Thanks for the link.
Now that I know it is plugin I am a little reluctant to do it as I don't want to increase the load time too much.
I do a lot of caching, optimizing and yes cloudflare. With my ads not running and no gallery images loading in the forum page it is a LOT lower but I am willing to live with the performance hit for those two.

That is how I have it set up now with one image for the top and one for the bottom and then those two images are fully optimized. :)

No it's funny how I was just thinking about slanted ads, I view your site there it is then BAM I mouseover and it correts itself and enlarges - I like that what script/code are you using to accomplish that if I may ask?

Also I liked the old version of the site and the new version... the newer version is not *quite* as clean-cut and crisp as the old one but you're getting there, nice work all-around I say ;).

Its a small script. You can run a webpage test on my site and see what it adds.


I'm doing that banner ad with css...no script on those. I think it would be easy to overdo it with the slants. I decided not to do it in the header area because of the controls in the upper right corner of the page. But I think it works well down there at the bottom. Its also on my showthread page under the first post.

I still have a long way to go to get the site back to where I was on vb3 in terms of custom forums. But its coming along. Thanks for your feedback. If you need any help with the ads, let me know. :)

My biggest problem I have with the site is how it loads the main content in the body wrapper...I think that sidebar is really slowing it down. I hate how it pauses to build that area of the site without putting the white background color in there right away. If anyone has a suggestion to improved the "perceived loading time" of that area of the site, I'm all ears.

I love those minimalist websites.

Great use of white color , a lot..lot of white spaces.

The black font is definitely take a big role here, and I love how you use <strong> bbcode to make it looks even more interesting.

The number 365 like total dates of years is also a bold element of your site.

Great site!

lol... Thanks! It took a team of web designers to come up with that minimalist look. The css work alone is awe striking. ;)

Well... I think it's anything EXCEPT "minimalist." It strikes the right balance between form and function, unlike lots of other boards we see - all garish and lurid, overdone, and load 3MB on people's browsers.

You can tell when some work and thought goes into a board, versus just slapping it up there and slapping decorations and fluff crap up on it like a drunk unemployed mop swinger would on a Christmas tree.

Max based on the small screen shot he posted, he must have visited during the few minutes when I was trying to clean out some old vb3 files and got a little overzealous this afternoon. The site was kicking some errors until I got the file re-uploaded. I'm just hoping I've got them all back in place now. So far so good.

Ahh okay. I missed the sarcasm and didn't see a screen shot. For some reason it isn't displaying for me.
