As Tripnologist said download the software!!
Nuke evo is open source and better than vbadvanced IMHO, having been with it from the start almost, ive find it the most secure and easy to use , sry tripnologist :p
Sure you can go and learn html and css but believe me theres plenty of php coding you will be learning if you want to start modding from a basic version of Evo !

Although i wouldnt recommend just googling themes as there can be many minor differences with the versions.
If you want me to sort you out with hosting i can do a free install getting it up and ready for use ..
ill even throw in a free theme with matching header to go with whatever game it is your focusing on unless you prefer to source your own .;)
Ive been a staff member on a couple of Evo theme design sites so have a very wide range of themes available .. ziondesignz.com
 
Hada lok at http://www.thefallenunit.co.uk/css page.htm - 1280px wide!!!!!!!!

Have also personally found middle aligned text to be annoying to read.

You also need shooting for this - a div with an id, 3 classes AND a huge inline style):

Code: 
<div id="panl910twsmy" class="pnl hid abs" style="left:0px; top:213px; width:1037px; height:862px; border-width:1px;
 border-style:solid; border-color:#808080; background-color:#000000; opacity:0.72; -ms-filter:'alpha(opacity=72)';
 filter:alpha(opacity=72);"></div>

Not that I have sound on my laptop at work, but I see a sound file embedded within your code :rolleyes:

Websites shouldn't be designed at a width greater than around 960px if you want to cater for lower resolutions.

1280px wide would require someone viewing at 1024x768 to horizontal scroll - do not want.

When coding sites using css, the idea is take away as inline stying, attributes, etc etc from the html - to keep everything semantic. For a div you should really have something like the following

Code: 
<div id="Box" class="RedBorder">
and not

Code: 
<div id="panl910twsmy" class="pnl hid abs" style="left:0px; top:213px; width:1037px; height:862px; border-width:1px;
 border-style:solid; border-color:#808080; background-color:#000000; opacity:0.72; -ms-filter:'alpha(opacity=72)';
 filter:alpha(opacity=72);"></div>
This way all your code is contained in a cachable (??) css file and will keep the size of your actual webpage down. It's also seriously ugly and lazy from a developer's pov.

As for your insanely large image well that's all about accessibility. E.g. if you have a fairly large monitor (17" plus in this case) then you can view the site fine. However, I'm viewing it from a 15" laptop and have to scroll horizontally to view your webpage - this a big no no :)

Your 'mate' has obviously just been lazy and designed a site that looks good at his resolution and nothing below.

EDIT: just noticed the 2 meg background too :)
 
Well i am viewing it from a 19inch monitor and it looks fine on here, on top of that the loading times are very quick on all pages.

As i said i'm not looking at it from a Dev's point of view as i cant write or read code. The code you've given is double dutch to me lol, dont where i'd put it.

I think it works well for what we want, i need to make some changes to the BF page things.

Cheers for the help.

A 19" monitor will most likely have a resolution above 1280px, so it will look fine. Try lowering your screen resolution.

Loading times are likely to be quick as you have all the files cached.

Tbh, even if the site loaded instantly (which it doesn't), there's no reason at all to be using a 2MB png file for the background - compressing it takes a few seconds at most.
