    The majority of you wouldnt have seen my forum before the change so let me just let you know that it wasnt great. I had a quick 2 minute job header I had made and I have NO experience in Web Design. It looked crap.

    A member of DP has made me a header and fixed the whole forum up for me. And let me tell you, I didnt make it easy with my lack of knowledge. And Im a bit of a blonde too lol :)

    I would like to say a HUGE thankyou to DP Member Vahsi000 for all his great work and patience while re-doing my forum. I highly recommend him for any work! Hes very friendly and as I mentioned, patient! ;)

    What do you guys think of the forum now?

    New & Improved Design!!

    I like the design overall, but why all of those textlinks on the side? maybe put them lower?

    Nice Design, is that a homemade style? I also dont like all the links on the site. I would recommend making some buttons for those in Photoshop or something instead.

    The links are PostPrincess's idea as a source of income. Apparently she promised to advertise thos people's links for a whole month along with the banner beneath the adsense adverts. Although I didn't like the idea in the begining, it's actually better because more and more people have firefox along with ad blocking software, either way the links will always be up there.

    Buttons eh, hmm I actually though about that but then again it would be too much hassle for postprincess to sort through the code, i've probably made it difficult enough for her using div tags instead of table tags ;) but another reason I didn't add graphics beneath the links is because i wouldn't want to attract too much attention to the links and tried to blend them in with google ads.

    The site looks quite good, but those images of the buildings make it look like an industrial type site for some reason as opposed to a webmaster type forum.

    Nice colors. However, the site looks unfinished and kind of uninteresting. Try to add some colors, align properly graphic elements and text.
