Website Improvements, Question is are they any good?

[Mohron]

Here's my current site home page
http://www.mohron.net/

Now here is what I have been working on for the last month or so to replace it.
http://www.mohron.net/beta/

The home page is the only page I have moved over to the new template. The main differences are; the new template is valid XHTML 1.1, it loads a lot faster (old vs. new), the images have been optimized, and the navigational menu is no longer reliant on JS. The current logo is just there as a place holder for now (a new logo is in design) and I'm trying to find out how to center the nav menu vertically with it(vertical-align css prop doesn't seem to work).

Opinions on the changes, tips to fix the few bugs, and other comments are welcome. Thanks for any help, your time and efforts are greatly appreciated.

KNOWN BUGS: The menu doesn't work in IE 6?? & The drop down list for the theme selector I can't seem to get to submit onchange anymore.

You beta theme layout seems to be cluttered.
When i tried to change the site theme to green from the drop down list, it gives me a forbidden error.

When i tried to change the site theme to green from the drop down list, it gives me a forbidden error.

The problems with the drop down list was noted in my original post. It does not seem to act the same across the different browsers. FF it does nothing, IE 7 it ads this to the url instead of open the link

?theme=http%3A%2F%2Fs.mohron.net%2Fsettheme.php%3Ft%3Dgreen

If anyone knows an XHTML 1.1 valid approach that will work to submit the form onchange in the major browsers, I'm game.

UPDATE: I got it to work in IE 7 and Opera but still no go on FF or safari
Edit:
Okay, I've made progress on the theme changer. Now the problem is that it doesn't seem to function in IE 7 correctly but it functions partly(go back and refresh the theme changes). FF 3, Safari, and Opera all function as planned.

You use Sothink dont you? I got em, great

Yeah your theme select isnt that great - it just changes the colour of the background and buttons.

Your buttons arent nice atall - i never use times new roman or any letter fonts. Also try to use divs
