Design Critique- My debate site

Hey all,

I posted a while back when I first started my project. Now I’ve made it a little more than just a forum…and I’m trying to make it as user friendly as possible.

Hope you like the simple things I’ve done to make http://www.volconvo.com better.

P.S. if the width of the featured topics square is a little too wide…I can’t figure it out…it’s an IE thing that I’m workin on :slight_smile:
