HowdA All,

Thought I would pop in and ask for some feedback on the my site.
Alex at www.directpixel.com has been working several months on a new skin that I personally think kicks massive butt cheeks. He is in the final stages of tweaking a few more teeny tid bits... but it is more than presentable with the great work he has done so far.

Aside from VB (of course) I have the following ditties installed:

vBadvanced portal & links system (I highly recommend both. Had another popular portal page before, but this one is the best I have used yet). The links system is good (have just put it up), but retweaked layout just slightly to clean it up a bit.

I was going to install the Article system hack I found on here, but many of the features were overkill for me (featured articles) and I was turned off by the fact that the search engines were not linked so I tweaked my own templates and added a couple lines of code so that all designated forums look and act like the article system, but are really just normal threads (and as such are searchable). I must admit that the article format was heavily inspired by the author of the article hack though. I really dug the layout.

I have Photopost integrated. I am not over the moon with it, but pretty close. My users dig it. I also retweaked the hack for users to insert photopost pics into their posts which works a treat.

I have Quizshock integrated (though I am not overly impressed with it... if anyone has any other recommends, I am more than welcome to hear them).

I have integrated bios for premium members. Most seem to dig those (click Site Stuff-> Geek profile).

I have the phpspell hack from here installed for premium members (pretty good)

I have Hivemail integrated, though I am not overly impressed with them right now. In all fairness Scottie is working hard at trying to sort out my problems, but they seem to only resond to support tickets when you jump up and down about them.

I also have SigmaChat integrated with the site. My users like this one far better than my previous one. I also retweaked the templates so that I could get an acurate listing of who is online without querying their counters (that too works a treat).

There are also loads of little tweaks here and there that I am quite proud of.

Once again, I am must chuffed with the work Alex has done. He has given my site a very unique look and feel.

Any ideas, comments (good or bad) are very appreciated.

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