Nice site btwI'm pretty sure there weren't a whole lot of them looking quite like that, but you're right there was a day backna day where there were alot of cookie cutter styles. This ain't one of those.:D

Six other styles to gander at by the way, in the style chooser.

I appreciate the hearts and flowers though guys.

Doesn't look bad at all, though there are a few things that I'd recommend changing...
1. Change this hover color in the WGO to the blue you used in the rest of the forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ and also https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

2. Make this the same white as the rest of the forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

3. Not feeling the icons here, seems unecessary:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

4. This banner is a little hard to read, I would use a solid white text with a stroke, but that's just me:

5. Image links are broken here on the profiles:

I like the style very much, I miss styles like this. These days all you see are flat css driven styles..lolThis style is quite unusual as it has almost all the forum images called exclusively via the additional CSS and not in the templates.

Not the same thing I know but, makes it very interesting to ever try to modify.

Oh and it's also, quite speedy and very svelte!

I always like your sites Max! I have seen this one before but have never really gone through it with a detailed view. Off the top of my head though I think it looks awesome! It definitely is very snappy too. :)

I guess that wasn't much help to you but it is my opinion so far.

I took a look at your board in IE10 on a 1920x1080 screen. The header/background looks like this.
http://multirotorplatforms.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=544&d=1396809516
I had to reduce the image down to post it here.

[Max Taxable]

Yes sometimes the header renders that way in IE 10 and 11, no clue as to why. Usually sorts itself on reload.

[ozzy47]

I hate IE!!! :mad: :down:

[Max Taxable]

I hate IE!!! :mad: :down:In 10 and 11, the header sometimes renders this way due to I suppose, the CSS used to scale the image.

If we had a dollar for every minute of time we have used trying to comply with the slave master IE, and supporting the dinosaur piece of crap, we would have more money than Bill Gates.:D

[setishock]

I went back in this morning and it was the same way. Refreshed the browser and it straightened right out.
Interesting place you have there. Tripped over a post about some guy riding a trike in the buff high on drugs. The first reply was priceless. I think I'm going to join up.

Looking good... if I may offer a couple items:

The header image...first I would set this as a background to the area using css. I prefer this method of loading in style elements (for seo, performance, etc.). Also, I believe doing that would fix the IE issue someone else mentioned because you would specify the height and width.

Also regarding the header image, I think it would look ultra slick if a gradient was applied to the edges to blend to your background on either side.

I logged in and saw the flashing forum icons... I'd be that could be done with css and no-image whatsoever and save a request or two. :) In fact, looking at other icons that could be replaced, I'd be you could get down to 35 requests on your home page for visitors.

As it sits, it's only 42 requests and 165kb.

Thanks for the look Jim!

If I get a few, I'll offer some specific help. While I've never had a vb2 board, it should be just a matter of adding some css in your head_includes template (or wherever you can add it).

Most of the work I've done on my forum is just css based.
