Looks excellent. Only downside was the actual Banner.

You wouldnt know it said Arizona, unless you had told me

Live in Arizona so thought I'd have a look.

First, the things that stick out. Your forum time is GMT? Arizona is GMT -7 and what's up with your currently active 186 users? Your total members that have visited today mod shows ten visits. I think the left column log in box is redundant and finally, you're on version 3.72 and may have a lot of work to upgrade to 3.8x?

I like your left to right gradient tcat's, the textures in the postbit. The orange gradient panel surrounds are nice and give me some ideas to try on my own board and I do like what you've done with the "We are Sun Devils" section (Joomla FPSS?). The "find tickets" thing you've done is kind of interesting as well. Your new posts and no new posts icons look good but could maybe be a little smaller, however, they do make the height of all your forums the same. This does make forums with only one line of description and no subforums a little airy though.

I'm not a fan of your Top 5 Stats section above the forums but guess it's okay for a quick look at what's hot? As far as content goes, it's ASU, man, so Go Sun Devils!

In closing, I like it. It's technically way beyond anything I could do. :up:

That was designed purposely, as ASU is in bold letters behind the "Sun Devil Talk" text -- There's also the school mascot which is meant to stand out as is... So didn't want to overwork it.

It is a very nice redesign Jeff - Looks like sweetness!

Jacquii.

thanks Uber. the 186 users is because of the fake users hack. yup, FPSS.

and about Top 5 stats, I tried to put it at the bottom, but I just couldnt do it. my eyes have been so accustomed to seeing the 5 latest threads that I just need to see it. I know its not the most wise position seeing how users already have to scroll past FPSS but its just a personal preference I cant do without.

thanks for your input.
