Great tutorial!
I will use some of the info, but no matter how much money NeutralizeR is making off his forum, nothing will convince me to make my members suffer like that. Sorry man, the site is plain shocking. I care about my members far too much to make them go through an epileptic-fit-inducing experience like your site. My browser struggled to scroll down!
Anyway, at least you've given us lots of examples to check out, very much appreciated!
