Just thought I'd share with you my new design for my site. Be warned it will look bad (edited for this forum lol) in resolutions other than 1024*768 as i am not a webdesigner at heart so im not exactly knowledgable on how to correct this. Also I need to know the code so my bg doesnt repeat and it just scrolls black.

Anyway, comments and crits welcome

It didnt unfortunately no.

Once I'm home from work I will be readding the old site content and starting work on some new stuff so please check back frequently. The news page has now turned into a news/blog page for anyone interested in my depressing life lol

Ummm... i like the fade in and out for the links but it should fade out even if your highliting another link. If that made any sense to you :S

I've taken the site out of frames now, its in tables, probably not the best solution again judging from what I am constantly hearing. Any chance one of you could explain exactly how I would go about correcting this resolution issue? I think I read something about a code that makes the page equal the width of the users browser window? If theres no such thing correct me but if there is please explain :) I'll have a look myself in the mean time.

You've got to realise that although hardly anyone runs at under 1024 these days, people don't always maximise things. Even on my 1600x1200 + 1024x768 dual display, my browser is only 867x671.

Indeed, you need to look into ways of making your site scale better. Fixing it to 1024x768 != a good solution. I run 1600x1200 at home and 800x600 at work, and it would be broken in both :o

That's one wide site. Reduce it.

Another staghostee! :D
I like your design. I think it's nice and neat.

For the background to stop repeating, I think you'd add something like this is your CSS code:

background-repeat: no-repeat;
