If you put the warning below the enter link why even have it? A few lines of well worded warning can work to your advantage. Think of it as your opportunity to tease the surfer, telling them exactly what they'll find inside.

What Preacher pointed out on your other site still holds true to your newer one.

- Your graphics are pushing the width of your site beyond 750 pixels, so now you've got a scroll bar when viewing at 800 pixels screen size. Scroll bar = BAD.

- The tags <th></th> should really be <td></td>.

Ill add my 2 cents.

Your index / warning page doesnt have any text on it. Even though its debatable if surfers read blocks of text search engine spiders do. Ive been told the real goal of a free site builder is search engine traffic (and of course sales), so the extra time you spend adding a bit of custom relevant text is probably a good thing. Also, you are allowed 3 outgoing links per page, your index only has 1. Id add at least one more somewhere near the top so the surfer see's it when they first enter your site.

Main page has 5 outgoing links. Youre allowed 3 links to sponsors + hub + whatever (not counting to galleries and / or clear 2257 page) on each page. Your mian page also has no unique text. A few days ago I did some search engine research on a fellow GG & Jim free sites submitter. I noticed that the main page of his sites are listed sometimes instead of the index / warning page. Not a TON but enough for me to think that a little search engine optimization and search engine spider food on the main and gallery pages is worth the extra effort.

Gallery pages also have too many outgoing links on them and no unique text.

Im probably overplaying the unique text / search engine aspect but its just a suggestion. I dont even pretend to know how SE's choose who and what to list but I think unique text on a site you want to get search engine traffic to is a good thing.

so i have to make even smaller pictures. i thought it's ok, but looks like they're still to big. will work on that.

WarBot what "unique text" means? can you maybe describe it a bit? im kinda new around here so im not so familiar with these terms yet

and i think i've fixed number of outgoing links. i thought we are allowed 3 banners + text links. my bad it was. although page wasnt rejected on linklists ... looks like i was playing with my luck
