I think david's backgrounds would be nice, if they were desaturated to match the overall atmosphere of the forum. They're just too bright and colourful as is

Ok, I made a version 2.0...
Is this better?
Cheers!

Re: Forum Changes
And here is the clean version for use as a background.. (compared to the first version)
 
Cheers!
Note: I made this one a .jpg because there is no 'transparent' pixels in this version.

Re: Forum Changes
Put them on the right. Definitly. And keep them out of the threads. Definitly.
Other than that, it is nice to be able to check the news quicly.

Re: Forum Changes
Oh the temptation to post links to old dead threads...

Playing silly semantic games is only going to irritate users and customers (no wait, lets be equally foolish and call ourselves something else - what about 'Shrapnel down line testers' or 'Shrapnel co-funders').
And the boards just look ugly at the moment. |

Re: Forum Changes
Especially the sidebar. Folks, why don't you just move it to the right now, OK? Or the top, EVEN better. I think many people would greatly appreciate that.

Re: Forum Changes
The top would be terrible. There is already way too much space wasted at the top. The bottom would be fine though.

Re: Forum Changes
Ok. Bottom or right. Though I do think that for now, you should also try to compress the "we have made a change to the forum" text, perhaps skip the line breaks to avoid FOUR useless lines of text that could easily fit into one page-wide sentence instead of pushing the actual thread downwards and providing for much ugly empty space...?

Re: Forum Changes
Or put the "its not an ad bar" in between every 3rd post. It would only take up a line or two, still get your message across, but give us back all the space that is wasted.
