first up ... you're constraining the images to a certain size though they are a different size ... (I believe you're doing this through a width and height in the html ... it looks wrong)

edit:

Congrats on the site btw ...

second up ... needs padding added it hurts reading it

won't work btw. and you should aim to have some unique META description tags. The space between the main content and Latest Forum Threads seems alittle too big IMHO. Or maybe a horizontal bar would bring it all together nicely.

also for more SEO value you should improve the URL structure with maybe mod_rewrite i.e. http://www.drop-d.ie/article.php?article_id=515 would be better it it was http://www.drop-d.ie/report/armed-with-ambiton.html

Ya been down the seo route. H365 wont add a rewrite mod to the IIS server, my only option (so they told me) is to delete the domain from my IIS server and stick it on my unix server. I'm putting it off at the moment as this would mean deleting in excess of 20 email accounts and resetting them on the new server as well as the DB's etc. I'll give my guys a few months notice and plan to move it to unix in the new year and use the mod rewrite.
I was thinking of adding the title to the URL it would be still xxxx?article_id=1243&title=article%2title etc not sure if this would help.
Thanks for the feedback.

Hey Congrats, well done. The first thing that hit was the cluttered text. Add some whitespace and it should improve the look alot.

Both to be honest ...

The font on the Articles page looks too big for my liking
The font on the Front page looks too small

I'm not sure but I think 4 columns on the front page is a bit much especially with the font size. It makes reading it very tricky and as I said it hurts my eyes
