Bear with the quirks for the next couple of hours.

Thanks!

I've noticed. The layout kept on changing on me.

We are working in integrating the base website with the forums. What will happen for the next couple of days is that you will see a new look on the forums. In a day or two, we will open up the option in your Profile to select the old look if you want, but as I said the selection of appearances will be diabled for a short time.

Thanks to Middle Earth for putting it all together!

Thought i'd gone crazy!

Side note, the forums seem to be aligned to the left on my screen, dunno if that's on my side or yours though.

The smileys have gone a bit haywire methinks... but I suppose you'll find a way to fix that?

I based the page width on 800 pixels, typically the lowest resolution used. If you have the screen at a much higher resolution (which a lot of new pcs can handle quite easily) it will looked left-aligned. If it causes too many problems, it can be adjusted easily enough.

Yep, I think I know whats happened to the smileys. They will be back in asap.

Using percentages are cool too, sets out the page according to the resolution viewed.

Yep I had them set to percentages, but reworked the layout today and I think Dreamweaver reset them to fixed widths. Will fix it in the next update.

Let me say that the new forum structure looks good. The white on the black is much easier to read. Thanks for taking the time to work on this Drekkan.

LOVE the new look!

However, the Black on Grey is not so easy to read. Can we get white text on the quotes too?

Uh, looks like a lighter grey than before. Guess it's been tweaked already.

LOVE IT!!

I'd keep the page at the current standard of 800, though change the alignment from left to centre

just makes a cleaner page, better use of the white... err black space

OR we could do a poll ^^
See how many users have the screens set to 800 by 600

Thanks for listening
