Care to review my new site?

[allmusicsearch]

Everything is loading fine for me. 

[thentavius]

Thanks. When I click, it hangs and hangs. Been doing it off and on for a week.

try running a tracert from your PC to your site (type tracert plasticpumpkin.com at the command line).

It took 18 hops to get to it.

I just ran a trace from dnsstuff.com (their server is located in Virginia) and there was a timeout at:

205.178.191.10 AS6245
NETWORK-SOLUTIONS [Timeout] 0 miles [+0] 245 CA Unix: 2:19:04.236

The 2nd trace there was congestion at netsol too.

Everything from NY is fine though (and your site is loading fast)

[thentavius]

Thanks, BBH.

I'm getting really sick of the Network Solutions congestion. I'll be calling them tomorrow.

I bet I'm going to have to do the site all over again--this time with software and Dreamhost.

[stardust]

Super fast here in ABQ.

Ditto the fast in NY on both our cable and DSL connections.

OK! Still working on the new X Cart site, but here's a preliminary draft.

I'm having trouble with the way it displays in IE.

If you have both FireFox and IE, can you please do me a favor?

In Firefox, the site looks OK. It fills the screen up just fine. The center table (with the square department icons) stretches to both of the side column menus nicely:
http://www.plasticpumpkin.com/store/xcart/home.php

If you look at this same page in Internet Explorer, however...

There's a big vacant column between the left orange menu and the start of the department icon table. 

I've tried tweaking the table size, templates, and everything I can think of. There's still a big ugly white gutter between the left menu and the square graphics table in Internet Explorer. FireFox looks great, though...??

[BellisimaJ.]

It's looking good in FF but I am seeing the vacant column on the left side. Did you try validating your code at W3? It's great at catching coding errors.

PS//How do you like x-cart at this point?
