Matt

New forum skin now live!

Looks very nice.

The only gripe I have is that the very top is reserved for ads, but I understand that the site has to make money.

Keep it up!

The ad placement is absolutely a huge improvement over the rollover ad at the top of the old skin. The one that was always getting in the way.

Shortly after midnight I pushed the new LetsGoWings.com Forums template live. This updated includes updates across the board, from functionality to new features for some member groups. If you're experiencing any problems try refreshing/clearing your browser's cache. If you still experience issues please contact me via PM with your issue, a screenshot (if you can), and the browser type/version you're using.

There'll likely be some minor tinkering as the template is put through its paces leading up to Thursday's game against the Lightning, so feel free to leave some feedback!

(a quick note: the extra space up at the top in the white area is for the drop-down menu for the main portions of the site. since that is still a work in progress it's currently disabled, but the placeholder is there.)

Wowza! I like it! Thanks, Matt! :thumbup:

As Matt said, the best thing to do is to be a booster, trust me when i say, it is well worth the money! Not only does it help Matt, but there is a hot tub with you name on it...ph34r.gif

Hey, I'll send some more money soon, but as for the hot tub...not with these stretch marks, babe... :cool:

You young'ns have fun, though! :lol:

I'm not a fan of the white backing. I think it's too strenuous on the eyes. A darker background let your eyes relax a little more and you don't get the feeling like you're looking into a glare.

Maybe it's just me, but other forums I've used tend to have a non-white background. Just need some contrasting colors, need a break with everything being white.

I know you said you'll still be tweaking, but here's an example of keeping a white theme (it's probably more gray), but adding some depth to the separation between the posts and background:

Just a suggestion.

I like the new design!

I somewhat agree with drum, and tend to favor lighter text on darker background, but the white is a nice change from the russian look of old.

Constructive criticism : The font/bolding/size of the poster names is a little hard to read at times.

someone probably already said it, Matt, but I appreciate the links to articles in the header. Saves me hunting through detnews and freep -- when I am supposed to be working. :D

Thanks for everything. I love the new look and features.
