It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

The Forum icon (direct link)  is added to all of the websites.

Good Catch.

Just a quick glance.... Looks like two Facebook images, both labeled NFOA, but one is the PAF but no Twitter link.
Follow the NFOA on Twitter: @NFOA_Official

Photos in the banner on the top are very blurry.  Using Google Chrome if that helps.

I enhanced the pictures and replaced them. The file size was big. I needed to compress the files for the header. See if it is better. On my screen (google chrome) it looks clear.

The Organization Information Pull down menu
allows bleed through from the page below it and some parts are some what unreadable.

I'd suggest moving it to a different location in the menu listing or change it to a non transparent font type or color

FYI.

Also currently all the Icons are in a line up straight up and down right below all the text in IE 11.
(just in case you wanted to have them line up on the right side of the text like the forum.)

Is there a resources section?  I'm thinking something like a compilation of peer-reviewed journals and other well-written Pro-RKBA resources that we can use when lobbying senators, etc.  Many of them have been cited here in forum posts but they're hard to find on short notice.

Similar thoughts for a resources section:  a "where to shoot" area?  I originally found the NFOA by doing a Google search along those lines when moving back to Nebraska.  And maybe a "how to shoot" section with third party videos like jthhapkido's excellent ones.  With the usual disclaimers needed for third party links.

The all-white page design makes it hard to differentiate between the main text of the page and the column on the right with the advertisements and calendars, etc. Adding color to one column or the other may help?

This section would fit best in the http://nfoapaf.org/ website (political action fund) There is a section called "Research/ Information". More can be added. Supply an example of Pro-RKBA resources from forum.

I have stacked the icons at the bottom of the content page.
