Hi Christopher,

Ok... Please think of this as constructive criticism, the following comments apply to a lot of sites.

Front page has a lot of different modules and content (although I can hardly talk!) which makes the page look cluttered.
That also makes the page rather long (nearly 10 screens on my 1280 x 800 laptop).
your top image is 1280px wide, so that causes a horizontal scroll bar on my screen which I always find distracting.
Something is giving a broken JavaScript error.

Take an objective look through your modules and think about what people actually need to see.

Do you NEED a clock when most people will have one on their taskbar?
While it's good to know where visitors are coming from you have GoogleAnalytics for that, so do your users need revolving maps and country tracking?
Your rotating logo in the =WeeD= module is just taking up space (and is also linked to a dead domain).
Your "Site Navigation" module could easily be replaced by putting the links either in your NavBar or as a separate line below your logo as you've only a couple of pages.
Do you really need the forum search functionality on the front page?

I know it all sounds rather negative but I think with a little tweaking you could have a good looking site.

Positive criticism is good and dont apolagise for it !

If more did it we can take it onboard.

Many sites tend to forget not everyone has a "widescreen" resolution creating the "scroll" outcome and is slightly off putting

Nice site by the way and i agree about the scroller map - id probably go for the google member map which is useable and bigger plus on a different independant page if memebrs want to use for other things such a playing with it for other reason. I have it on mine HERE (http://www.tabletennistalk.co.uk/forum/vbgooglemapme.php)

Thanks for the replies! No offense taking, most the stuff like the clock and the map that is just a preference. The top image banner does suck for those without wide screen but when I make it smaller it makes the banner off set and looks funny to those without widescreen. You are right on the forum search, acutally didnt even know it was on there:D Either way thanks for the response. I will look into the google member map! ;) And thanks for pointing out the broking link! ;)

I'm worse, I have two monitors off the one graphics card, when I'm testing layouts I have one at my normal resolution and another at 1024x768 so I can see straight away.
