Hi Michael,
Thanks for updating the site. I have to agree with Barry, the red backround is harsh. Red flashing in front of me is going to give me a nervous breakdown. Probably something to do with too much time in old airplanes with a lot of red warning lights.

The new lay out looks fine to me. But i also have to agree with greg and barry about the red... Maybe if the frame was a bit bigger it wouldn't be such an issue. the frame ( i mean the part where the text and buttons are located in) looks a bit small this way. i was almost checking if my screensettings were off....

I don't mind the red as it makes the visual link with the original site that I first encountered..

I agree with this.

If it were wider, it wouldn't be as noticeable, but still provide a bit of visual stimulation and link to the GTV6 site.

Hi:

I added the original Style back and set this as default - BUT, you can choose the Red format if you prefer that...

Just use the User Control Panel link above and set the "My Board Style" to proglass_red (the first syle offered on the new PHPBB3 site). If you prefer the current style, just leave the setting set to nosebleed (the previous forum standard).

One word of caution ... the NoseBleed style is still in Alpha release - which means it might be unstable and is probably buggy - so if you have trouble, post here.

Enjoy...

Very nice! This is the best forum on the net for the hardcore Now if only we had more people here.

I do think the site should allow google ads. They are not distracting and they will bring in a little revenue. I can promise I will put up an ad here if it's an option.

Great Michael, I like this style better, I find it easier to read than the red one.
Also agree with Greg on the google ad's, I surf other forums and they are not annoying at all and they can help maintain the site, just a thought though.
