   I've created a film review and discussion site, build using WordPress and a punBB forum.

   http://www.mootfilm.com

   Any feedback would be appreciated.

   Well it looks incredible. How did you get that big changing image on the front page?

   its just a slideshow, view the source..

   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if (ie4||dom)
document.write('<div id="canvas0" style="position:absolute;width:'+slideshow_width+';height:'+slideshow_height+';top:0;left:0;filter:alpha(opacity=10);-moz-opacity:10"></div><div id="canvas1" style="position:absolute;width:'+slideshow_width+';height:'+slideshow_height+';top:0;left:0;filter:alpha(opacity=10);-moz-opacity:10;visibility: hidden"></div>')
</script> ...

   might want to fix those.

   also your feed link needs to be fixed if you want folks to be able to click it that are using ff.

   Nicely done. I'd get some pretty urls going soon though.

   Yeah, I was wondering if you had used a plugin. How did you get the text in front of the big image?

   Great looking site! A+. Clean and easy to navigate. Great use of greyscale with color. What forum software are you using?

   One criticizm would be (and this is just nit-picky since the site looks excellent) to put a little space between the post body (left column) and the sidebar, equal to the padding on the left and right of the wrapper (looks like 10px). I would also recommend giving this gap a color other than white to help for a smooth transition between the large header blocks.

    Looks great!

    In IE6, your footer was 3/4 up the page, snug under your content, and your side bar extended way past.

    My question: how did you get the javascript for the slideshow in the front page, and not the other pages?

    Ahhh fantastic mate... I'm a film student! in my 4th year of Film Studies!!!

    Site looks fantastic! also the random images rotation is very cool effect and PunBB is perfect for the site, i dont think you should put PhpBB or vBulletine...

    Great job!!!!

    @KatGirl:
    Any chance you could send me a screenshot, I've tested in IE6 and it looks ok to me...

    @mindfeck:
    The main image on the homepage is coded into index.php, the images on other pages are generated by the_content in single.php. They are absolutley positioned to pull them out of the main column.

    @pumatalk:
    Glad you like it. Any thoughts on the best places to promote the site? Which sites do film students regularly look at?

    I went back and checked using IE6 and the footer shift seems to have fixed itself.

    Good work, btw
