I have read the tutorial on putting HTML in the header and footer sections in order to accomodate my top and side ads, but have a few problems.
Here's the test forum:
http://www.ekartingnews.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=7 The problems:
Browsers: looks fine in IE and okay in Netscape six. Sucks in Netscape below v. 6. Looks to be a table issue? That's 18% of our users, too big to blow off.
Speed: Whether it's the added HTML or the graphics (which have been fairly well optimized), the load speed is noticably slower in this configuration compared to the generic design. What can be done?
Would using frames for the top and side be a solution for these two problems? If so, how do I get the forum to show in the main frame (I get a "remote file: http://ekartingnews.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi" message)?
Thanks!
