Good use of the double navigation bar. I've seen that way used a number of times, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you pull it off well with this style.

Just below the navbar you have this text

The first bit, which is in a blue font, is impossible to read on a black background, so I would lighten that up significantly.

Good use of the postbit_legacy. I really like your online/offline icons. Also the random gallery images everywhere except the portal and forumhome are very well used.

Finally, one thing I did notice, your links on your navbar (the breadcrumb bit) is not correctly configured. Clicking on your forum title returns me to your portal not your forumhome. It's easy to fix, there is a setting in your vBOptions for the filename of your forums index. You just need to update it from index to vb3index and it will then work correctly.

Thank you so much for your detailed evaluation! That's awesome! It means a lot to me. I really learned a lot in so little time. And I have you folks to thank. Thank you for the breadcrumb tip. I had some members asking me about that. I will check the vbulletin opions for that setting. This would be a great fix.

As for the Blue Topic. I really would like to change that. But simply do not know how. It was a hack so maybe there are color settings in the hack itself????? I have to look into that.

Thanks for the postbit legacy input. We do offer our members many style choices and we are testing the hacks in the default one you see when you first come to the site. Once we decide on which hacks we like we will add them to the other styles.

Yeah, we needed that extra navigational bar. The way things are going we may need to add a third at the bottom perhaps. I ran into that hack over the weekend!

Thanks again for your input, it was greatly appreciated!

- The are where you have new threads listed should be in a table so that it's more legible.

- Postbit is nice, put together well.

- Background i'm not to fond of. However, it works well with this skin.

Hi there! Thanks for the input. I must say the header is our biggest weakness. The header on my screen appears to go across the entire page but I recently saw on another computer it is quite tiny and really needs work. I am not certain I understand how you have a navigation bar on the header.

Also, is there a hack where the header will stretch out to the size of the person's computer that is viewing the site? That would be great if there is.

Again, thanks so much for checking out the site!
