Some people have told me that they are having problems navigating around my site due to organizational issues.

Tell me what you think I should do to improve it. Thanks.

I'd have to say, its that "navigation" on the right, which confuses me as to why you'd have the top naviagation if you have the one on the right.

I'd either scrap the top, or scrap the right.

Looks fine to me - my only slight 'confusion' was with the way menu items on the right are nested. For example - News under Enigma could be News FOR enigma, or just poor CSS layout and sitewide news. Same for News [beta/gallery/ugernt]. Maybe tweak the CSS to make it clear they are subsections?

I mean thats me LOOKING for a problem - the site itself looks and works fine.

Side suggestion: Enable Wordpress's feature to make 'clean' url's. I cant remember precisely where it is but it makes the site FAR more accessible and Search Engine friendly.

EDIT: Oh and get a Favicon hehe

Something I noticed is that the navigation is not exactly highlighted in any way, and as it's not in the standard position(s) its not easy to spot. Might sound stupid but it's a basic web design error.

Plus you have two sets of navigation. The only time you should have more than one is where the second is a sub-set of the first. Otherwise it's just confusing.

Anyway I found myself around fine, what are people moaning about? lol.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was thinking about scrapping the top navigation because in my opinion the navigation on the side looks better.

I agree, I thought it looked like that but some of the other members of my team said nobody would notice. lol

Really, just make it known that its the navigation. Like A "Hey Look at the navigation of here!" Hehe. I donno.
