Please post any comments, suggestions, or technical bugs that you find with the board's general appearance!

I will take all suggestions into consideration and fix all bugs as quickly as possible.

Things I've Noticed So Far:
• I think the text is too light, but I'd like some second opinions on this.
• The graphic for the topic headers isn't big enough for titles on replying pages, and looks terrible on the profile page. I need to figure out if the css will let me use a different graphic for these areas.

I think the whole skin is awesome. Love the whole "old parchment" vibe I'm getting from it...

And I haven't seen the problem you're talking about... I'll pay more attention to it, though, in the future.

the headers, i'd say that you could screenshot the page, see how big the text is, and have the title bubble thing run all the way across to fit any title/header. i could do this if you'd like. :)

edit:
link:

just replace the current image url with this one and it should work. i don't want any credit, i only extended the creator's work.

One thing I've noticed is that the text color for links blends right in with the color for normal text, making it harder to distinguish between the two.

Ok! We now have an Announcements Box. Please give me your opinions! Especially:

• Do you like the scrolling? Because I can stop it! Note that when you move your mouse over the box, the scrolling pauses.

• The Box appears on *every* page of the board. I cannot prevent this. Well, I could try, but it would probably take 6 hours of javascript coding. Is this horribly annoying, or can we deal with it?

• Are there any other quick links you'd like in the box, perhaps instead of the Log In?

Be kind, I spent 2 hours formatting the thing! ^_^

This is what I see. The dark areas of the bar suggest its being stretched

Is that internet explorer? (and does anyone else have this problem?)

Edit: Yes, it was an Internet Explorer issue. I believe it's fixed now! Please let me know if there are further bugs.

Links embedded in posts seem to be really light, almost the same color as the text surrounding them. Is there any way they could be made to be a little darker or otherwise stand out? :)

If the skin's CSS, it's very simple to fix.

Code:
 
A:link {text-decoration: none}
A:visited {text-decoration: none}
A:active {text-decoration: none}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline}


The current skin's link properties probably look something like that.

Code:
 
A:link {text-decoration: underline}
A:visited {text-decoration: none}
A:active {text-decoration: none}
A:hover {text-decoration: none}


That should do the trick, methinks.

I kind of like that they're not underlined, I just wish they were a little darker. But as long as I can see the link I'll be happy.

The same change can be applied to alter the color of all the links on the page. B)
