Hello all,

I know I have posted here before and I thank everyone for their comments. This time around I was more experienced with the coding, and our Graphix Wizard Caelux 1 went above and beyond anything he has ever done before. We are extremely proud of this new look and we believe it will take our site to a whole new level. So please check it out and let us know what you think.

PS Check out the postbit area's too. Everything has been revamped!

Thanks in advance guys!

PSS You can see how far we have come by using the style chooser to select old syles ;)

First of all you have a scrollbar at 800 X 600 resolution - that's the biggest no-no in design anyone can make considering most people online today are still running at this low resolution :)

Hello Dean,

Thanks for your response. We do support our 800 x 600 friends with our 2.1 theme, and are already in process of version 3.1 for our low res people. Hell our graphics guy uses 800 x 600 so we kind of have to support it :p

Other than that Dean, how did you like the site?

The site has achieved the goal of clearly stating what the forums are for: x-box gaming.

Congratulations on the achievement;

I don't care for the style variations' colors, but that's just my opinion. Also, I totally agree with Dean, the fact even some of the styles are not fit for 800x600 resolutions is a bad idea.

That's my input.

It's not too bad. If i'm being honest I find some of the gradients and graphics a little too amateurish. The header looks fine but I'd try and rework the category headings and bottoms. The gradients aren't very smooth and that gives a bad look :) Also you only have two contrasting colors within the design. White and blue. I'd try introducing another color to take the contrast and viewers eyes away from all this blue and white everyhere ;)

Best of luck with the site! :D
