I kinda liked the old version better. Looked more rainbow brite-ish with the blue colors (like her dress, etc).

Also, where's the banner?

That's partly because there's no logo at the top just yet :)

Aw, it's a bit dark...are you working on a background image or is it staying black?

The page background should be blue with stars on it, but the middle area is still black and I wanted to change that. Depending on whether the logo matches with the rest of the theme I might still change things around again. Like Major said, please excuse the sawdust! ;)

I've added several improvements to the boards:

- It now shows the titles of the topics that were last posted in on the forum's main view page
(seriously, that should've been a standard feature in phpbb anyway)
- You can now add a small description to go underneath your topic title when creating a new thread
(again this is usually a standard feature in message boards)
- After submitting a post it redirects you straight to the topic again, no annoying waiting-screen

And some other things which I don't remember right now.

Obviously if you have any more ideas or requests, just get in touch with our mods and admins :)

I didn't realize that internet explorer users had problems viewing the boards because of some graphical errors (white bars etc.) Joey just pointed that out and I was able to fix it.

Sorry about that, I had no idea! ;) I use Firefox myself.

I think that was also the reason why Dragonfly couldn't read the yellow writing cos it was on a very bright background.

Been working on the logo a bit today, so far it's looking really nice already. Won't take long now I think :)
