I am doing just a quick review on this site:

1. Your content on the home page needs a major edit. The following Paragraph is copied from the page.

Welcome all , we here at screwed computer are trying to make computer help free for everyone of all skill levels by offering a friendly community forum where you can come ask a question to a computer question no matter how silly you may think it is and we will endevour to find an answer to your question by searching our community vaste range of knowledge and skills to find answer, if we can't find an answer within our vaste knowledge in the community we will search the internet far and wide to help you solve your problem.

2. I don't care for the scrolling "New in Forums Box.

3. Your Search Box is out of place -- to the right of what I assume is the right side of your page. (I am using Firefox).

4. Page is to wide -- scrollbar at 1024 x 786.

That's all I bothered to look at.

I didn't review any of the posts so I am not judging the quality of the help that is provided in any way.

1. Use external CSS.

2. Use external Javascript.

3. Don't make scroll horizontally. I hate that.

4. Find someone who is literate in English to help you.

I would definately advice you to take a professional advice.
Your website needs a complete revision.

How would you change the front page, what do you mean the whole site needs revision like layout ? Template ? Advice on how to fix it would be appreciated :)

my commnets on ur site

1) Header is simple and nice
2) why there is a blue patch on left and right column headings?(new in formums, user info etc.)fix it
3)Remove the white background of enter image or change that image
4)Horizontal Scrolling should not be there, try to remove that, and bring the "search topic part" above the new in forums

Your site is not clear in what it is meant for.
a) This site is not at all search engine friendly.
b)The copy on your site is very normal.
c) Webdesign doesnot make any sence to the user. Very confusing for where it has to be clicked. WebUsibility is not at all taken care for.
Just for example you have a small picture of enter looks like its meant to be clicked but you have a link just below to be clicked. These are important points for web design. These flaws really hinder conversions and chances of getting repeat visitors.
d) Why there are so many links like a directory at the bottom? What do you expect from your user?

You might be having good concept here, but this site is not the way for that.
