I'm loving the front page design with the widescreen news banner. I like the top and bottom bar remain consistent as I browse.
Haven't found any glitches or broken links.
While browsing the site and looking at the toy galleries, it does seem like portrait oriented pictures in medium size don't fit the screen. I think in medium size on the previous layout, the entire picture fit the screen. That might be nitpicky but I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done given the screen size. (Or has it always been like that and I've never noticed?)

Since the redesign the thumbs on the actual news pages are...basically smooshed into a tiny strip which shows the left half of the picture, squashed.
I don't know how else to explain it really. It used to happen on my rather old windows XP, which we changed a few years back (two maybe?), and really I have no idea why...
If it can't be fixed, I'll just deal with it, but, it would be nice

also on my old eMac (safari 5.0.6) with a screen res of 1280x960 it looks great everything is sized just right, the only criticism i have is for the seibertron.com header. i know you need the ad space but the name and linking widgets looks pushed over to the side, have you thought about 2 ad sections and the name going across the top or just under these ?

I have ... and that's how it was with the previous design. I have the logo and social networking icons to the right of the header advertisement so that people who have larger resolutions can have a smaller header which enables you to see the content on the page more easily because more content is above the fold (content area of a website that appears below the bottom of your monitor's screen without having to scroll), another important aspect of web design. I may have to toss this idea though and go back to the similar header layout to help with the problem that the floating sub navigation bar on the bottom of your browser has caused.

I liked having it fixed as well. It might go back. Unfortunately a lot of people complained about it claiming that it was making their browser lag really bad. I think it was the code that I was originally using that made the background image resize to match the width of your browser. I ended up utilizing a jQuery solution in the end instead of using just CSS to resolve that problem yesterday.
