Looks nice. Are we able to customize the colors and such?

yes - if you all want you can look for free themes for phpBB3 and send me the links. i can then install them and we can see what they look like.

this does look better already though.

Ok, how about changing the icons on the front page of the forums that show unread posts? ----> Image

It's a little difficult to tell if there is a new message by looking at this icon. Just my personal opinion, but I kind of liked the old icon.

Also, how about a quick reply box instead of having to click POSTREPLY?

Not complaining, just giving some criticism.

I thought I was the only one having trouble tracking down new posts/active threads.

No rush Hammer, I just wanted to point out some nit picks on my end. Fix the more serious stuff first, this is at least functional.

I don't know enough about PHP to fiddle with it, so I would rather not mess around. Thanks for your efforts.

o.k. - i have installed several new styles.

please try them out, i will post a poll to see what everyone likes the best and switch the default style to that. i did some extra work on wow_alliance red (although the STO graphics need some work).

Can you PLEASE increase the Sig image size to 500w x 200h MAX? Pretty please? I really don't want to have to resize my sig images to 300x100 and then re-compile the GIFs.

Thanks,

~SB

P.S. I'm really liking the Starcraft theme. Can you maybe keep it as a choice for us to use?
