 5 hours at best and it will be changed to a newer one. I was working with VB4 Layout and I had to delay the front page because of some stupid css and js conflicts. I will fix it today and get the new page up.
Boy, I sure hope it doesn't interfere with one of your prayer sessions
That was the funniest thing I've read all day.
Get on it Dfg, I've been waiting for this day for a long long time. If anything, I'm embarrassed to advertise our URL without including the BBS part :facepalm: If the site looks great then I'll sure as hell start - plus search engines will like us more
I know it's NOT the best mainpage but it's still more easy to configure. Thoughts ideas etc
I propose the following things;
No scrollbars - keep a few articles on the "this just in" section but not so many that you have to scroll down to view them. I think the main page should be short and to the point, giving the user the option of clicking on the other links at the side of the page should they wish to read more.
We should keep the about section functional - It's good to have some information about the site/link to totse/FAQ etc, all easily accessible by clicking on a link at the side.

Now I think you should work on displaying what the site actually IS. A first glance at the main page doesn't really tell anything about the site, apart from the fact that we have a few articles up regarding seemingly random topics.
what you might like to do though is add a thin closable div just on top of "this just in" with a yellow background that says " We have a Active forum (with link)"
Something that looks like an infobar
<html>
<body>
<div style="position: relative; background-color:yellow; height:20px; width: 250px">
We have an Active <a href="http://www.totse.info/bbs">community</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
It looks finished to my eye. looks pretty good :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Is there a reason you didn't highlight to Community and SSL links yellow?
Yep, it doesn't fit well with the layout. Don't worry if you look closely register and FORUM words are quite visible.
Also, I hate ruining design. I tried my best to match the layout as best as possible. Considering what I have at the moment this layout will do for now. Unless you guys want something fancy.
Awesome. Liking the look of it so far, although I think you should clean up the odd looking capital letters/non capital letters in the top right. It's good that you're trying to direct people to the forums but it looks a little messy. Also, RSS should be capitalized.
After you've finished designing, you should get it W3C Validated so we can have a nice little validation badge at the bottom too

Done
4 per page set
Done
Know what I mean?
There's no way to do that, the navigation on the side is too long and besides it looks better longer. More like a bulletin board.

Also, Dfg - it's all misaligned slightly compared to the BBS. I think the whole thing needs to be moved down a little bit.
Also, you should add in something about being able to use HTTPS :thumbsup:
Once this page is finished, it's just a better of copy paste
I will add HTTPS reminder as well.

Also, what would those containers look like with a border on?
Added a border and extra padding.
