y:O2 I was using that format too! I like it better, except for the pming part - I didn't care for the commands being at the bottom.

Kurieou, if you see this, the link is broken at the site logo on the top left. I know Rich probably did that during that last issue we had, but just to let you know. That's an important link, I think.

I Think that a new template would be nice, but I would like to see some new things like the ability to choose a font or new emoticons and things along those lines.

Ok, I just got the fuller login again (since it was changed when the board was hacked some time ago) so should be able to make some improvements.

That previous style was not properly branded which is why it was removed. However, I am sure some of you are familiar with phpBB system. Whether you are or not, please look through some of the styles at http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/. I'm happy to setup two additional ones.

Also, I've never liked all the smileys personally. They're a bit of a mish-mash. Feel free to post all the smileys you like the look off and we can narrow down the ones we want (I'm happy to also set them up as long as no copyright is infringed).

The template will often get overwritten during updates, destroying changes like this that are made to it. I will look into a permanent fix when adding the new themes.

Wow, this is pretty mad. So I changed the thingy to the thingy and I now have this new format, with white/silvery/blue yes? I like this alot. Is there more? Or is it a choice between the two? I'm not being greedy, but just want to know that I'm aware of everything ...

That's much nicer, thanks Kurieuo.

Although the Logos software seems to have vanished....

No sorry, the new logo is great.

I was referring to the bible software/plugin type thing. I think it was called Logos and meant if you hovered over a Bible reference the text appeared in a little pop up window.

Ahh, ok. Didn't realise that. I will investigate when I have time.
