This is just a boring ol' general discussion forum I made about a year ago for me and some friends. It's grown pretty decent, but still just a middling board at best. The frontpage software I use is Joomla, but it's newly installed and I haven't got it exactly like I want it yet. And, for the record, I highly recommend Joomla; I use it on other sites of mine in conjunction with SMF (www.ageofantiquity.com and www.spacebuffs.com). I really wish vB could be integrated with Joomla's database as easily as SMF.

Anyhoo, feedback is always welcome. I realize the theme I created might not be to everyone's tastes...I went for a "groovy" sort of feel. :cool:

Think it's a really fun style! I love the textures, you don't see that a lot.

Cheers

Wow! Very nice theme. I think that has to be one of the most visually appealing themes I've ever seen. I look at most of these "forum commenting" threads but I have to say this is the first time I've ever been driven to leave a reply...:)

Very well done!

High praise, indeed...many thanks, SgtTechHead!

I do some freelance website and graphic design as well as vB and SMF forum skinning on the side, but I'm afraid I'm a big ignoramus when it comes to flash design and programming; that puts me out the running against a lot of the full-time professional designers. More and more people want flash buttons, logos and headers these days. :ermm:

I'm not one for big icons, but the overall design and theme are great - very nice work. :)

Thanks, Chris. I'm a 40x40 kind of guy myself. :p

Bumping to get some feedback on the new custom navbar I created.
