No spots for us retired folks? ;)

There's plenty. What exactly would you want me to add if I missed something?

Profile options are for active duty. How about some retiree love? LOL

I don't have a retired flag :(. If you make a post and look in the postbit, I have that to where it displays the users branch via a waving flag. Looks pretty cool in my opinion

It also shows in your profile ;)

Yep.. But in the profile it asks what branch I'm in. I'm NOT in. LOL

You could put "None", it's the last option on there

The forum link in the navbar isn't working correctly.
Also maybe it'd be an idea to change the default skin to one of the others you have.

What do you mean? Which style is it not working right in?

The default one.

It's missing a ? after the index.php bit so it's showing as

......./index.phps=398729347293847
instead of
......./index.php?s=2423874029384729

Fixed, thank you

Changed the style as well

Only "forum" link is from the "home" page. All pages within the forum show Home rather than Forum, forcing users to go to the portal page. Bad ju-ju.

Oh... Put the option to turn reputation off back in the profiles. I HATE reputation systems! :D

Some various typos as well. I'll make a list. :D

Typos? In what section(s)?

Should read veteran's

Change NWS to NSFW (NWS is National Weather Service :D )

Change post to read posts

Thats singular isn't it? veterans' meaning more than one?

It is correct as far as the Queen's English is concerned. :D

However, Veteran's Benefits is also correct. Just looks better IMO. All depends on how you want it to read, I guess. ;)

Ok, fixed

May also want to establish prefixes for the forums, especially NSFW.

AdminCP -> Forums and Moderators -> Thread Prefixes (all on the left side). :)

Do you have any suggestions for other forums?

Keep what you have for now. Better to start off with too few than too many. :)

Olnly something small but I would move the home link in front of the register one and also maybe the forums one.

I changed my mind. Possibly a "Looking for Member" forum where folks can post who they're looking for. I've been out for over 10 years now and have lost contact with quite a few buds.

Fixing that now. Thanks

Gotcha. Will have that done later

Ok, I created a forum called "Missing In Action"

Too generic, change the default vbulletin calendar icon for something custom and in theme with the rest of your custom icons. Visually/layout is another average military forum. I would have went for a saturated colour theme but that's just me.

Ditto that!

Jacquii.

1. I like the tcat bar images, enlisted.php and officer.php

2. Not a fan of the forum status images, they look old.

3. Lot of copyright text piled up looks ugly. Either properly align them sideways or buy brand-free. :D

4. Your modified Scroll To Top isn't working in the footer.

5. Work on the icons.

6. HOME should be the first link in navbar. Exchange places with Register link.

7. URL to Forums is invalid from Gallery.

8. The right sidebar on portal is too wide. Better make the center column wider.

btw nice green username you have there, I thought advisors were retired. How do we get that? :p

I think it looks pretty good, the only thing I would change would be to take the purple (default VB color) out from the body and add a light silver or something.

It looks good to start. Tho in the future you might want to follow Shelley's advice above.

Good luck with your new place! My late hubby and ex hubby are both veterans, and I hold the highest regard for those who have served our country in the armed forces.

Fixed by putting them in a scroll box :)
Which style? I have never modified the "scroll to top" and they all work fine for me
