Nobody panic, I'm just messing with the style a little to clean things up and improve navigation.

Okay, guys. That should wrap it up for now. Toss any bugs you find in the bug tracker for the forums.

...and already Mike is complaining that I reduced the number of posts shown in the Recent posts box on the index.

Yeah, I was just gonna say that, haha. Also, what exactly did you change? The forum still looks like the default PhPBB one...

Some tweaks to the header, mainly, along with the home page and the index. I redid the login boxes, removed the recent posts on the home page, changed the navigation in the header, and also fixed the logo.

It's not much, but it's what has been needing taken care of for a while now.

And also, there's some other things I added, which isn't ready to roll out just yet. That, you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for.

I think it is really important to make sure that any changes are helpful and not hurtful. I honestly think it is tougher to navigate now than before. I miss the login on the front page that was in the top right corner. I think that made it easier for people as well for find where to register. I do miss the recent posts on the front page, and the recent posts at the bottom of the index page looks sloppy to me being squished in there. Also 4 is way too small, even when it was 7 I thought it was way too few. What do other people think of the changes? Take care.

I can try moving the login area up a bit more on the page, but I'm not going to have it in two-column form on the home page like it was before -- it was taking up a lot of space for no reason.
