Well, I just got done giving my forum home a makeover. I shouldn't say "done" because it will be forever changing. Tell me what you think. It is definitely different from the norm, that's for sure. Any ideas what else should be in the new forum home? Any ideas how to make the navigation easier? Thanks!

May have just been my connection but it took forever to load.

Some suggestions:

1. Make the forums appear in either a list or a column, its sorta messy/bunched together at the moment

2. The gap on the left and right side of the main content area could be shrunk some (widen main content area)

Other than that, nice work.

it takes forever to load at the first time. so visiting your homepage takes really a long time, after you are in, everything loads as normal, site look and layout is nice, well done. I am not digging the yellow navigation bars though.

Fast loading for me.

Spread the subforums out more.

Yes. And rework your welcome graphic.

There is no hierarchy to it, it looks silly being a narrow centered image, and it pushes your content down way too far.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
