That's pretty good work! If I had to make a suggestion though, it would be to use your space a little better. At the moment the home page looks a little lopsided with all of the content on the left. Scratch has everything centered with plain space around it, and sites like Google or Facebook do a good job of using the entire screen. I recommend either of those.
Edit: here's a picture to see what i mean. On the top is the original site, on the bottom is the site with another <center> tag.

I see you have Notepad++.
I agree.

I'd recommend not using center tags at all and just using some margin:auto

When I use margin it screws up the upcoming thing.

Well, you still shouldn't use center tags. They're deprecated.

Eh.

The new color scheme is nice now, but I might find a different text color because whit against such light colors is hard to see.

Yeah
I was about to change it to black

Looks pretty nice for a beginner (which I assume you are). I haven't seen the old layout but the current one looks good - only complaint I have is that the left nav bar is quite hard to read, due to you using a light cyan BG with white text. All the other nav bars look fine, you could change it to that color.
I should look a little more into intermediate HTML and CSS, but CodeAcademy only has the very basics and as for W3Schools... Well, there's a whole site pointing out it's faults.

(...) It is a good habbit to always open and close tags (...)
Code:
<html> <head> <!--this is where head scripts would go <body> <h1> and body scripts would go here </h1> <hr> </head> </body> </html>
Isn't this necessary, more than a habit? You can't put the close tag wherever you want either - in your code you're putting the body inside the head, and closing the head before the body. Might be that I'm used to scripting/programming languages (Lua, Java), so I'm not sure if this can be done in HTML, but I believe that isn't very good practice either
<html> <head> </head> <body> </body> </html>
That's better. c: funelephant's page's source code looks fine to me using Inspect Element, though.

Yeah
It got deleted, so I re-programmed the whole front page in like 5 minutes.
I already had the CSS though

I figured out how to embed the funelephant forums into the website!
If you post from the website link, it will show up on the original punbb-hosted forums!
And vice versa.

Nice website! I would suggest adding something like
#wrapper { width: 1024px; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center; }
to your CSS and placing everything inside your body tag inside a div with the ID "wrapper". This will give your website a standard width. Also, remove all of the center tags: this code does that too.
