Consider this our more official hello to the world. We're starting off with a blue-themed design, but green love will come, too. :green:

Special thanks to MKU for designing the logo and RainbowDash for designing the camo background.

A lot is happening around here, so please check back and check back often - and expect change - as we regrow our AoS community. Baby steps! :mrgreen:

When on the forum index the link bar messes up a bit for me, but other than that it looks pretty good!

Are you ever going to try to orient the avatars on the left? I could point you to some tutorials if you don't know how.

Why it needs to be on the left ?

Well, the PHPBB forums that we had for 11 months had avatars on the left so I figured people would be more comfortable with that.

Agreed heh.

Would also be good to limit signature image sizes, one guy has a huge image in there..
And what's with the random smiley faces for the avatars!? For some strange reason it kinda creeps me out.

Also, i believe there is a limit 200 px X 200 px for avatar,(Maximum dimensions; width: 200 pixels, height: 200 pixels, file size: 62.50 KiB.) maybe it's better to limit it to 100 x 100 with the size of the forum,

Now that you mention it is more handy to have it on the left ;)

What about a 'thanks' feature, not thumbs down; only thumbs up. So you only get the positive stuff from it, so people don't go '+1' but instead thank the user to show their approval/agreement with a message. This would not go to any statistics , since we don't want the elitist "HAHA I got more thanks then you" stuff going on.
