Look and Feel
How does everyone feel about the look and feel of the forums site here? Anything that looks really out of sorts or that you think should be changed? Or is the layout something people can live with?
...of course, I am assuming everyone actually defaulted to the non-standard DAJ Glass theme and not subSilver. Hopefully that's the case!

Maybe its just because its early, but I had trouble seeing the Register link. Obviously I found it, but it was just that its grey on the transparent part of the frame, which shows the star background.
But I like the planets and whatnot.

Yes, the original log didn't make sense in the context of the MAS cover.
I am thinking that this logo will be used as the new company logo from here on out, and the original logo will have a "Campaign System" text block added beneath it so that it can be used to denote products tied to the VBAM Campaign System.
This new logo also has the benefit of being easier to have put into clothing or other promotional materials. The matted galaxy on the old one was a bit problematic that way.

Thanks! This was my first attempt to re-skin a phpBB install. I think it turned out okay overall. The top buttons are a bit faded, but I like the transparency effect.Iron Knight wrote:Woohoo! I'm a much bigger fan of these type of forums than yahoo's. The new logo looks very sharp too.
As to web forums vs. mailing lists, it is easier to keep track of running conversations on a web forum, though oftentimes harder to get caught back up on a discussion if you are gone for awhile (whereas with e-mail you can scan through everything and delete if you don't see anything interesting).

I really like using forums as opposed to Yahoo groups since I always have some issue with yahoo groups. Recently it has been formating issues with Outlook and the lovely 1 day delay to get mail.
My only concern is how will this forum withstand the spammers? I know my own forums I have set up had to be locked down to fend off spam.
