This is what I mean about lack of cell padding. In the first pic, you can see how it's so tight (at 1024 pixels), that the first letter of "Hi" has been clipped - that's the result of 0 cell padding....
Yet a few inches further down there is a ton of white space on both sides...

Totally agree with you martyn. I think the adds should just go on top or bottom of the page so that there's not so much space wasted. And so you can see the forums well on a 800x600 which I also sometimes have to use.
I can use this address to get it in fullscreen but if I click a link it gets back to normal :/: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/index.php?&DontReWrite&ct=
I think the website is quite chaotic and not so calm looking like it did before.
Nevertheless you've done a great job.

I agree with Martyn here.
The Quick Links (just like in the header) already contain:
- Articles
- Reviews
- Forums
- Gallery
- Weather
A second header would solve a lot of white on the left hand side of the screen and would make the screen less cramped.
In the second header you can add:
- Events
- Bushmoot
- Magazine
- Newsletter
- Resource links (maybe combined with Submit Weblink)
- Competition
- Downloads
Site Blogs are already in the header, so could also be removed from the left hand menu.
Maybe the User Menu could be combined with the Login section (top left - where you can add a pic of yourself
- neat feature btw 
).What about making the adverts automatically drop down as you scroll down the page? That would also eliminate a lot of white at the right hand side, and from a commercial point of view: the adverts are in sight at all times (and that's what those companies are paying for).
Or: make them a header aswell, maybe a moving one - from right to left ...
Another, minor, point of interest: could 'bushcraft' on top of the page (in the blue header) changed to 'Bushcraft' or 'BuscraftUK' - at least something written with a capital ...
I realise this would be another complete make over
Maybe it's just getting used to it. Having a little bit of selfknowledge: I know it takes some time for me to get used to new things 
I couldnt see this posted here, so forgive me if its been raised already. If you click on a new forum post on the front page, you only get a frame length of replys for that thread with no scroll.
Had a look at the code, it looks like people are still posting in the beta site, which is screwing it up, the new posts on the active site work fine.

It's working for thread subscriptions for me.
It seems to work on some pages for me but not all.
Also, clicking the 'go to first new post' button in a thread doesn't work.

If you middle click off to the side i.e. under the menu or sponsors then the scroll works for me in Firefox and IE 7.
2) Also the link in Tonys sig doesnt work an error comes up saying "Restricted Access"
3) and i have the previously mentioned Hybrid mode cascading error in IE7 and Firefox
Matt

I'm not getting any of the visual problems people are experiencing, I'm viewing in 1600x1200 and using Firefox.
One problem I do have (and it was the same on the old forum) is that I can goto a sub forum and there might for instance be one thread with unread posts and if I then read it and then click the shortcut at the top of the page to take me back to the forum index, it still shows that post as being unread. The only way around this is to Mark the sub forum as read.
One suggestion, as well as having a mark forum read option can you have mark forum read and return to index, also?

The full members forum isn't working. And most importantly, that's the bit we pay for.
I'm sure you know this already, but when you click on the link to the FM forum, it loads the forum AND the side menus into the main frame.
some bits even shoe the header design from the old site.

Is this something i'm going to have to do every time i visit the forum as repeatedly logging out and back in is doing my head in.
Clear your cookies, you have a cookie conflict between old and new. Either that or you are using AOL and have some lazy cookies on thier proxy server which will clear naturally in time, it's just that AOL is crap and it takes ages.
That's not really necessary is it? I'm sure you pay for more reasons than just one more itty-bitty forum to use?
Give the bloke a break, this is a major site upgrade and there are bound to be teething troubles. I'm sure Tony will deal with the FM forum, but there is no need to throw the "bit we pay for" thing at him. I'm sure if it's an issue for you, Tony will give you a refund (and if I were Tony I'd gift-wrap it with an invitation to find the door.)
Why can the word s o r r y not be used on here.....I have been trying to appologise to folk for the silly mood I have been in this evening and the word sorry does not appear....???
I know s o r r y is supposed to be the hardest word, but this is rediculess...

Still having to log in to each section when I change from, say, forums to blogs and vice versa and it will not let me post a Blog comment to wish Red ATB....says I have to be logged in to post even though I am. If it's me being computer illiterate perhaps someone would kindly tell me where I'm going wrong as I'm sure Tony has enough on his plate....
The threads still have their anchors (the # and number at the end of the url when clicking on a new posts icon) but they no longer seem to work in the frameset. Is there anything that can be done about this?
PMs seem to be obscured on the RHS too.
