Hi all
Don't know why I didn't think of starting a new thread for this before. As all but the most unobservant of you will have noticed the appearance of the forum is being improved (she says modestly).
This was meant to happen after the Barfly gig, but better late than never.
All comments and suggestions very gratefullly received.
I'm working on the logo/header bar next and am most likely going to take Pete's advice from the spam thread and put 'rises' (took me ages to decipher what he meant) in there.
Bear with me, it's more complicated to do than it looks.
Jen x

Cheers Pete.
I don't want it to look like two separate images though, as it does now, and i'm going to replace the some of the text and reposition the rest.
Will be back on it later.

I was pleasantly surprised again It's looking even better! By the way, the out-of-place-looking blue buttons were installed by me in the very creation (and I never got around to substituting all the thread items .. FAIL). I'm more than happy to create the entire set to match your theme If I'm doing this, who has ideas for a font?

Why, thank you Boo. I'm glad people are pleased with it because from my end development seems frustratingly slow.
I would really appreciate it if you could create some new buttons - I hadn't even got around to thinking about them yet. I trust your judgement on choice of font and colour.
Edited for drunk typing.

The Heaven and hell writing is due to be replaced by an image in the correct font - tomorrow morning with luck. I want to move the writing at the end to another box below the menu but haven't worked out how to do thta yet. The roses will look as they are meant to then.
If anyone can see anywhere else where it shows that you have a new PM then I could just delete that text totally- I know how to do that, now.

I like that with the date and new messages at the top. It's nicely handy but unobtrusive.

Hi Sam. Thank you. i can't really takke credit as I just found a code snippet after hours of searching on the support forum. I just want to tweak it a bit now but thta will have to wait until tomorrow.
Drunk typing is setting in. I'll break the whole board if i'm not careful.

Nice one Robyn. I thought it must display somewhere else.
In that case, how do people feel about the PM bar across the top of the header banner. I'm intending to make it the same height as the menu bar below and same background colour, to make it blend in with the overall design better, but do we need it at all?
Your thoughts, ladies and gents?

If you took the top message bar away then the one Robyn pointed out would need to be made much more obvious - I only noticed that one about 3 weeks ago!! I like the way it looks with the bar across the top. Having that and the menu bar kind of 'frames' the roses. I'm loving the new design. Full of LARveliness And I just noticed in the advert at the top that sainsburys have ben & jerrys buy one get one free. See, even the adverts have been improved poetress x
