Well, not an issue as such, but something that I've always considered a minor annoyance that I just wanted to flag up-
When navigating to the Homepage of the Dead forums via the main site, the navigation bar across the top of the screen remains visible and the page URL continues to appear in Internet Explorer and Firefox as www.homepageofthedead.com. Of course this is because the forum appears on the site as a frame within the page, which makes sense because, after all, the forum is just one discrete chunk of the main site.
The problem is, however, that it makes it difficult to do various things while navigating the forums - not least refreshing the screen, which I often do almost automatically when using message boards, which dumps me back to the front page of the site.
Since I have started visiting regularly, I have managed to work around this by opening the page properties of the forum frame, finding the direct address of the message board (forum.homepageofthedead.com) and adding it to my favourites. As I said, it's not really an issue, it's just a little quirk that is maybe something you guys could consider if ever the site was up for a redesign (not that I think it needs one overall).
