Welcome to the world of website ownership.  Good luck.

Now that is over with, the front page (Dreamcast special) is kind of hard to read with the total black background and white italics text.  When the text is close to the images of the magazines, it can be almost impossible to read if there is any glare/reflection on one's monitors.

I passed your comments and this thread on to Meppi; you should hear from him soon.

Hi Hidinger, nice to see you found us again. Smiley

Still trying certain things out, but I think that problem should be relatively easy to solve.
I'm gonna lose the italics for the main text and change them from a size of 10 to 12, with a bit of extra spacing thrown in for good measure, so that the larger text doesn't blend into itself.

Let me know how that looks and if it solves the problem.

Just have to reformat the text a bit since the letters are larger, so it should be done in about 10 minutes.

Looks good on this computer (but then again this is my home computer and just about anything looks good on it).  I will check it out when I get to work...that will be the determining factor.  Will post again tomorrow.

Okay, had a chance to check on a different computer.  It looks a LOT better with the non-italics and larger sized font.  It is still a little hard to read, but definently 90% better now!

Glad to hear it. Smiley

 It's always hard to make everything look right on every single system, especially with all the screen types and various browsers interpreting code in their own way.

I found the website a bit confusing.  Not the forum.  The site where the articles are.

I find the website design to be clean, clear and I had no problems reading or navigating around, but then everyone has different opinions on what is a clean, clear and problem free website.
