The bottom table is your problem.
All cells have width's like this

<td width="123">

Make that somewhere around:

<td width="13%">

(That would be in the code view of dreamweaver)

The site looks fine to me. Did you by any chance zoom in by accidentally clicking on the zoom button on the lower right corner of the browser.

I using firefox too. Normally, firefox hasn't got any zoom function but mine has (got with theme). I see it very stretched out. And the zoomlvl is 100%. I have seen in some phpbb styles has different css files like ie.css, ff.css/bidi.css etc and every browser uses different css. Idk if it would work in this case.

IE is not capable of proplerly showing the width you specified.
Firefox is, but its not the way you want it to look.
So like I said change it to about those values.

hi,

somebody on the dreamweaver forum told me that the problem was because i have all some of my width in percentage insted of pixels so i've just finished changing everythig to pixels and will test to see if it works are you saying that i should put 13% in place of where the the 123 width is. thanks

[Thewinator]

yes becouse a width of 123 pixels for just one link seems huge.

ok i will do it now and see what happens
Edit:
ok i have two 123. one of them i managed to change to 13%. the other one wouldn't let me. this is so confusing. i don't even know what this link is that i'm changing.
Edit:
in explorer i can see 13% AND 123 in firepox i still see 100% then 123 below. plkeases don't leave me! lol
