Need help with my forum.

[PaulVinten]

Hi, I've just finished version 1 of my forum (which I need a lot of feedback for in the next sort of hour, as it's due in tomorrow, and I don't want to hand it in with huge gaping bugs)

The forum will be shut down or removed later on this evening - this is purely for test purposes!!!

Ok first off, get a better web host, ads are a pain in the ass + the
ad prevents me from clicking the top post, but if you cant afford
one, i understand that

Now to the feedback:

1) Font, Times New Roman is not the best font to use on the web.
If you want a font like that, use Georgia instead, or Arial/Verdana.
Georgia & Verdana are both developed for the web to be as easy
to read as possible and they exist in 99% of all computers. Also
those fonts are readble even when very small wich means it will
be less of a problem for people with higher resolutions.

2) Make the post align at top instead of middle. You do it like this:
<td align=left valign=top></td> that makes the text left+top
aligned. Looks much nicer then.

3) Table's never look good with frames, you might want to remove
that aswell. or just remove the 3d frame (the default one) and replace
it with a flat one.

Other then that, it see no problems, it's a nice forum. Keep it up.
