STOnet, sidebar'd

[Caiman]

Hey all, I guess I'm just showing off the new right hand sidebar I put up on the forum. I know it's hardly anything special but eh, after a lot of effort getting it going I just wanted to say 'Eh, have a look!'

Hah, I use a style from extremepixels, though it's modified quite a bit, icons, header, navbar, width, sidebar, font colours etc.

Have a look over it if you will, let me know what you think of the forums as a whole. Cheers!

Special thanks to Kenj over at http://www.gfxstyles.com for the help with making latest posts work.

The logo is very nice, you got the font down perfectly, and using the conference room is the perfect backdrop.

You have a good amount of forums for your traffic and they are well named and organized. Forum Icons and buttons all fit with the theme perfectly and tie in very well with the site.

The "What's Going On?" box is wider than the area above it, due to the side bar on the right. For some reason this just looks odd to me. Not sure if there would be a good way to fix it without wasting the space, or if it needs to be fixed.

THe one thing I would suggest is ether lightening up the fonts a bit or implementing a lighter version of the skin. The Grey on Grey can be an issue on some monitors or with some people.

In all you have a wonderful looking site with a excelent amount of traffic, great job :)

The what's going on box is intentionally that wide, (default width) indeed... I'm probably going to fill the space in the sidebar to meet up with it to make it look better- I'd rather it filled the space than ledt an even larger empty grey space beneath the sidebar. Thanks for the comments :)
