drupal has a lot of benefits and possibilities, but it's quite rigid and needs extensive testing from various computers and circumstances. then it needs a lot of tweaking to make it work propperly - like for example forums.
stranglely enough default settings in themes are not really that good.
But i guess updating and such should be simplified a lot for those that do it.
and the whole idea is that you login to site and that login is connected to forums. so when you click on forum login it should really turn you to the site login instead. but a lot of steps need to be made to make it work like that.
and yes - testing should be done more thoroughly. on IE (still the most used browser), Firefox and Opera at least. certain things are not really that hard to miss. like the "dedicated to classic dosgames" text on higher resoluton, the news text jumping to bottom of page in IE when the right side is wider.
then you have issues where admin sees the site is different that user. imagine that. i wouldn't believe it if i didnt' see it with my own eyes... so it really needs to be tested a lot, under many different variations of site.
also were commercials planned to be in between the text? if so why? makes it hard to ready and just makes commercials annoying instead of interesting to look at.
