Default Got a blank page

I don't get it. I tried your URL in Netscape and IE and got nothing.

The site is ranked and search engines seem to be indexing alright so far. Site also takes hits from IE, Netscape and Mozilla.

Anyone else having this problem?

I get 100% blank in all browsers, and PR0 in IE. The source file consists of this:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
A very clean design...

This is not a joke, and I'm not putting you on. I trying to figure it out to.

I can understand your humor, wish I could laugh with you.

When I run Codelifter 5.0 I see this.

What happens if you run this outside the forum?

Know this is not the place to conduct a test, but I'm baffled!

Default it works...

Hi Greg...

The site looks great! Now that it's finally up..LOL! Ok the load time was a little slow I like the color and lay out the text was easy on the eyes...The only suggestion I have is pick the top 24 keywords and put them in order of importance, use them in your first paragraph there describing what it is your forum is there for... the reason for only 24 keywords is that's all the spiders index... so this is what they see

<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="gabbinfutures,gabbingfutures,futures,comm odities,forums,grains,
metals,currencies,softs,indices,markets,quotes,cha rts,opinions,grains,currencies,energies,
financials,indexes,meats,metals,softs,corn>

and you are probably missing out on quite a few good keywords from the rest of your list below... Like dollar, euro, british pound, yen .... go through and reprioritize to get the most bang for your buck with the search engines...

<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="gabbinfutures,gabbingfutures,futures,comm odities,forums,grains,metals,
currencies,softs,indices,markets,quotes,charts,opi nions,grains,currencies,energies,
financials,indexes,meats,metals,softs,corn,soybean s,meal,oil,wheat,barley,canola,oats,

I still get nothing. And I hope NeO~1 edits his
post to put some carriage returns in that list of
keywords because it is stretching this page to
ridiculous proportions. Maybe it's Greg's post too. I'll keep trying.

Thanks NeO~1

After hours of troubleshooting, I finally found the problem. I recently did some work on a mod rewrite array. I created my own problem. It's fixed now. Funny thing is that I could see the site from my workstation. Because I have Norton Internet Security it blocked out what the server was sending. Anyways do you think I should resubmit for a new review? I really want the feedback.

Greg

Yes, I do like the design, like a dashboard on a '70's
car. I don't mean that as a put-down, I like it.
Some of the outlines don't follow, I mean it looks a
bit M.C. Escher-like with boxes within boxes, but I'm
just being picky here...


I used that same color scheme on one of my first
sites, black to dark red gradient--very nice. I like
the chrome trim even better than what I used at that
time.


It is not too wide for my monitor at 1280, but the
smallest without side-scrolling is 1000, which
is a bit wider than average. You'd expect
though, someone trading futures could afford a big
monitor--or none at all. ;)
