First off, thanks to everyone that gave feedback/input and help towards the new look of the forum. Please bear in mind that it's still a work in progress and that I consider the layout ver.05. When the temp proboards site that I use to test on migrates over to v4, I'll prolly change the look again to be much more cohesive.
That said, I'd like to request some changes so that we can keep a sense of consistency across the forum.
1. Please keep all sigs to be no more than 525px wide, 300px tall. This means *cumulatively*. If you have more than one pic in your sig, your total width should be within 525 px wide.
2. If you're going to post pics inline (meaning, within the post), then please format your pic before you post to 525 wide please. This will also help the forum members that are still on dial-up so that they don't have to download these huge pictures just to check a board. If you cannot do this, please post a link to the picture. We'll let it slide for a week for people to adjust but after that, we'll either modify the post to a link or outright delete the post for repeat offenders. Thanks in advance for your compliance.
Lastly, some of you have asked why we decided to make the board a fixed width. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is because industry standard for width is geared towards users with 800x600 resolution. We all know how annoying it is to have to scroll sideways when there's a huge pic so I think it's a small price to pay to have more space on the left and right if the majority can read everything, width-wise on one screen. The second reason is that because we wanted go with a themed look. If we made the tables so that they scaled 100% to width, other elements would be lost or comprimised.
This board wouldn't be what it is without all of you so thanks again for your support. We've got some big things planned so stay tuned.
