Yeah, here it is, I promised I will show you where am I with that. Feel free to comment. I still have to change overall colours of the forums (tables, background, and buttons) and probably add few more icons. I will also need to tweak CSS, remove unnecessary stuff, change some properties, etc. Anyway, it's still in alpha phase ;)

Anyway, here's what I've done already:

- Few images removed, and most of them are optimised (ie. every one of them weights between 50-180b.)
- New logo (?) / made by own hands, no copying :), I've got Corel Draw file and PSD if anyone will want to use/modify it
- New menu (I still need to work on that, though)
- New buttons, /with small images, yeah, I didn't want it to be abother failure like with my old style, I think that 100b per image won't do much difference, and it will look much nicer
- Removed several panels that usually aren't used by users and slow the page down (still, need to find more and delete them)
- Still, I'm not finished yet :)

I like the colors of the icons you chose, easy on the eyes.

The navigation menu will be nice like that, but shouldn't we have a dropdown search like the default vB so users can choose to search threads, posts, and how would a new user find where to use advanced searching options? Will it still have the quicklinks dropdown as well?

I think a nice light green color like used for the buttons would look nice, but the logo would have to be changed to fit the style. About the logo, it's not bad, but I think it needs a little work, the V seems kind of cartoonish. What about maybe letting our members create a logo for us? Give them the dimensions needed, file size, and let them try to create something, sort of like what GYSN did with their board.

Looks like your off to a good start though, keep us updated on the progress. :)

I will add a menu button to search options, the one included is with default settings (as most users use just that).

Sure, I will add a small text saying *Temporary Logo* after I will finish and update the board, and then we will announce a logo contest. File size will not be a problem, as I will compress it after anyway :)


Actually, I will give you a link, so that you can check the progress regurally

It is pointless to add a Log In button, right next to the login box ;) So I just removed it when u r guest, and it shows up when u r logged in.

Here is a test user
Login= Tester
Pass= heyhohohoo
