Start by making sure your code validates so that you know it should display in all browsers as the w3 requests: http://validator.w3.org From there we can look at specific issues. It may be cookie-related.

Yes, but wouldnt u think that firefox would be displaying the page incorrectly if the coding was not met to the w3c standards?? from my experience i have found IE to display my "messy/sloppy" code alot better than firefox.. I know my code is NOT w3c certified and it will take me some working to get it to that point, I can do this but i still believe there has to be something more too it for Internet Explorer not to display it and for firefox to.. Any other input would be great but ill go ahead and make my site to the w3c standards. Where u refering to XHTML or HTML under the w3c standards??

IE will display anything you throw at it, but not well sometimes. If you are having display issues you should always check to make sure your code validates well, then we'll know it's not your coding that's the problem and can find the problem more quickly

Ok i have valididated my code and it is all fixed to w3c standards for XHTML. But, still no change. So now is it possible for someone to take a look and give me their opinion on why it may be doing this?

Use
<body bgcolor="#000000">
instead of just
<body>

Its not just the background that isnt showing, If you look at my site in both Firefox and IE, You will notice that the forum spreads accross the whole page (Firefox) but only covers 1/2 of it (and aligned to the left) in IE. Shouldnt the background be fine if its specified in the CSS Stylesheet? I thought that using <body bgcolor> is infact a worse way to do it, and using CSS is more recommended.

well for the width issue, it's cause you put it into a cell that had a width set for 800. <td colspan="3" width="800" height="100%"> You also have the table tag set to use "FAFAFA" as the background color. Firefox ignores this, as it's not a valid color. However, IE is lenient, and assumes you mean "#FAFAFA", which is the white color you're seeing <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="FAFAFA">
