Due to the IE6 Box effect problem that I have noticed with layout4free.com the same has been noticed in freepsd.com
Whilst I am fixing up the code with Layouts4free.com I will also do the same with freepsd.com, although due to other problems noted in IE6 with the way I have used transparent PNG images on the design and they are showing incorrectly as non transparent PNG I will look into another way of presenting the png images so that they don’t distort the total feel and graphical look of the new design.
But in saying that I have found the best way is to change over to Firefox or upgrade to IE7 or IE8 which will also be safer option for the security of your PC in the long run. But as 35% of most of our users to NPA media sites still uses the IE6 web browser I will look into other ways of presenting my sites.
Also note to IE 6 browser users and below I will also have a notice above each site header stating that NPA Media Sites are best optimised buy using a newer browser etc this notices will not be intrusive to the page design and flow of our sites but will act as a reinforcement of the problems associated with IE6

Hi Stuart, i wish it was that simple. With over 65% of visitors still using IE6 on FreePSD it would be a bad idea to shut them off or force them to upgrade to view the site properly. Most visitor would simply just move on to viewing another site.
