Looks nice, loads fast and clean

The first site for the IRC channel has a good color scheme and appears to fit well. However, there is an alignment problem in IE 6 (which is what i am using) since your news gets pushed down below your sponsers portion. Besides that it looks good. I just would widen the site so that it does not have as much wasted space on the outside so i would use percentages rather than pixel widths.As for the second site, i would include a description of what the site actually does at the top of the page or something since i did not have a clue until i typed in some sample c code and tested it. I woud put a bit more color on the page and edit the the layout making it appear a bit cleaner and also would put the results in a box of some sort and not just at the top of the page.

ive made some changes to the first one, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Thanks to SM for the help

Nice changes however i have few more recommendations for you to make. First of all now that you fixed the alignment issue of the content part of the page, you need to fixed the bottom bar. Since it is added in the content area, it is not always at the bottom of the page. What you need to do is move the div to the outer most tag on the page (besides the body one) and put that there so that it always is at the bottom and is the width of your page.Secondly, i would change the highlight and selection colors of your links to match your new header a bit better. maybe make the highlight color the same as your header text? or just make your header a bit more blue.

I like the first site, the one for the irc network. It uses a good colour scheme, loads quickly and looks very professional. The only thing which I would say is a bad thing about the site, is the table. When you browse to the various pages, the table adjusts itself depending on how much content is included on the page. If you could overcome this problem, maybe by including blank space, an image or something like that, I feel the website could be better.The second site looks professional and is neatly laid out. The only thing I could comment on is there is no explanation of what the Pastebin actually does. If you didn't look at the page title in the title bar of your web browser, you wouldn't have a clue it was even a paste bin. Maybe you could include a page title or a small paragraph of text under the submit button?Overall, I feel that both sites are very good and professional. They also load very fast on my internet browser (I'm using internet explorer 7, which is one of the most common web browsers). It might be worth downloading another internet browser such as firefox, just so that you get an idea what your site looks like on different web browsers. Occasionally, problems are experienced on one internet browser but not on others.

hyi like this second site script you made.. if it is free you could share it, i really need something like that to learn php better..and that java irc applet, did you made it your self?

Love the design. Looks nice and fluid and works perfect in Firefox 2.0

I would say both are really good, but well the tables in the first site, they arrange themselves relative to the content and so the bottom border part gets all messed up and it doesn't look bad still it looks kinda improper, fix it if you can. And the second site is pretty good too and just loved it! Keep up the good work, you've got a lot of potential and yeah the same question as someone asked earlier, is that script free so that even I use it?

I thought I commented on your site, after I help fixed some of the coding I guess I didn't . But yeah the colors like nice all all that could stuff a bit small maybe you should center everything instead of having it at the top.

Just a simple

position: absolute; top 500px;

and your set, most small sites like your's do it like that, just to make it more fuller or something like that.
