It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

Most of it is broken. It really isn't ready for launch.

It's really slow. Reponse times are above 2 seconds.

If you want it reviewing I'd advise opening features to non-registered users, because I for one aren't giving away my details just to test your site for you.

It's painfully slow. You have included CSS and javascript inline with the content. None of the javascript files are compressed I imagine. When you redirect users to the login page, sometimes they end up in a continuous redirect loop. You've a lot of work to do.

wow!! what a wonderful, thorough and constructive post. :x
Really, there's a HUGE amount wrong with it. There's too much broken stuff for me to bother listing it all. Some things:

1. Virtually nothing was available to browse. Why sign up to something without knowing what you're signing up for?
2. The Error page layout is broken (content starts halfway down the page)
3. Most pages are HUGE. They're about 45kb of HTML. And the code is nasty table layout crap.
4. The Events page goes into a redirect loop.
5. The User Register code lets people register names that are used as URL rewrites (I registered 'forum' as a user).
6. The User Register code threw an exception error when I entered a slightly unusual email address ( http://www.ooer.com/onion/b2h.jpg )
7. User pages have layout issues (eg, mouse over the link to the photo gallery makes the photo move)

Seriously, don't leave it online in the state it's in at the moment. Take it offline and fix it or you'll just put off loads of potential users.

Following is returning no results:
...
while this is:
...
Similar for 'forgot password', after what 'email sent' is displayed. If they are not escaping these then I assume they aren't nowhere.

How can pages that only show a "You're not signed-in" error be that slow!
