I want some feedback on pretty much anything related to my WIP. Page loadtimes, incorrect coding, layout, graphics, etc. This is basically my second website Im building up from scratch, and this time Im working with CSS and trying to get all my code as tidy as possible. Also, Im working on keeping it optimized and working in as many browsers as possible. A rating and some feedback would be great. /mind you its not done yet.

What Im really curious about is my rollover image navigation (right below the header). Its using a javascript code I just grabbed off the net somewhere, is this the most effective way to do this? Is it going to significantly effect load times? I think it looks really good as is, but as Im only testing on one computer right now I cant get a feel for loadtimes. (Oh, and I dont think CSS works with this kind off rollover as Im changing the actual text color of the image, not the background.)

looks good. Your forums button doesnt work. You need a much bigger title and something that tells your viewer about what you do. Stupid question but where did you get that script for the rollover image.

Shifty, thats a great gaming template. It would work for almost any COD or MOH clan.

Great Design, i am a big gamer and i know how hard to get a good design.

I like it 9/10

Banner has a little 2 much open space.

Thanks for the feedback. Im still deciding wether that banner's a keeper or not.

This is the rollover code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
loadImage1 = new Image();
loadImage1.src = "images/image1over.gif";
staticImage1 = new Image();
staticImage1.src = "images/image1.gif";
// End -->
</script>

and

<a href="url" onmouseover="image1.src=loadImage1.src;" onmouseout="image1.src=staticImage1.src;">
<img name="image1" src="images/image1.gif" border=0></a>

anyone got a spare tourch so i can see my way around?

its a bit dark dont you think

I guess the black background does make it very dark, but it might also be your monitor brightness? Im not really sure what to do with the background.
