As far as the news goes, The PHP Takes posts from the database of the forums and puts it in the proper format to post on the site.
The Boxes are made with Tables. They used to be made with divs when Tux Racer made them, but i re-coded it. The site is now a Big Table. First Cell is the Image on the top. Then the second cell are the Menu Boxes. The Menu's are made with div's.
Code:
<table width=100% border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<tr><td valign='top' align='left' colspan='3'>
<img src="logo.png" height=86 width=531>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td width="35" valign='top' align='left'>
<div class="menus">
<div class="menu">Menu<br />
&nbsp; - <a href="main.php" class="menus">News</a><br />
&nbsp; - <a href="/forums/viewforum.php?f=26" class="menus">Faq</a><br />
&nbsp; - <a href="guides.php" class="menus">Guides</a><br />
&nbsp; - <a href="irc.php" class="menus">Irc Chat</a><br />
&nbsp; - <a href="/forums/" class="menus">Forums</a><br />
</div>
etc etc up to
</div>
</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td width=100% valign='top' align='left'>
