Vik,
I took a look at your site. It is certainly an ambitions project!
As a rule, I don't like frames, since they cut down on compatibility. And yes, I understand that you really don't have many choices available to you.
Have you considered perhaps opening a table in the header file and closing it in the footer? I know a number of people here use that method to get menus and additional information in and around their forums. With the type of nesting you are doing, however, I'm not sure that that would work for you. Still, it might be worth a shot (others have dealt with the problem by running multiple instances of wwwthreads). Unfortunately I am not the best person to ask about this. I'm sure others will be happy to help, however.
Your site looks good. The only additional suggestion I might have would be to integrate the look of your home page with that of the rest of the site. Something I probably don't need to say because you are probably already working on that.
Derek
