Hi

Please go to GK JS Members module and try setting Avatar size to "150".

About the font on IE i don't see any difference.

No problem ;)

Here's some observations:

From what i could saw, there's a plugin that is effecting the GK JS Members performance, but it's not a very important issue.

If you use more than one GK JS Members module, don't forget to add unique module ID to each one.

Try to release some weight on page loading. it's too much slow. If it takes too much time, Users may feel discouraged to visit the pages of your website.

Also i found some problems on joomla cache... i wonder if "Clean cache" plugin is working right.

On JS avatars i recommend that you impose pre-defined dimensions or else each one will have different sizes and it will not look so good in design terms.

Cheers ;)

Joomla! doesn't allows this option as initial page, but you might add language switcher module on frontpage or after the user logins in, he can set his default language.

Well... there might be another option.

Here's the idea:
You can use some popup box plugin (search on JED - Joomla Extensions Directory) that will display some module position with a custom module type where you display custom option url's that will redirect user. It might have some difficult level but not impossible.

Cheers

thank you so much ,,i just did what you told and i am about to add a custom module to allow users to switch to their mother tongue language :) ,,,
i have been trying to speed up my page a little bit ,,but i kinda failed so far ,,,the page is still slow,,i tried to use CSS COMPRESSION in MUSIC CITY template but it did mess up the Jomsocial Page,,,any ideas ,tips,advices to fix this one,,,i seriously took your observations and i am trying to reduce the loading page time , speed it up aswell ,,,because i think its one of the causes that my website is still getting low traffic ,,,i'll really appreciate if you at least suggest me some nice extensions that may help me speeding up the page without messing up the template
with my huge respect for you and your amazing highly professional support :)
