About Your Community:
Online community for the tv show "Friends" full of interactive features to keep you busy for hours and make lots of new friends. The board is themed like New York City so if you've ever wanted to live there or go for a visit, this is your chance to shop, earn and lose money and move into an apartment in NYC.

Template Mod's Installed:
The most notable one is the custom profile. I started with a custom one from here but then ended up changing it a ton so its pretty unique. It reads more like a bio than a profile.

I also have a custom Welcome Panel though its nothing too special *lol* But I edited it from the default welcome panel to get just the right look for me. You will see the forum home is not the default either. We got rid of the mods column and edited the default tables a bit.

We also installed several PM modifications. Its the standard new PM Folder look I found in vb.org but added the part from the front about how many pms they have as part of the quota box. Also the preview pms when you mouse-over them and the preview before send ones. Of course the quick-reply ... i think just about any PM hack there is *lol*

We also have a custom page in the member directory. You can view members "By Building" Now let me explain what that means *lol* When members register they are automatically sorted into a usergroup and giving access to a private forum for that group. We wanted to display who was in each building but didnt want it to clutter the Forum Leaders page so my co-admin wrote a modified version of showgroups to display all the building groups and not the admins/mods. Its pretty neat.

We also have the store hack and its so far a big hit. We got other little things here and there that you will probably recognize as you browse the board.

Anyway, I will stop now. You can go see for yourself and join if you want ;) If you do, refer Monica Bing :p You don't have to be a huge fan of the show because the board offers so much more.

Thanks for reading.
Cya,

Nice, I like the table inside the table affect. :)

I think your new post indicators might be too big though. Just IMO.

It's a very nice simple board. It is kind of tough for me to tell if a forum is a closed forum or just no new posts however. But all in all, I like.

Yeah I have that complaint too ... specially in the night scheme but we may change the indicators. Thanks again for the comments.

I noticed that too, but sometimes you can tell when there are new posts in it. But I think it needs to be changed.

Thanks for joining. Glad you like it :) If you have suggestions for the template customizations, let me know. I really want to redo the postbit ... just want something different but got no idea what to go with *shrug*

I think you should firstly seperate each post, then add some graphics to the top/bottom like here.
